I'm building a PC for the first time as a summer project, and I'm trying to build a gaming PC. The absolute maximum for my budget is £1000, so ideally I'm trying to get something for around £800. I have picked some parts, but would like some advice as to whether or not this build is any good or if there are any incompatibilities between components.
Processor: Intel i5-4690K
Motherboard: Asus Z97-K Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX
Memory: Corsair XMS3 DDR3 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB
SSD: Samsung 850 Pro SSD
Graphics card: msi GeForce GTX 970
Power supply: Corsair VS550
Case: Corsair 300R
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
I will also be buying Windows 8.1 for my OS. I already have a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
I am planning on building this because I need something a little better than my 3 year old laptop for playing games. Currently I play Skyrim, Just Cause 2, TF2 and Minecraft, but I would like to be able to play most games at high settings.
What do you think? Thanks in advance for any advice.
