£800 new gaming rig

[supermole]

Hello I've been looking to build a new gaming rig for a while and I was wondering if anyone could help me as I've been out of the hardware loop for a while. Im looking to build it from a budget of around £750-£800 and will not need any peripherals. I'll be using it for gaming mostly.

Also yami you lost the game.

Are you looking to overclock? The new Intel CPUs are really decent it at it, but you need a premium CPU and premium motherboard to overclock them (adds about £40-50 to the price, then another, say, £30 for a decent cooler).

You say you don't need any peripherals, does this include monitors?

Also, when are you planning on buying it?

I'm just putting together a few builds.

I don't need a new monitor and i don't mind either way on the overclocking

Went for 8GB since the price of RAM dropped amazingly in the past couple months.

Any questions? Remember that I can help you put it together and OC it, if you need/want. (for other readers, note that we know each other )

Seeing as intel dropped the ball with the motherboards could you please do me another build intel or amd i don't mind.

If you're only going to use the one HDD, which I imagine is true for you, then you should probably just get this build.

A great bundle that you should probably go for.
