How good is this £1500 Gaming PC? Anything missing? I'm a starter to this stuff.

I'd use a build like this, the case you chose said with the 970s you'll lose some drive bays. I chose a mobo with built in wifi ac so you don't need that adapter, also faster RAM. Plus a 120GB of Samsung 840 evo to load faster, a better and cheaper HDD, you can always add more later. I upgraded the cpu a bit, got you a better quality PSU from evga supernova series, mostly with positive reviews and it is cheap. If you don't want to go over $1500, then I'd say drop a 970 for now and get it later. For 1080p gaming and a bit of other stuff you should be able to handle for now, you're only $100 short from a 2nd one anyways. :)

I would recommend getting faster RAM, like this one:

Possibly you might want a SSD or a faster HDD. They will have smaller capacities though... Also, I just recommend these, if you need more space, keep your 4TB hard drive. I'm not sure if your build supports multiple drives, you could get an SSD and a HDD like the example below:

SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB WD20EZRX (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147247)
2TB HDD options:
Western Digital: Western Digital WD Green (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236404)

Toshiba: TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822149407)

Seagate: Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148834)


This does add $30 to your original price. Also, I am in the U.S so I'm not sure if these items are available in the U.K.
