    Hi, i'm from the UK just to begin with so you know. I'm looking to upgrade from a laptop i bought last year ( i7 3610QM, GT650m) it currently does everything i need but with the new gen coming up i'd like a boost and to move to a desktop for obvious laptop related flaws.

    Back ground info:
    Currently have a 1920x1080p monitor but would be looking to upgrade to 2560x1440p eventually.
    i'm looking around the £1000-£1200 mark
    Ideally i'd like intel/nvidia
    i have my own hard drive, hense only the SSD

    here's what i've come up with;

    CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
    CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

    I know this isn't much, but I managed to save a few coins for no performance loss.
    1866 ram is useless for gaming, 1600 is all you need.

    My suggested build.
