Haven't built a computer for 4 years so bit out of the loop on hardware other than my research for the last week.

Build I'm looking at is

4690k
250gb 850 Samsung ssd
Recommendation on mobo?
Recommendation on case?
Antec True Power 650W 80 Plus Gold or similar?
Gtx 970 strix
 
Haven't got a monitor yet but looking at 1080p for the time being. Budget is around £700? I'm pretty much just looking at a great 1080p gaming machine that can play everything at high settings
 
Well looking at the 970 as I can get one for £200 off a friend. If I have to pay more that's fine but want max sorta settings at 1080p not interested in anything more at the moment as don't want to break the bank for a suitable monitor for higher resolutions. Most I'm totally clueless with is mobo and a case that'll fit it all.
 
How about PSU? I want to invest in a good one as I've been told the 970 has issues with coile whine if you get a ****e one. would a 650w be better? for expansion and such in the future.
 
Should I look at getting a 750w for the future? how long would a quality one stand to last? I wouldn't mind putting two in there in the future if it's worth it to stretch current computer further by just buying a gtx970 in a few years time which should be cheap instead of a new generation. Is this a feasible solution? or just stick with singular cards unless I can afford a new generation solution at the time?
