Hi, I need some advice on this build that I'm building soon. My budget is £850, give or take £50 although I'd prefer to leave some cash for a keyboard, mouse etc. I'll be playing a range of different games, such as Total War, Crysis, Battlefield 3, Civ 5, FSX. I'll probably overclock my CPU in the future, but not any time soon.

To get the computer as quickly as possible I'll be building it without a graphics card first, then upgrading a few months later. So I could wait for the next GTX 700 series since I'm not really in a rush and I will most likely buy my graphics card at the start of Autumn.
I'd like to keep the Fractal Design R4 case because sound is quite important for me, although at the same I want good air flow and cable management but I believe this case has it all. I'd prefer an Nvidia GPU but I can go AMD if it gives incredible boosts to performance.
Thanks a lot to anyone who is willing to help out.
