Hello, I am looking to purchase a Gaming PC within the next few months. I am looking for some concepts because I am very new to computers and I want everything to be compatible etc. I am looking to purchase one in the £650 - £750 price range, hopefully it will be able to run everything maxed out at ultra? Preferably Intel processor and an Nvidia video card. Thanks in advance!

There is no need to include a Keyboard, Mouse or Monitor in the build. I also do not plan on overclocking! :)

We all seem to be thinking along the same lines, which is good.

i5-4xxx cpu
h97 motherboard
(no aftermarket cpu cooler needed if you aren't overclocking)
120gb SSD (samsung evo is the best but the mx100 is also awesome btw)
GTX 770
High quality PSU from Antec or XFX
As for the case, well pick one you like the look of!

What size case will I need? Also, will it need a lot of space on the inside?

A mid tower will be fine, full atx towers are HUGE.

A good quality tower will have:
usb3 on the front
good airflow
good cable management
good sound management
160mm+ cooler clearance
330mm+ graphics card clearance

If you see one that you think looks nice share it and we can advise you on it :)
