Hi guys, been posting the forums a while now about different computer specifications and I have now decided to actually get the computer as I have the money saved up. I'm not going to buy the Graphics Card till March as it is my birthday. It's around £670 without the Graphics Card so I really have £700 to spend. The PC will be used to play Battlefield 4 and other big titles. I won't be playing any games till March as I will get the graphics card but for now I'll be using the IGP for games such as Minecraft. I will be using Adobe Suite CS6 for Website Design, picture editing etc. I have came up with a specification below of what I think I should get also I do not want AMD as I'm more of a fan for Intel and NVIDIA.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Corsair Vengeance Pro Blue 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (CMY16GX3M2A1600C9B) £149.99
1 x Intel Core i5-4430 3.00GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £139.99
1 x Gigabyte H87N-WIFI Intel H87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Mini ITX Motherboard £101.99
1 x Seasonic G series 550w '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £71.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £71.99
1 x BitFenix Phenom Mini-ITX Cube Case - Midnight Black £69.95
1 x Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (WD5000AAKX) HDD £39.95
1 x Gigabyte KM6150 Keyboard and Mouse Set £9.98
Total : £669.92 (includes shipping : £11.75).



Also I will be wanting 16GB of RAM and a Quad Core Processor, I think the PSU should be fine as it is a seasonic which will be a big plus for a case this small. I will need a External DVD Drive for my sisters laptop and a charger, the DVD drive will be used for my PC as well but these items will not be in my budget. Graphics Card wise I was thing of getting a EVGA GeForce GTX 760 within a few months and hopefully they will come down in price. Also I will require WiFi which in this case will have to be built into the motherboard or as a USB but I would prefer to have it build in. The processor I reckon should be enough but I would prefer to have that one as I would like to have it at the price the PC is the moment. Also fell free to reply many thanks.
 
Not sure just seen a BIOS screen of one and it shows a RAM multiplier of 21.33 which would mean the RAM is running at 2133MHz

You can just see it in the background, but the review says there is no memory divider to adjust. So maybe that picture is showing XMP enabled which is on a different BIOS page called "Advanced Memory settings"
 
I think it will, but even if it don't then it will default down to 1333Mhz or 1600Mhz, RAM can run slower you know:)
