I need a gaming build £700-£850 Max, everything. I want to be able to play the latest games at high settings. And I want specifically Intel based, as I have had bad experience with AMD. Thanks, and everything is greatly appreciated.
 
Well, I could build myself, but I don't know what the fees are if overclockers build it, but I would want to know the fee.
 
And do overclockers supply coupon codes or something, cause I've noticed the prices are really high then most stores.

Choosing a cheap motherboard will have an effect on system itself, will I notice and lagage ect...? What's the difference from getting a mobo like Asus maximum Gene or even Hero.
 
The board will not effect performance at all.

More expensive boards have extra features like SLI support (also do crossfire at 8X/8X instead of 16X/4X) and more/better power circuitry to help overclock better, this Z97 board will allow you to overclock but not break any world records.

Sure, thanks do overclockers offer coupon codes or anything, and can the motherboard be improved to a btter one or even the GFX.
 
I dont know about codes/coupons. But ask them.


Better board (does SLI+Crossfire at 8X/8X)

Just noticed that the graphics card is old, It's a used GPU. I'd want to Opt out on that. Also I have a Windows 8.1 OEM disk that I bought 2 months before on a offer.
 
 
Will it be able to run latest games at high or extreme settings? Like GTA 5 at max settings, Far cry, basically the heavy GPU games.
 
Most things are a digital download these days, Windows can be installed via a USB stick.

That case is cheap'ish, 3 fans with speed controllers, silenced and room inside for long gfx cards and average sized coolers.

If you can find something else that you like then go for it.

you get free shipping, so it's right on budget
went for a z87 build instead of a z97 (not much difference there) but the combo is cheaper, allowing:
1) ssd
2) heatsink for overclocking
3) optical drive for good measure (remove if not needed)
the only downside is that the ram in the combo is 1600mhz. not the best, but hey, at £795 for a full build, you can't have your cake and eat it too, unfortunately =(

PS: i guess you could always ask in the customer service section to see if they'll upgrade the ram for a nominal sum =/

Not sure about that.

Z97 is more future proof (Supports Broadwell where as Z87 has no BIOS updates to do so).

Inferior monitor (he said gaming so the faster response time from the 1ms will reduce if not eliminate ghosting).

Slower GFX card.
