I recently have start putting a build together and i need you guys to help me choose the rest of the new rig.

Currently i have
YOUR BASKET
1 x Inno3D GeForce GTX 980 "iChill Herculez X4 Air Boss Ultra" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (C98U-1SDN-M5DNX) **OcUK Exclusive** £499.99
1 x Crucial MX100 512GB SATA 2.5” 7mm SSD + 9.5mm Adapter CT512MX100SSD1) £162.95
1 x Corsair Hydro H100i High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler (CW-9060009-WW) £88.00
Total : £760.54 (includes shipping : £8.00).



So i need to fill in the blanks.
I have around £1200 left to play with. Im going to need: Ram, Mobo, psu, cpu, Hdd, Os, monitor and keyboard (anything i missed?).

I was thinking something like this but need a bit of advice on the keyboard and monitor.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK - Devil's Canyon Core i7 4790K CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£15 Saving + Gigabyte Free Upgrade + £30 Intel Cashback ** £387.98
1 x Avexir Venom Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 PC3-17200C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U21331108G-2CIG) - Green Light £119.99
1 x SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £119.99
1 x NZXT H440 Midi-Tower - Black / Green £89.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £77.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST2000DM001) HDD £64.99
Total : £877.43 (includes shipping : £13.75).


So i have around £350 left for monitor or keyboard but maybe could stretch a little more if its worth it

Sorry for the confusing post but i would really appreciate some advice for my new build.

The GTX 970 is far better value for money. Another option would be an R9 290/X as they have dropped in price. You would need a different Monitor though.

Avexir Ram has White LED's. You can also add things like Bitfenix/NZXT led strips if you want more lighting inside the case.

The Phanteks Luxe is a great case and it has led lighting on the outside. You can choose a few different colours (10 I think) or switch them off altogether.

I am not that clued up on Keyboards, but there is room left for a good Mechanical one.

Do you need an DVD drive, Mouse or Speakers ?

Just adding that these strips would work with the case already, just plug and play into the socket :D Will change with the currently installed LED controller on the case

Drop the GTX980 and go with a pair of R9 290X lightning cards. They will thrash the GTX980 into next week for less money.

The Lightning is a nice price at the moment, as are most of the 290/X cards. If the op isn't fussed about an Nvidia card then they are a great buy.
 
Thanks for your replies guys. The thing is, I already have the 980 and am thinking of sli in the future.

So just to reiterate I already have the gpu, cooler and ssd. So need to fill in the rest.

Thanks again for your help
