Hi, I'm not new to computing but I have never built my own system before. I'm a fairly heavy gamer, usually I play Dota 2, which is a fairly easy game to run. However now I have steam library filled with games that I am unable to run and some of which I would love to play on. I have a budget of around £700, which I would like to spend on a new PC, I can maybe push it up to £800 but no higher than that! Using overclockers uk could you all build me a system for gaming and send me the parts and specs, whomsoever pc is the best I shall purchase! Would also need a os!
Thank in advance!

Here is the thing I'm on a tablet so pcparrpicker is slow.. but go for the build above me except change the case to a corsair 300r. The 300r is way better and it is easier building in. Also if you want to do crossfire (having two r9 280x) in the future get a 750w pus.

Oops I forgot the reason why get the build over me build. A: the gpu is way better R9 280x beats the gtx 760 by a lot. The R9 280x is like a gtx 770. B: the hyper master evo is epic for oc it way more trusted. C: the 500w corsair doesn't cut it. The corsair is a very bad psu the xfx is the way to go.

I would do this. You could even ditch overclocking ability for a better GPU and get even better game performance. Remember, OP, on high end CPUs like this overclocking is a hobby and it will not really get you any more performance.
