Gaming rig £1000 budget.

[Alydariel]

I am looking to build a new gaming rig. It will mainly be used for MMO's so it doesn't have to be amazing spec-wise, just something that will do the job and be good for the next 4 years or so.

So far I have bought:

Cooler Master HAF X Gaming Tower Case - Black (RC-942)

I am looking to spend another £1000 or so but some leeway either side is fine.
I am not looking for any peripherals or an optical drive, SSD as I already have those.

Is it worth waiting for reductions in gfx cards as the 1070's are soon to be released? I would prefer an Nvidia card.

Any advice would be appreciated as my knowledge is limited.

Is Windows required?

Do you need extra storage (how much)?

Do you have a nice monitor already?

For MMO's you don't need a really powerful video card. 960/380 will be fine, although it makes sense to wait for the RX 480 if possible. You could spend the rest of the budget on a really nice monitor, for example.

My monitor is only a year old and it does the job
As for storage I won't be needing any extra I believe, although that may change in time.

Thank you for the build StarShock, I will look into it and it is nice to see I can save some money!
