Title pretty much says it all build 1 or 2 and any improvements.

Build 1: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Build 2: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

So if you see any issues with these please let me know and if there could be any improvements also let me know.

I'm in the UK

If you aren't going to overclock, and you won't be since you aren't getting the 'K' version of that CPU, then the first one will be the best.

However, I would still switch a few things around in that build.

What does K do?
And what would you switch?

The "k" versions of CPU's are unlocked, meaning you can overclock them. If you get a "K" model you need a Z87 motherboard, which allows you to overclock better.

So, you either get a K model and a Z87 motherboard, or a locked CPU (e.g i7 4770) and go with a B85 motherboard, which doesn't allow you to OC.

I wouldn't get either.

That is where my money would be.

Around the same price bracket. What is your exact budget and I'll tone it down/up...

And what would you switch?

The 'k' allows you to over-clock the CPU so you can get better performance with the chip.

I would change the:

  • GPU
  • Case
  • PSU

And if you're just gaming, then an i5 will fit the build very well.

My budget is 1000 but I might be able to buff it up to 1300

Then what I suggested will blow the top 2 out of this solar system. 780 is probably the best GPU on the market as of today (Consumer grade) and the 4670K overclocks like a beast.
