You're welcome.

The Forcebox Gamer Plus spec you've selected has a nicer case (at £69.95 it's on the expensive side for this total budget), and a 200MHz faster CPU (this will hardly make a difference for gaming). However, the 960 4GB is a considerably better GPU than the 750Ti so the gaming performance of the spec with the 960 is superior. There's also the AMD 380 4GB for £10 extra, which is a little better than the 960 overall. But given your preferred case choice, I think you favour Nvidia.

For GTA V you do want more than 2GB Vram if possible. It does use more, easily. You'd have to cut down on several key graphics settings for that game to get it down to around 2GB.

My spec plus OcUK build fee should come out cheaper than £682.04.

My opinion is that the BitFenix Phenom Nvidia White is pricey for the budget and cuts into the performance (don't go with the 750Ti). So I would advise you to look for a cheaper case that you like, unless you really like the Nvidia Phenom case and don't mind spending extra for something like this:

My rough guess (OcUK decides the quote for each build) is that the total for the above could be £700-720.

The Asus H81M-PLUS motherboard is a slightly better option than the H81M-K (the latter lacks USB 3.0 for case headers).

or pay extra and get a K i5


on another note, i have the asus H81M-Plus and its a great board, but i have a locked i3 so i dont know how good the overclocking is as i cant check, but the bios menu is the best ive ever see, so nice to look at and good information/options.
