I'm looking to upgrade my build for Fallout 4 / Deus Ex Makind Divided / Killing Floor 2 on medium to medium-high at 1080p.

I'm already set on all the other stuff (I have a 212 Evo, Corsair GS 600w PSU and a Corsair 500r case, among all the other hard drives and stuff).

I just need to upgrade the motherboard, CPU, RAM and graphics card. I did a build which consisted of a 6600k, Asus motherboard, 16GB RAM and a 390, but that comes in at around £650.

I'm not a graphics whore. All I want is to be able to play the games mentioned at 60fps at 1080p comfortably. I don't need (or plan to) 4k at ultra settings, so I'm wondering if maybe there's another configuration which may be able to save me some money to bring the upgrade to around £500 or under while still being able to play those games and have it last for a decent few years to come?
 
$750? For those 4 Parts?

Total: $690


If you want to save, you can replace the GTX 970 with GTX 960 (if you are saying you only want med, med-high settings for your games), I really don't like AMD cards because of their driver issues.

Also, if you are not an overclocker, get a cheap MSI E34 LGA 1150 mobo for $50 + i5-4460 for $180.

Cheers :)
