First build in a while

[cmfarsight]

Hi, I have been away from Pc gaming for a while, now have cash and looking to get back in, building a rig for about 1200 that has a bit of head room for SIL, over clocking etc down the line. This is what I have so far.

1x MSI Geforce GTX 770 (£239)
1x i5 4670k (£170)
1x Asus Z87-pro (socket 1150) (£148)
1x seasonic G series 750w modular power supply (£100)
1x Crucial m500 120gb ssd (£62)
1x Seagate Barracuda 7200rpm 1tb HDD (£43)
2x 4gb team group elite black 1600mhz ram (£50)
1x Bitfenix Ronin Tower case (£68)
1x Samsung x18 DVD ROM (£13)
1x Akasa internal card reader (£8)
1x Asus VS228DE 22" monitor ((£100)
1x windows 8 64 bit (£75)

other peripherals (£120)

total ~£1220

PSU is 750w so I can SLI relativity soon, at which time I will get a decent CPU cooler for over-clocking fun. Is there anything I am over or under speckling?

Opinions and advice would be great thanks.

Thanks, will look into monitors will have to read up on them tbh know very little about them. I think the Samsung is a better option over the critical so will swap that. The mother board was chosen for the onbord wifi as much as any thing else which I need and once you add in a wifi card the price difference over the cheaper boards is not that great.

did a bit of reading up, those powerline plugs seem pretty good will defiantly get a few

mmmm the 290 is rather appealing.
