Hey guys, can you tell me how good this pc is, and can you recommend any other parts, while staying within this budget? Thanks.
Cpu: Intel Core i5 i5-4690K 3.5GHz
Mobo: Msi z97 Pc mate
Graphics card: Sapphire R9 270X 4GB OR Sapphire AMD Radeon Vapor-X R9 280X Tri-X 3gb
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB)
Hard drive: WD 1TB 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive
Optical drive: samsung sata 1.5

Will this case be good enough? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00JKW3FXI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

Total cost is about £650 (i am buying from amazon uk as i live in Ireland) Is there any way to reduce this, while maintaining the same performance or improving performance?
Also, what power supply unit should i use?

I dont plan to overclock at the moment, but may do so in the future as im new to gming pcs.

the case looks big enough, it seems to be of a reasonable quality. For 1080P I would get the R9 280 non X as it too has 3 GB of RAM but is less than a 280X which is more powerful but not really needed for 1080P also you an save around $40 and get 8 GB of RAM instead of 16, as no games i know of need more than 8 to run. a friend of mine can host a minecraft server and play dota 2 on 8Gb of RAM at the same time with no issues. every thing else looks good, I would get a 600 watt bronze rated power supply like these.

Depends what you want at 1080p. I like to keep games over 60fps, if your happy to turn the settings down then the 280X is fine but if you want the settings up drop to 8gb ram and get a better gpu. I have a GTX 780 which is more powerful than the 280X and have to turn back the settings if I want to maintain a minimum of 60fps

The motherboard is very good for people on a budget like you. It's a z97 platform which means you can overclock whenever you want. As for the games you mentioned, you will be playing those games at highest or close to highest settings with 60fps except CS GO which will go much higher than 60fps.

Not worth it going 1440p as you will need to lower the quality of some components to be able to get a 1440p monitor and a better gpu.

4670k OC'd to 4.2ghz but this never goes over 75% usage. My 780 is also OC'd to 1054mhz. Its actually normal on the latest games according to the benchmarks. My other issue is VRAM, Advanced Warefare and GTA V both use more than 3gb even at 1080p if you turn the settings up to near max.
