Hello all, can someone please help me with the following build. I've been researching a bit and come to the conclusion that the best bang for buck at the moment are:

CPU - Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM
GFX - EVGA GeForce GTX 660 FTW ACX 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (02G-P4-3063-KR)

I need everything else though with some prerequisites:
Case must be plain
Win 7 HP
16GB RAM
SSD boot drive

No need for monitor and KB/Mouse.

Hoping to have a full build for £600-700...
 
As close to £700 as I could get it with the components you've asked to be included. The compromises are no optical or storage drives. However I have to question your choices. If budget is an issue then surely saving by not getting the 'K' version of the cpu would be a better bet? Unless you plan on overclocking there really isn't any point.

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-4770K 3.50GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - OEM £249.95
1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 660 EX OC V2 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (66NPH7DN7CNZ) £129.95
1 x MSI Z87-G43 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard - FREE Alpenfohn Civetta Cooler!! £86.99
1 x Toshiba SSD HDTS212EZSTA 9.5mm 128GB Solid State Hard Drive - Retail £65.99
2 x Avexir Core Red Series 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Kit (AVD3U16000904G-2CIR) £49.99 (£99.98)
1 x SuperFlower Amazon 450W "80 Plus Bronze" Power Supply £39.95
1 x BitFenix Comrade Midi-Tower - Black £29.99
Total : £716.29 (includes shipping : £11.25).

 
Thanks for the spec, looking good.

Isn't the i7-4770 only about £25 cheaper than the K? I like having the option of an overclock and it outperforms the non-K stock a little anyway.
 
If you are planning to overclock it makes sense to spend on the K series now then. If going down that route I would advise faster RAM than the stuff I've specced.
 
Xeons are old architecture and only really useful for critical server stuff where the machines get left on for months on end. Stick with the Haswell, it'll be faster for what you need it for.
