I'm currently building up a system, at the minute I'm only looking to buy the CPU, mobo, RAM etc.

The budget is roughly £600.

I don't need a case or HDD as I have those already.

An OS needs to be included in the price. And I think an i5 would be good as I'm looking to add a GPU (preferably something 290-esque) after exams, at which point this should become my gaming PC :D

I'm looking to get a mild overclock on the CPU.

Here's what I've come up with:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail £199.99
1 x Samsung 250GB 850 EVO SSD 2.5" SATA 6Gbps 32 Layer 3D V-NAND Solid State Drive (MZ-75E250B/EU) £89.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-Bit DVD - OEM (WN7-00614) £77.99
1 x EVGA Supernova GS 550W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £64.99
1 x Gigabyte Z97P-D3 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £63.95
1 x TeamGroup Vulcan RED 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit (TLRED38G2400HC11CDC01) £47.99
1 x Raijintek Themis Direct Contact CPU Cooler £19.99
Total : £574.49 (includes shipping : £8.00 Ex.VAT).



Any suggestions?

Thanks for any help in advance,
Andreas

Have you checked that the cooler fits in your case?
 
Thanks for the quick reply Stulid, yes the cooler fits but thanks for reminding me, would have totally forgotten to check :D

Those builds look great and I like that they colour match a lot better.

The only thing that's slightly bugging me is the PSU, I know I specced the same one but I'd rather ask to make sure; will it have enough power to run a single 290-esque card?
