So I am wanting to build a gaming PC instead of buying a ps4.
Im looking to run all the games a ps4 could run with no problem, im wanting it
to handle my games at high settings(better than the ps4)

These are my parts:

CPU - AMD fx 8350.
GPU - Sapphire dual-x r9 270x OC 2GB.
Motherboard - Asus Crosshair V formulaZ.
RAM - HyperX 8GB Kingston ram 1600MHz.
HDD - 1TB Western Digital Caviar blue
PSU - Corsair RM650 650w fully modular
Case - Corsair Graphite series 760T Windowed
CPU Cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo 120mm

So is this a good build? Will this be able to run upcoming titles? & what fps & settings will
I be looking at on the games I run.

If you could help me out that would be great thanks & if you have any tips or ssuggestion's pls say cheers

What is your budget and currency? Do you need an OS, monitor, keyboard and/or mouse? Will you be overclocking?

So you have a budget of £800-£950, don't need an OS or monitor. Would you like an overclockable CPU? I don't understand, do you need a kb and mouse or not?

This would be a good build;

You don't even need a 650W PSU but it means you can upgrade mobo in the future and add a second 970 with no problems. If you want the option to overclock , you can spend an extra £50 or so for overclockable components which means if you ever do decide to overclock, you won't have to change your motherboard and CPU.
