So I have a budget of about £600 theres only really I few specifics I have
Specifics:
I want an i7, Nvidia graphics card and a Fractal Design Define R5 White Mid Tower

Besides this do what you will, I do not need any peripherals, If you build me something under my budget and its good don't worry its not a specific top price just a max (I can go a little over) I say under doesnt matter cause I can afford to upgrade over time!
(The reason I said i7 was because I plan to game and do graphics work and someone once told me i7 were better for this, If you want to put in an i5 or xeon please feel free to do so)

And yes I am aware that I've had 3 build requests now and still no PC

Another option with more graphical power and a bit more expensive.

Gold rated PSU. Define S is pretty much Define R5. i5 will be absolutely fine. Nicely colour matched.

and either get this GPU;

The 290 will be about £25 over budget, up to you if it's worth it. 960 is poo tho. Either way, add an SSD when you can.

Take the 290 best bang for your buck card. I mean 25 more that's awesome.

280 performs on par for lower cost than 960. 280x out-performs 960 for a little bit less. 285 also out-performs 960, and is more efficient than the 280x. 285 and 960 are both about as efficient as each other. Z87 board? Ew. Grab a Z97 board. Less hassle, bit better, same cost. Single channel RAM? Ew. Over-paying about £20-£25 for that RAM, huge waste of money. Get the Define S over the R4, Define S is newer and a little better than R4 for same cost.

I think I sent the wrong picture cause my fiend told me to switch out to z97 last night
