Hello!

This will be my first gaming pc. I have researched individual components somewhat but am far from an expert and could do with other's opinions/ expertise.

Games I will be playing the most: Dark souls 3, Fallout 4, CS:GO, COD Black Ops 3, various MMOs.

My budget is £1,000. I do not need a keyboard, mouse or monitor. I do however need windows 10 included.

No clue what to look for in a case so any recommendations there is appreciated!

My basket at Overclockers UK:
  • 1 x OcUK Kinetic Z1 - Intel Z170 Configurable Skylake DDR4 Gaming PC = £994.79
    • Case:BitFenix Ronin Tower Case - Black

When i click the link it says We tried to load your configuration but there was an issue, please check all your options.

Add your spec to the basket then use the bb code button at the bottom of the web page to copy and paste here please.
 
I am unsure as of yet, first I would need to learn how to and how much of a benefit that would be. How much of a difference would that make and would i need any extra cooling as a result?

If i were not to overclock, what would i be better off with instead to save some money?
 
If i decide later on to overclock the cpu & gpu, I should still be fine with the stock 600W psu right?

Would you recommend any of the cases from the options available on that build? Ones that caught my eye were the BitFenix Ronin, in-win 703 and Corsair carbide series spec-03
