Hi guys. Going to treat myself to a new gaming pc as mine is not cutting it at the moment and I want to have a system that will play all todays games and future ones like BF4 with no problems AT ALL and will keep me going for the forseeable future.
I have used the system configurator and have come up with this below. Budget is between £1250-£1450. If you guys have any suggestions as to any parts I should change please say below. But just mainly wanting to know is this a worthy build for a gamer like me, before I purchase.
Thanks guys!!!

Thanks for this man. I did think about maybe going SLI in the future, but thought not much point, by time i finish paying this off the newest set of cards wouldve come out :P. I havent the best knowledge in pc specs, but just about understand the basics. I have just put it in my basket and will purchase shortly.
Thanks again :D
 
Unless you are looking to upgrade to an SLI configuration in the future this would be my selection. Only a couple of minor changes but they will improve performance

That's Haswell i7 4770K rather than Ivybridge, with 2133MHz memory rather than 1600MHz. Clock for clock Haswell outperforms Ivybridge and it has the added benefit of a better memory controller which is why we recommend 1866Mhz+ for most Haswell users.

Orderered yesterday. Cant wait to recieve i next week hopefully :D:D
Thanks again!
