Hi all.
After years of laptops and consoles, I need a desktop PC, for gaming, streaming and browsing. Self builds seem better value for money and you know exactly whats inside. Looking forward to my fist build, but very much a novice so being very cautious.
After research, I've come up with the following list, hoping to start buying parts tomorrow but would appreciate suggestions/approvals for my peace of mind first.
CPU: i5 4670k 3.4 GHz £172

GPU:MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr OC 2GB £190

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 £79

Hard drive: Seagate Baracuda 1TB £45

RAM:RAM: Patriot Viper 3 8GB (2X4GB) 1600Mhz C9 £60

PSU: Corsair CXM 600W £60

Optical drive: Samsung 24x £13

Keyboard/mouse: Gigabyte KM5300 £10

Total £674
If all goes well, I do intend to overclock in the future (6 months timeish) and will purchase an afetermarket cooler when the time comes. I will probably also put in a 120GB SSD for booting at that stage.
I also need a monitor and am undecided between
Iiyama E2282HS-GB1 22" LED VGA DVI HDMI Monitor for £107
http://www.ebuyer.com/484437-iiyama-e2282hs-gb1-22-led-vga-dvi-hdmi-monitor-e2282hs-gb1
and Asus VE228HR 21.5" LED LCD HDMI Monitor for £112
http://www.ebuyer.com/393202-asus-ve228hr-21-5-led-lcd-hdmi-monitor-ve228hr
Thanks in advance for any advice.
PS I live in the UK and I do need an OS.
