Hi,
I am building my first gaming PC and I was wondering if anyone could make any improvements keeping below £1500.
So far what I have on my list is:

Mother board: Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H - £130
CPU: INTEL Core i5 4670K quod core 3.40GHz Haswell - £155
CPU Cooler: Seidon 240M - £80
RAM: Corsair 16GB 1600MHz (2x8GB) - £118
GPU: Sapphire Vapor-X AMD R9 280X 3GB - £260 -EDIT
PSU: corsair GS 600w atx/eps 80+ bronze - £60
OS Storage: Crucial CT064M4SsD2 64GB SSD - £67
Bulk Storage: WD – 2TB SATA Hard Drive – OEM – Green - £67
OS: Microsoft 8 64 Bit - £75
Monitor: ASUS VE247H 24” LED HD 1080p - £142
Wi-Fi card: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 N900 - £26
Optical drive: LG GH24NS95 - £17
Case- BitFenix Colossus Pc Case Big Tower Venom Black - £140
I know the case is expensive but it looks cool as hell.
Total – 1,356 (Above prices rounded)

Thanks, looking forward to replies

You have ALOT of wasted money and a lower end GPU because of it. This EXPENSIVE computer won't even max all games.

Get 8gb RAM. There is nothing to be gained in gaming from any more than that. Get a cheaper case. Drop the small SSD.

Get an r9 280x with the saved money
