STILL NOT SETTLED ON MOTHERBOARD OR CASE ? WHAT ONES WOULD BE GOOD FOR THIS BUILD ?

AND ALSO IS THERE A WAY I COULD MINIMISE THE COST OF THIS BUILD ? MY BUDGET IS 600

AS IT STANDS THIS BUILD WOULD COST £572.58 WITHOUT CASE AND MOTHERBOARD....IS THERE A WAY TO BRING COST DOWN BUT NOT LOOSE PERFORMANCE ?

ALSO OUT OF 10 THE BUILD IVE GOT HERE WHAT WOULD YOU RATE IT AS WHAT I AM TRYING TO GET OUT OF IT ALSO IF THERE IS ANY COMPONENTS YOU THINK WOULD SUIT BETTER ETC PLEASE LET ME KNOW I AM GOING TO TRY BUILD AFTER CHRISMAS DAY.

( LOOKING TO BUILD A PC THAT CAN HANDLE LATEST GAMES ON HIGH GRAPHICS AND PLAY GTA V WHEN IT IS RELEASED , ALSO HANDLE MODS , BE ABLE TO DO NORMAL FUNCTIONING DESKTOP THINGS LIKE BROWSE INTERNET ETC, EASILY UPGRADABLE IN THE FUTURE AND NOT GET BOTTLENECKED , OVERHEAT , BE NOISEY ? ,AN ALSO BE FUTURE PROOF FOR A GOOD WHILE ?

THANKS GUYS I KEEP ASKING THESE SORTS OF QUESTIONS BECAUSE IM NEW TO THIS BUT FINALLY GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO DOING THIS !

YOUR HELPS GREATLY APPRECIATED

You could go for a lower end i5 CPU and an H97 or H87 mobo, but the mail culprit here is the CPU. There`s nothing that can give you the same performance for a lower price, so you either lower the performance, or pay more.

Also, the CX PSU is not really recommended. Check for something from Seasonic, XFX, Antec, Silverstone, EVGA or even Corsair, just not the CX/CS/Builder series.
WHY ARE WE CAPPING, PLEASE LETS NOT USE CAPS.


Anyway, you can drop the overclocking option by going for an I5 4460 and an H97 chipset motherboard like the Asrock H97 Anniversary.

Aslo the PSU only needs to be around 500W, but get a quality unit, CX PSUs are not really that good.
Cheap but decent cases include the 200R Corsair.
