No stranger to building PC's back in the days of ivybridge, but I sold my PC a while ago. Hasty decision I may add, that I regret. Bought a laptop, but no matter how much persuasion I give it, you can't really do much with HD graphics.
Anyway recently built a budget pc using old components for my better half as she's a D3 fan, but now it's got me interested in doing a second budget build for D3 at max graphics.
Any advice would be good as I'm a stranger to haswell (which look a bit out of the price range i'm looking at), and the new intel duel cores on haswell?
Needs to run D3 in max, needs to be below £400, would prefer intel & nvidia, although I'm falling behind with what's good, so I'm fairly game on whatever you suggest. I've literally spent a day looking at parts and don't know which direction to take.
I know a little about overclocking as I overclocked my ivybridge.

Is there a reason behind the motherboard other than price? i.e. overclocking ease?
Just curious as i'm pricing up the same list on scan.co.uk so it can all come from the same place. They have a gigabyte motherboard, z97, for a lower price.
The Pentium I chose is the 20th Anniversary Edition, and the moptherboard I chose is one of the two chipsets that the CPU is guaranteed to work in (the other chipset being the Z87, which has lower features). I'm pushing tof rhte best features within the budget.
