Hi. Ive been forced to use a laptop for the last 18 months and decided to save up for a new rig for Hawell. It will be used for a variety of things including:
Gaming
CAD work
Photoshop
Video Editing
3D Rendering

Im looking at a further budget of about £450 - £525 for a Hawell CPU & Board.

Any advice or something major wrong with my choices?

Thanks

Im just trying to find the budget for a 780 card instead... looking at the reviews it doesnt look like a 7970 is a good way to go.

Changed the PSU. Thanks for that. well spotted

The MSI MPower Z87 looks lush :)
 
I was looking at those Iiyama Prolite displays..

Its not a company iv'e heard much about!
Are they the beko of monitors or a decent make/model?
