I have been planning on getting a gaming pc for over 1 year now and have went from to known nothing to knowing a fair bit. I changed the build I am going to get almost everyday. I have finally made my choice, http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/3L9Sw . If there is anything I could improve on I have a max budget of £1500.

Thanks :)

yeah thats decent.
i would also consider dumping the headset. turtle beach aint particularly good as far as build or sound goes.
as you saved a little money on the psu maybe consider putting it into a better set of cans from the likes of stenhieser corsair or logitech (for gaming grade). or audio technica if you want audiophile gear at a reasonable price.

Sapphire Radeon R9 290 4GB Tri-X Video Card is on special at ocuk its a slightly better (quieter) cooler than the gigabyte and not a lot more expensive.

I was going to go intel but for no particular reason, I like matching the brands up so AMD goes with AMD and intel with nvidia
