Ok thank you, I take it 60-70 fps would be ok no lagging? As I am currently playing with an i5 intergrated HD4000 graphics LAPTOP, can I hope for a big improvement for the £1500 price tag?

You will notice a major jump in preformance. This setup should be able to play all those games with 60+ fps with ultra settings. If you are lagging it will be because of your internet, but your FPS should stay nearly constant 60+fps all the time.

As you can see a 780 gets you 60fps on 1080p.

I'm not sure how much more spending room you have but, if it's just for gaming you could reduce the CPU to an i5-4690k (Will preform almost identical to the 4790k in games), and with the extra money you saved you could upgrade the 780 to a 780 ti. Looking at the benchmarks again, that is a 12FPS increase, which is nice. If this build is for gaming and any combo of video editing/rendering/streaming/recording then I would stick with the 4790k, but if it's only for hardcore gaming and web browsing, then go with the i5 4690k.

Well I save £50 on the Mobo+ CPU as they come as a bundle, the 780ti I think was like £175 more.. Im kinda stuck at this budget now, I have also got a gmaing chair, a K40 keyboard a Headset + razor imperator mouse in my basket the total is scary.

Just for shits and giggles, switch out the 4790k with the i5 4690k and either keep the same motherboard or replace it with something else you want. How much do you save, £50? Do you have access to this bundle in your country?

A slight downgrade from the Corsair H60, but with this combo you might be close to the £175 mark?

it comes up as $$$ so i presume not, this is the bundle

i thnik for the price that is fair, but i do see your point, get a worse CPU and invest in the 780ti, I was hoping the &80 would be ok, as when I have saved up enough pennies, I would be able to go Sli and not have to break the bank to get another 780Ti it did cross my mind, So I went for a better CPU + Board which I hopefully wont have to upgrade any time soon, and I can always Add a card if the system starts to lack maybe
 
You can stick to your setup like it is,dont worry about it.It can handle any game you throw at it at high-ultra settings at 60 FPS.
Make sure to choose a solution to help other people when searching for these types of questions. :)

What about these bundles?

Watercooling, ram, motherboard, CPU all in one bundle, shit I wish I lived in your country haha.

Bottom line though, your current setup can handle pretty much everything you throw at it. The only reason to get one of these above bundles is so you can get a better GPU which means better FPS in games. That being said, most people will tell you an i5 is better for gaming only because you can put the money you saved towards a better GPU, which is what really matters in games. If you want an i7 then stick with what you got, it's a great setup. If you want increased FPS then go with an i5-4690k bundle and a 780 ti.
