Im wanting the best gaming PC for under £650 that will last and not need updating in the next couple of years beyond adding another graphics card. im open to suggestions where im wasting money or there is a better config available. My main question is over the motherboard as i dont know if its worth it if im using the i7 2600k and what would be a reliable alternative?? any improvements to help out a clueless guy?
Thanks to any help :)
 
If this is a gaming PC, you are going to want a less strong CPU and a more strong CPU. A 2600K is going to give you no advantage in gaming over an i5.

You can get the i5-3570K with a CPU cooler, and the money saved, you can get a higher end GPU.

My reasoning for the i7 is that i do a fair bit of modelling as part of my work and i also wanted a processor that shall last and not need upgrading for as long as possible as well as being good for games :) i probably should have explained that at the start so my bad sorry :) im just really questionning my choice of motherboard, graphics card and power supply as i dont know whats best or worth it and reliable :) and Mmatuu i already have watched all the new egg ones haha :) after all the stories ive heard from friends of how easy it is to mess it up im determined not to break anything :')
