So I'm planning to buy a prebuilt desktop, The titan bayonet, it will be my rendering/light gaming build, I have put an i7-4790 Hyperthreaded CPU, an R9 280, a Barrucuda 1TB, and Samsung 850 Evo 120GB, and the case will be a corsair 200R so will it be a decent build? It comes out at about £850 I'm gonna have to stretch my £800 budget by about £50 so if there is a cheaper build using the custom system configurator then please recommend below, I want a pre build system please, many thanks :D
 
This is what you have through the configurator:

1 x Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £42.95
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 280 Dual-X 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £155.99

1 x Standard Build Systems - Dispatched within 7 working days £0
Total : £874.86 (includes shipping : £12.50).





Or you can pick out the parts. Something like this:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i7-4790 3.60GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £249.95
1 x MSI Radeon R9 280 Gaming 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £149.99
1 x Samsung 120GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E120B/EU £74.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £62.99
1 x SuperFlower Golden Green HX 450W "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - Black £49.99
1 x Corsair Carbide 200R Compact ATX Case - Black (CC-9011023-WW) £49.99
1 x Kingston HyperX Savage Red 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (HX324C11SRK2/8) £46.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (ST1000DM003) HDD £42.95
1 x LG 24x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM GH24NSC0.AUAA10B £13.99
Total : £756.83 (includes shipping : £12.50).



And ask OcUK to build it for you (for approx. £60) for a grand total of £816 or so. And that way you have room in your budget for a copy of Windows too, unless you already have one?

The Titan Bayonet also brings a Prolimatech CPU cooler but doesn't say which and I doubt it's worth the £60 difference between the two specs.

But before you take the plunge either way, is this going to be mainly for gaming and then general usage?

An R9 290 would be within reach if you opted for an i5. On average there's only 1-2 FPS difference between i5 and i7 at gaming. The bigger FPS gain is with a more powerful video card. In fact, an overclocked i5-K will be faster for gaming than a non-K i7.

It will be mainly for video editing/rendering in vegas I opted for the i7 because it had hyperthreading which vegas will take advantage of other than that I might be doing cashual/light gaming
