Don't know if you can re-use your cooler? If it fits socket 1155 it will fit 1150. Otherwise spend £20+ on top of that for a new one.

Note that this rig is dual GPU ready. If you only intend on having one card, then reduce PSU to a good 550 or 650W.

Likewise you may want to begin with 8GB memory and see how it goes.

It's just that it all pretty much fits for £1000 already.

And here are some slightly better motherboards along with CPU in bundles if you want to spend a little extra:

1 x Gigabyte Z97X-UD3H-BK - Devil's Canyon Core i7 4790K CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£15 Saving + Gigabyte Free Upgrade ** £397.98
1 x Asus Maximus VII Ranger - Devils Canyon Core i7 4790K CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£12 Saving** £387.94
1 x Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 7 - Devils Canyon Core i7 4790K CPU & Motherboard Bundle **£25 Saving** £373.98
Total : £1,169.50 (includes shipping : £8.00).



Not that there's anything wrong with the Z97X-SLI.
