Can anyone give me some feedback on this build I've put together for just over £600? Are there any areas where I could spend less with minimal performance implications? Are any parts going to hold the build back? Will it actually work when I put it all together?
From what I understand I will be able to run most modern games on High-Ultra (Depending on the game) with 40+ FPS at 1080p with this build. Is that a reasonable expectation? I am also planning on upgrading in the future, so would this build allow for me to install a better GPU etc. easily (the likes of the GTX 970)? I'm not planning on overclocking at this point in time although I may well do in the future when I have done more research. Will the stock fan be OK without over clocking and will I be able to install a better fan if I do decide to take that route?
