Hi All,

I'm looking to built a new PC and so far I have the one below. As I'm not an expert I would like to have your opinions on this build. The maximum amount I would like to spend on this is about 2000 USD. I've tried looking around for a little bit cheaper one the the one I've build but it seems I can't find components with a good performance. The PC will be used for gaming, Photoshop but taking into to account the budget.
I would highly appreciate your feed-back on the built below.

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£165.59 @ Aria PC)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£23.98 @ Scan.co.uk)

Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£45.99 @ Ebuyer)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card (£265.00 @ Amazon UK)

Looks like you've put this together on the UK website. Try using the US site (top right, select United States) as I've found, being from the UK, when people have linked me builds on the US site when I change it that some of the parts aren't available. This could help with finding parts.

I would like to add update the max amount to 1500USD.
I think I will go with windows 8, haven't decided yet.
Is there a cheaper built, but not loosing to much performance?
After reading several reviews for each part I found this to be a good value for price and performance.

16gbs of ram is overkill, 8gbs will do just fine. other than that looks fine! I might recommend changing from that processor to the AMD FX-8350 it benchmarks better than the one you have in BF4 and is cheaper. The $750 BF4 build in my signature is build around this and will run it great!
 


This; 16GB of RAM might only be needed if you are doing some intense video rendering/editing/some type of processing.
