Hey guys,

Can I get some thoughts on the following build please. Storage, PSU (XFX 850W '80 Plus Silver') and cooling (Corsair H50) will be recycled from old rig.

YOUR BASKET
1 x MSI GeForce GTX 970 Gaming Edition 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £281.99
1 x Intel Core i7-4790K 4.00GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £259.99
1 x Kingston HyperX 16GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900C10 1866MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Red (HX18C10BRK2/16-OC) £129.95

The only thing I'm truly set on is the case. Any savings would be greatly appreciated.

Looking ok, but go with a bundle like below:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 - Devils Canyon Core i7 4790K CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£43 Saving** £347.99
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-17100C11 2133MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLD38G2133HC11ADC01) £65.99

I went with 8gb of ram as this is fine for gaming, unless you need 16gb?

That bundle is a great shout cheers. Nah no requirement for 16gb.

Cheers man, quite a saving there.
