Expert opinion?

Hi, Haven't build a custom PC for around 5 years and its time to upgrade.

Ive made this one up, is there anything your'd swap etc?

Looking at playing CS:GO, BF4 and future games.

Things im debating is stick to Intel or go AMD which means different Board to, and what case to go for?



Thanks.

What is your budget? Judging from the above, about £1K?

I'd definitely re-shuffle a few things. You can get a better PSU for the money for starters, and the motherboard is a little low-rent for an i5 4690K. That board was really designed with the unlocked Pentium in mind.

I'll do a basket when I get home, in the mean time I'm sure some other members will help out.

£90 is a lot of money for a 650w PSU.

You cant do SLI on that board, so a 550W PSU is plenty for a single GFX card.

RAM+SSD are expensive too.
