I am looking to build a new gaming computer, and I have set aside a budget of £750. I need just the actual computer as I already have all peripherals/monitors. I am wanting to run games like Battlefield 4 on ultra settings, and would ideally like to have the ability to upgrade at a later stage, for example adding another graphics card/ new harddrives/ more ram. I plan to overclock so please take power and cooling into consideration. Things I don't need: Optical Drive, Operating system Things I need: Gigabit ethernet port, multiple monitor support, SSD for OS. I'm not fussed about the looks of the case, a simple black box will suffice is necessary. Preferably have an intel i7 if affordable (3rd gen or 4th) - Thanks in advance.
£750 gaming build please advice

An Intel Core i7 whilst gaming is no better than a Core i5. Trust me, it's a minute improvement going from a Core i5 to a Core i7, unless you're editing, then there's a serious performance increase in rendering. Here is a build for you -

It's in a black and red theme inside and this Core i5 will stand up to overclocking with the cooler used on this build. Enjoy.
