Hi, I've been planning a system build for a little while now and come up with what I think is my best option.
Used for gaming and photoshop - going to get The Witcher 2 and 3 at least and I've got Farcry 3 but it doesn't work on my current PC.

Asus Z97A
Intel 4690K
MSI GTX 970
etc.

Any advice on the specific manufacturer of GPU? Twin Frozr / Windforce?

Still need some help and input on a case and PSU.

For the case I was thinking close to £100 and hoping for something big and a bit different

Along those lines.

PSU I'm not so sure about, but would like to future proof for Overclocking and SLI the GTX970 at some point.

And finally, I have a nice 7.1 surround sound system and heard MoBos now come with sound support. Will that be enough or do I need a soundcard?

Thanks for any help at all
