An i5 will be ok for just gaming but if you need to grab the i7 build Zayev suggested. Included an IPS 1440p monnitor for a good price. 390 is a tad bit better than the 970 but if you want a 970 switch it out. If you need to save some money switch out the Kraken for an air cooler.

Hold up. What? You already have a rig?

Get this;

Or you can get a 6700k, or Skylake Xeon instead(E3-1230 V5 would do fine if you're not overclocking). Use your 770 and the HDD you already have. Sell your current components and then upgrade your GPU to something like a 980Ti, or a 970/390 would be fine if you can't afford a 980Ti.

What I would get. You can drop the cooler if you want to save a bit of money, and you can keep the current HDD you have. SLI support, bootiful monitor.

Guys I'm going to sell my current PC and put the money towards the new one. Not sure how much I would get for it but the monitor can come on a later day. I do like the sound of a 980ti tbf but is it worth the money or should I get a the 970 that many of you suggested.

I was thinking leaving the monitor out for now and getting it like a month after the build.
I also was thinking about the MSI 980ti 6gb with the build maybe?
I added it to both of your builds and they come to roughly the same price of about 1200-1300GBP.
Do you think I should get the 980ti?
Also both of you listed a different CPU, in your opinions what one would be best? I do not wish to over clock as I don't know much about it lol.

If you don't want to overclock then the Xeon would be the far better choice.

If you can fit a 980 Ti into the budget without changing anything else, they by all means get one. It is better than the 970 and worth the difference in price. Just note that getting a 750W PSU will be a waste as it is plenty for one card, but not enough for 2.

Thanks for the reply. I will not be getting a second card any time soon so the 750w would be fine or should I get the EVAG 850w version?

If you don't plan on getting a second card then I would just get an EVGA 650W G2 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

So as of now this is the current build: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
I would like a cheap optical drive too, is there any you can recommend?
Also I will keep my HDD and just buy a 2TB when I get my monitor.

Also I can't find a review or a video on that CPU linked in the build. Do you or can you like me a video about that CPU. Thanks.
