I already have both the case and hard drive. So I am mostly looking for a motherboard that will fit the Intel core i5 4690k. So that it could be overclocked if needed. But I need the following for about £400 - £450
- Graphics card
- Mother board(overclocking capability)
- the intel core i5 4690k
- SSD drive
- PSU

The case I already have is the NZXT S340.
thank you

Yea.. you wont be getting a 4690K and all that for £450.

Will do just as fine. No SSD as that goes overbudget. Stock cooler will do fine. Can add another 380 in XFire if you wish.
Could have gone with a mATX but then that would be stupid in a ATX case.

If you want a 4690K you'll have to jeopardize a SSD and/or GPU for a decent cooler. Overclocking is expensive compared to a locked CPU and the power you gain from overclocking isn't worth the extra pennies IMO.
