Dear god, that build doesn't need to cost that much money. And what kind of ricer case is that? The parts aren't exactly what you should get, but this build (theoretically, assuming it's assembled correctly) will do the job according to what you want, but you'd save some money and get a better selection of parts if you built it on your own ordering each part individually. For example, you shouldn't go with Corsair's CX PSU line, there are plenty of better alternatives. Not to mention, Intellipower HDDs from Western Digital are just meh and slow in my opinion, get a "real" hard drive that has a rated RPM.

Here's a list of parts from scan.co.uk

Total: 1005.04 GBP
Corsair 8GB Ram [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Optical Drive [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Phanteks CPU Cooler [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Fractal Arc Midi r2 Case [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
1TB WD Blue [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
MSI Z87-G43 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
i5 4670k OEM [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
120GB Kingston SSD [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
EVGA 750w PSU [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
XFX R9 290 [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Say what you like about the rest, but most would probably recommend a 650w PSU. I'd rather not suggest one in case you end up running the PSU at full load for long periods of time. Better to have a bit more wattage than the "perfect amount" with PSUs.

Thats a rip off tbh, you can build your own with a better processor, less memory (no one needs 2TB) half the ram (you only need 8gb) even if you are playing games etc and a better looking case that would be half the price. Go for windows 8 as well, its free and the future of computers, windows 7 will be very dated in 1-2 years

And remember you have to buy a monitor/keyboard/mouse after that so overall that would be 1150 pounds or so which is way overpriced

I know you say you cant build one but if you buy the parts (or at least the major ones) someone will build it for 100 pounds or so.
