I have been asked by a friend to help build his son a gaming computer, the initial price he wanted to spend was £650, I have come up with this initial list coming in over budget.
I want to order this fairly soon so I can get it built and sorted it out well in advance of Christmas in case I need to mess around sending any components back.
Monitor + peripherals are not required.
I would prefer to order from Ebuyer.com which is where I have obtained the following prices from.
Intel Core i5 4670K 3.40GHz Socket 1150 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor £174.69

AsRock Z87 EXTREME3 Socket 1150 DVI HDMI D-Sub 8-Channel Audio ATX Motherboard £94.98

Cart total inc vat: £765.31
I'm unsure if I should switch the Extreme3 for the Pro3 and get a cheaper PSU, is it worth making this SLI compatible for future upgrades?
Also he would like to stick with Intel/Nvidia.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, the price cannot go above what it currently is but would be a bonus if there were anything better suited at a lower price.
Thank you.
