Hello good people!
Straight and short, as other billion people here, I would love to build a ultimate performance per pound machine.
The goals: gaming on max/ultra and may be streaming meanwhile.
Budget: 800-900£ ; things I don't need are monitor keyboard and mouse.
I'm based in London/ UK so parts from new egg or other nice,cheap,good quality sites are not an option for me :(.
Thank you for your help!

CM make fantastic cases. The 200R is focused towards silence I believe.

As for Windows. Well... You can modify 8. Even so much so to get a new start button easily.

Also MS will halt support for windows 7 in 2015-2020, so I thought 8 was safer. Your choice.

Gaming won't be severely impacted performance-wise either way. The GTX 760 is one of the

most affordable performance cards, so it's a good choice. I just didn't know what you intended

on playing. Mind you, there's also value in the 4 games you get with the 7970. You could sell them.

You could get a 760 and then SLI it later on. The build has this encompassed already, in the shape

of an SLI ready motherboard and a plentiful PSU.

Well. ..Despite it goes more than the budget and I think I have to add few bucks for CM Storm Enforcer its great value for the money I guess. I m not sure about the OS to be honest, was thinking to go for Windows 7 , cuz of all the bad reviews and comments about Windows8.
Other than that what do you think about gtx760 as the less expensive option , or same price GTX Gpu?
