Hi all,

I'm looking for a new build to play games such as World Of Warcraft (CPU Intensive), Overwatch, BF4 and CSG:GO. I'm not looking for maximum quality, but as close as I can get for my budget. My budget is in the range of £600-750 - HOWEVER, I am travelling to the states very soon, and might be able to find some good deals there if I get the parts together.

I already have a 600W PSU, 16GB RAM and a R9 390 8GB edition. My current motherboard and CPU are Z86AP-D3 and an I5 2500k 3.3GHZ OCed to 4.2GHZ.

I'm looking for a new motherboard, CPU, Case, Cooler and SSD and anything else you think I'm missing. I've been having problems with my machine so I'm just going to upgrade while I have the money.

Thanks guys, I look forward to the responses. Please can you spec me something up that will last me around 2-3 years.
 
Thanks for the help. I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to stuff like this, so I take it the 6700k is an I5, too? Is there any in particular? Also worth mentioning I use Sony Vegas and photoshop quite frequently as a part time job on the side, so rendering times seeing an increase in speed would be ideal. Also what motherboard would be compatible? Cooling is a big thing, too, right?! Sorry for silly questions.

Thanks CSMonkeh. It was originally 4.4 GHZ, but I toned it down to 4.2 because of restarts, it's been nearly a year and things are starting to go "blue" again. Like I said though, my little bro is going to invest my current computer so an upgrade would benefit us both.

Thanks for the help, bro.
 
Thank you so much for the recommendations, guys. I really appreciate it.

I do understand that I don't NEED an upgrade, but as my brother gets older he wants to play more PC games. Having him invest in my already half decent computer is a good enough reason for me to rebuild my own, as he won't have to spend any money.
