Am looking to build a Gaming rig for around £2000.
This would include the monitor, keyboard and mouse.

I love the idea of having a 4k display, or even 2560x1440 but I really think I'm swaying towards a 144hz 27" 1080p monitor...

I'm looking forward to GTA 5 coming out this year and I really want a system thats going to run that game specifically on max settings

Any help would be greatly appreciated... :)
 
This is what I have in my cart so far, around £1800 i think.
Without mouse and keyboard...

Anything bad here?

Never heard of Antec... what are their warranties like? :)

I'm having second thoughts about the white NZXT... If I went with Black with the red rim, I could go with the "Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 - Devils Canyon Core i7 4790K CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£43 Saving**" been as though that has a black and red board :)

Maybe with some red cathode lighting it would look nice? :)
 
Well Ive changed the Motherboard/CPU combo to what Lee suggested. Nice red that will go with the case. the MSI card I chose also has a nice red part on the card. Also swapped the mouse for a M40 mouse, red :) Just trying to find some Red ram now...
 
Lee, I notice your going with 2x4GB... I thought 16GB was the nice sweet spot? :)

also I notice your choosing faster Mhz ram, I thought slower timings were better for gaming and you won't notice the effect of faster Mhz ram... am i wrong? :$
