Hey, I have chose all of my componets except the power supply as I have tried many types of calulators and Im getting results from 400 watts to 800 watts!
I was wondering if all of the componets will work well and if I should change anything? My budget is £1000 I am able to over budget by £100! Any help will be awesome! Thank you :) :)

The componets I have chosen are:

CPU - Intel i7 4790K

CPU Cooler - Coolermaster hyper 212 EVO

Graphics Card - Zotac GeForce GTX 780 Ti

Motherboard - Asus Z97 Pro WiFi

RAM - Corsair Vengence low profile white 2x4GB 1.35 Volts 1600MHz

Hard Drive - Western Digital 1TB Green

Fans - Aerocool shark evil black edition 120mm x 2 and 140mm x 4

Case - Coolermaster cm 693 (Already have the case! Not included in the £1000 budget)

All your parts look fine. The Hyper 212 evo is a great choice!

For a power supply, really anything within the reputable brand bracket goes. You're gonna be looking at around a 350W-400W draw, so a 500W-750W would be great so you have some overclocking and SLI headroom.

Perhaps...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171093 (A bit newer, and is backed by CM)

Anything by Corsair, XFX, EVGA, Fractal Design, Cooler Master, and Seasonic is good (From my experience). However, I do have to warn against the RM series by Corsair, as there are rumors floating around about cheap capacitors.

I didn't realise that I did, thank you for changing it! I've also put two of the same questions up, I'm new to this site and got a bit confused with how to use it

I have the same question. Unless you're getting an extraordinarily good deal on the GTX 780 Ti, a GTX 970 is probably a better choice. Plus it draws less power than a 780Ti which should allow you to get a less expensive PSU.

I'd highly suggest you try to fit an SSD into your build as your OS drive, even if you don't end up putting any/all games on it. It will really improve the "feel" of the computer outside of games - responsiveness, boot times, loading times, etc. If you need to cut costs somewhere in your budget I'd start with dropping the i7 4790K down to a Haswell i5 quad. Since I'm not sure what you're pricing looks like over there I hesitate to recommend a specific model, but for most games the Hyper Threading on the i7 doesn't improve fps, yet usually adds a pretty penny to system cost.

On the other hand if you're doing heavy Photoshop or video encoding work, the Hyperthreading should help significantly.
