I am going to make my first gaming computer build. My budget is £700 so I am a little over budget. Will this build play max settings on 1080p over 60fps on the latest games? Any suggestions on the build would be great, thanks.

It will play at 1080p, your cpu is great, your 760 might cause some limitations on achieving a constant 60 fps on the latest games at max settings. (You might have to tweak AA etc.) But it looks like a solid build.

I would love to tell you come down to 4 GB but it seems like newer games are setting for best perfomance at 6-8 GB of Ram. Otherwise great build.
