Hi, I'm looking for a high end gaming pc with a max budget of £1200. I'm relatively new to gaming computers so any advice would be great. I will be looking to play games like Arma 3, DayZ, Skyrim, Racing games and a few FPS on it. I have been looking around online and this seems to be the best deal I have come across:

Also I was going to get a Samsung Evo 250gb SSD and put windows 8 on it, which would bring the total price to around £1150

Any thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi thanks for your replies, I can get the i5 4690k as you suggested for £70 cheaper, do you believe this is best? or for £70 more is the the 4790k worth it long term? Also are there any reasons why the current motherboard isn't sufficient? what motherboard would you recommend and what benefits would it have? Thanks
 


You are building this yourself right? And yes, the i5 is better, for 70 pounds more, get the asus maximus VII ranger or the asus sabertooth mk2
