Hello im fairly new here and i don't know much about computers ill be very if someone can help me out!

I would like the computer to be able to run games smoothly with maxed out graphics.

These are the follow games i would like to play:

- Blade and Soul
- Tera
- Aion
- Dynasty Warriors 8 Xtreme Legends
- Final Fantasy XIII-2
- Continenth of the ninth seal
- Vindictus

I have a budget of around £700 - £850.

If its possible to get the computer on websites such as Amazon or any other website thats from UK i would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time and have a good day!

Lets start with the CPU:
http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-4690K-Processor-BX80646I54690K/dp/B00KPRWB9G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1415743806&sr=8-1&keywords=i5+4690k
Pretty good processor there.
Then a PC case: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Carbide-Windowed-Computer-CC-9011017-WW/dp/B008B6ONXA/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1415744002&sr=1-2&keywords=corsair+pc+case

Then one more item, Lets look at motherboards.
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Z97--DDR3-2600-Motherboards/dp/B00K2MAU5Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1415744189&sr=1-1&keywords=z97+motherboard

And that'll be it for that $250 left over.

I'd just like to chip in that there is more to a monitor than sheer size.
A proper gaming monitor will help the performance of a game as well, the one I suggested is a nice gaming monitor with a good response time so you don't have to turn on v-sync and cap your FPS.

But yes, there's always a better computer you can build for more money, the one I suggested came in on budget, allowed you to pay the taxes and shipping, and also buy a keyboard and mouse/ect if you so choose.

Unless you buy an overclocking CPU (Intel = i5-4###K) it's not necesarry unless where you live is very hot.
The stock CPU fan is fine in most cases.

One monitor means you don't even need a second GTX 970 haha.
