spec help

Won't I see performance difference if I go for £200 gigabyte?

How about this then for the build

MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **NEW REVISION**??

Much better than the Gigabyte 7870, and you should make back most if not all of the difference if you sell the games.

I am going for this spec to meet my gaming needs, now before I purchase this within the next two months I want to know if this system will cope with the max settings on the games which I will intend to play on 24 inch Samsung display?

The 4670K is an i5. But you've put the wrong kind of CPU in.

The H100i may not fit in that case, I'm not sure. Unless you're going for high overclocks you'll be fine with an air cooler, which would be a lot cheaper.
 
dam your right, Im falling asleep absolutely no concentration!

I just want high quality graphics by default teppic, I wont be doing a lot of overclocking, maybe a tiny tiny bit...maybe
 
Well the 4670K can be overclocked, or just left at stock, it's up to you. I'd go for air cooling if you won't be doing much though. Not many games need a huge amount of CPU power, it's normally more about the GPU, and the 7970 is extremely good. You would get max settings in almost all games at 1080p, but not all - some would need two cards for that.
 
You would be better waiting until you are ready to buy, as prices and offers change.
That way we will know(hopefully), exactly what your budget is and spec you a system accordingly.
