The pc i have seen is as follows
i5 4670k
asus h81m-plus
4gb drr3 1600
500gb hd
dvd rw

this is pre-built for £325 ive tried to see if it is cheaper to build it myself but there is nothing in it so going for the pre-built and going to put a r9 280x with it an ssd and 4gb more memory at some point its going to be for 1080p gaming will i be getting a solid 60fps ultra/very high with all games?
I also have a ps4 will this out perform it nd play next gen multi platform games at the best settings when more arrive.

hoping to not have to upgrade for 2-3 years (probs dont mind getting a new gpu in a year)

any thoughts on the pc and something that may not be very good with it or is it possible to build better for the same budget of 330 without g/card

thanks for any help.
 
Firstly, there's zero point in getting an overclockable CPU if it's going in an H81 board.

Secondly, prebuilts tend to have absolutely crap PSUs.

Thirdly, you'll want a GPU to game on. Gaming performance will depend greatly on that.

I'll put together a build.
 
Costs slightly more than the prebuilt, but is better in almost every way:

+1; this does not have a GPU but since you're getting a 280x it won't matter.
