Hello! I will be building my first powerful pc (mainly for gaming) sometime around Christmas and I would like to know what would be the best for me. My budget is £2000 including mouse, keyboard and monitor and I will be using this system for gaming mostly (BF4, War Thunder and some others too) therefore I want it to be able to pull at least 60-70fps on ultra settings in BF4.
On the other hand I will be using the system for some website developing and every day use. I would also want it to be quite sleek (red and black theme) so it looks good on the desk. I would greatly appreciate if any of you guys would come up with a nice build.
 
I think you would be better off coming back nearer the time.

The upcoming Haswell refresh 'k' cpu's will be out by then, but there is also Broadwell and Haswell-E on the horizon as well.
 
Not sure what monitor size you're after so I've just gone with a nice 27" ;)

This build looks great ! But i forgot to mention that I would like to go with Nvidia for this so I guess i could just change the GPU for a MSI GTX 780Ti. And yea I thought about asking for help later but I would like to gradually buy the parts. Maybe I see some offers and stuff like this.
