No probs but your links are still active :)
 
Around £600. The most demanding game is probably Max Payne 3, but generally point and clicks.
Looking for savings or more bang for buck

its good but its already outdated

id pick z97 if you can wait till mid june for the unlocked devils canyon cpu's

if not then go z87 but would be worth waiting imo
 
Just wait for the z87 price drop

Your best of buying a used case then getting your board cpu gpu off overclockers I would go for a gd quality power supply
There are some great deals too be had on ssd s On overclockers plus rma things is quite straight forward
If u have too
 
My friend wont accept used I'm afraid.

Could I use a Z97 board with the 4670k if I wanted (Depending on the new cpu prices)?
Should I use an Amd or Nvidia GPU?

Considering your over budget WITHOUT A GPU that is certainly not the way forward.
