Hey, Im looking for advice on a new PC I am planning on building, I need it to be £700 without the operating system (I can purchase this myself from other sites), I also have peripherals so just the components really. I've seen on other sites that with all the new architecture on the Horizon I should wait, but any build which I could potentially modify in the future would be nice.

Thanks in advance.
 
Solution
I think this would be very near optimum..

The SLI-capable Asrock Extreme3 ranked 58 would be nearly impossible to beat vis-a-vis price/performance..

Solution
Overclockable i5 setup. Add a GTX 1070 when released. Will be higher than 700 total, but worth it.
