With the year coming to an end, and next year looking very good for PC gaming, I decided it's time to just go all the way. My current PC, 3570k, GTX 660, I really can't complain. It's great. But I want a bigger beast, that will run anything at 60 fps at 1080p. and I believe this is it.

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£223.99 @ Aria PC)
Motherboard: ASRock H81M-HDS Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£35.05 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory (£60.77 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive (£59.99 @ Novatech)
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card (£251.72 @ Scan.co.uk)
Power Supply: Be Quiet 500W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply (£58.98 @ Ebuyer)
Total: £690.50

I have no interest in overclock, I mean right now with games it don't help all that much anyway when your already at 60 fps. And by the time it does become helpful, I'm sure the hyperthreading with this CPU will do the job just fine. As you can see I have yet to pick a case. I want something very small and clean looking you know. I'm actually still looking. But do you guys think this looks good? My budget is about £750. (After I sell the PC I have now and add a bit extra).

Yeah I was wondering about the mobo. You sure about PSU though? on the site it says it would use about 403W, and that psu is gold+

Correct me if Im wrong but 500w seems a bit on the low side as not only your gpu consumes energy. Also if you plan to upgrade your gpu in the feature you're going to need a better psu anyways. Take a look at the XFX 550W psu as that's a good one, or any other 600w that's bronze certified.
