Hi guys,
as an early Christmas gift to myself, I'd like to buy a new gaming PC in the £1000-£1500 price range. Since I am not confident enough to build one myself ( and yea, I already saw the youtube video with the 5yo building one, but what can I say :) ), but, at the same time, I don't want to pay the overpriced pre-built ones, the idea is to yo buy one from a shop that includes the "build it for me" option, such as pc specialist.

Regarding the requirements, I already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, so all I need is the PC itself and a Windows license, and all I'd like to do with it is playing ( Diablo 3, Dota 2, Guild Wars 2... in general, no FPS ), since I already have a working station. On a side note, the build must include a great wifi adapter.

So, the request is, would somebody be kind enough to create for me a build for that price range, that I can re-create on one of those shops?
Thanks in advance :)

PS: since, for my understanding, those games are not that much requiring performance-wise, an added bonus would be having it as silent as possible

Well I couldnt find the Motherboard on any of the sites I buy from but Normally you can get a Wifi adapter card for a PCIe x1 slot that work just fine. Also the H100i is VERY loud when under load so if thats not a problem by all means get it. But other than that the build looks very good and if newegg works that is where I get all my stuff from.

This is my personal build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/MMj7yc and it fits your price range. The 6 core is mostly a future proof. Wifi adapters come cheep so just slap one on. You could run almost anything with max graphics but you may want to get more airflow in it. The Gigabyte 970 is a great card for the price and supports up to four monitors and has 3 display ports, 1 hdmi and two Dvi. The Motherboard and ram some of the newest out but if you can upgrade the motherboard to the more expensive X99 from Asus.

Hi, and thanks for your answer. Following your build, I tried to create something similar on pc specialist:

CPU : Intel Core i7 Six COre Processor i7-5820K (3.3GHz) 15MB Cahce
MotherBoard : Asus Rampage extreme: ATX, HSW-E CPU, USB 3.0 SATA 3GB
Memory: 16GB Crucial DDR4 2133 MHz ( 2 x 8GB )
Graphic Card: 4GB NVidia GeForce GTX 970 - 1DVI, 1 mHDMI, 3mDP
Storage: 250GB Samsung EVO SSD SATA 6GB/s
Storage: 1TB 3.5'' SATA-III 6GB/s HDD 7200RPM 32MB Cahce
Power: Corsair 850W RM Series Modular 80 Plus Gold, Ultra Quiet
Cooling: Corsair H100i Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler
Cooling: 2 CPU Fan
Case: Cooler Master HAF 912
For a grand total of 1664, that is a bit more than I expected, but well ... so, the next 2 questions are:

1) does this build makes sense?
2) am I right supposing that the motherboard includes a WiFi adapter?
3) do you know any other better shop that has cheaper prices? should I consider finding somebody in Lodon to build it for me, and buying the single pieces?
