Hi,

The PC will be used for gaming, and I'd like to not need to do any tinkering with it initially. My budget is around £350, but can go higher if needed with a ceiling of £400.

I'm after quality and reliable components.

I'm thinking this is a good CPU to go with:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail

As for everything else, I'm too way out of touch to choose one :p

Looking to order as soon as possible, to will need items that are in stock now.

Thanks in advance

That cooler is larger than you think, its over 170mm tall so may not fit every case.
 
Thanks for the recommendations everyone :)

Case that I'm re-using is an old 'Lian-Li PC-7B PLUS II Aluminium Midi-Tower Case'. It currently houses a Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler which is pretty big. A very old PC I passed on :p

If the Raijintek Ereboss is too large, what's a recommended one that is more likely to fit? Also, what's a current recommended TIM to apply if the CPU cooler doesn't already come with it applied?

I've seen the TeamGroup Vulcan RED RAM recommended across many threads, but not heard of them before and not seen many reviews of them. Are they good quality and reliable?
 
I ended up going for William-Mathew suggestion. The bundle was tempting, but I'm too impatient to wait for the 5 working days to build and I'm not too keen on the selection of coolers.

Thanks again everyone :)
