Power supply won't be able to hold it, your price point is arround 400 funts or whatever the value is? And do you already have a case? Is it a micro atx one? Please provide more information

Why did you lower your gpu? you are confusing me now, if you already soooo much want a micro atx case go for something from intel, amd just sucks with micro-atx, also the cooler is stupid, here i'll give you a build:

I know i included a z87 motherboard with not unlocked cpu, but it sucks because every h87 or b85 hasn't got SLI support, so you can cheapen the motherboard and buy a AMD card so it could be more expandable in future if you want to add another card.

I think your budget is around 400 pounds? Can you tell what the max is?

I changed some things and included a case since from what i gather you don't have one,


If you do tell that clearly.

The amd r9 270 is normally on par with the gtx 660,but in some games it just is better.Which one you pick is up to you.
For your budget i also would go for the amd fx 6300 as you can see.
I went over 400pounds because you didn't include a case,you always can subtract the amount or edit the parts list to see what it costs without it though this is a nice case for the money.You could even overclock this set-up if necessary.I would put the next psu in if you can afford it,
