Hi,

I have been playing games a lot recently and have been looking to invest my money in a good/worth the price custom built pc as it seems to be the thing to do and seems fun. Also this means the possibility of customization and removal of certain parts in the future. I have 1,000euro/ $1,376/827pounds to spend, no more than that. Not to forget, I do little work, only microsoft word .etc. I will also be watching bluray films, at the moment I have a DVD drive to use and plan to buy a bluray drive in the future. At the moment I play Rust, DayZ, Metro, Bioshock, Borderlands, Skyrim and a whole list of similar games quite similar. I will also be looking to keeping this for 2 years or more and be playing games such as Titanfall and possibly other mainstream games. In conclusion, I have put these parts together:

NOTE: The ram is low profile! I could not find it on PCPartsPicker but I will be buying the same ram but low profile.

Just checking whether this build is the best I can get with my money, and is suitable for me! :) If you look at this and think yes just write down below ''Go for it!'' and that will be helpful! Thank you very much.

2 Things I would change:

Get 2 ram sticks, preferable in a set so a 2x4gb ram set rather than 1x8gb. This will allow you to run the ram in dual channel which is roughly a 13-15% performance increase.

If you can fit it in your budget, try to go for the i5 4670

I had this on amazon, I think it's 2x4gb, I made a mistake putting 1x8gb in the list :/

Yup that will work. Also you may want to double check that the 780ti will fit into that case. PC partpicker notes that you may need to remove some drive bays to fit it but it is good to double check before you buy. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

You also may want to get a H87 motherboard since that would be more upgradeable in the future.

Yep already checked the 780ti can fit, here's a video:

I'll look into the motherboard, I'll need one with 3 sata ports!
