That's not even remotely similar. An AIO and then tubing and coolant, okay? Waste of money on tubing and coolant but w/e. 2x2GB RAM? Ew. Where are you buying this from?

Well, since this is the PC Building section, I assume you want to Build your PC.
Im also going to assume your budget is around £900 since that's around what you wanted in the OP

1TB Green - For a bit of silence. Its not going to be your main drive anyway so speed doesnt matter
120GB SSD - Boot drive. Will speed up OS loads and other stuff like that up nicely.
Monitor - Many users on here will tell you that that monitor is good. I agree.
4690K - Way overkill but gives you headroom in the future. If you wanted to overclock, you can do, if you wanted to play more harder to run games, you can do.
285 - Nice GPU for your needs. Can be upgraded later if you wanted to play more harder to run games
Everything else is self explanatory.
You can add a cooler if you wish or change out the SSD for a bigger one or do whatever. You have money left over to change it around a bit.

The coolant and tubes are useless with an AIO. You're going to have to spend a lot more for a custom loop, and with a locked i5, it's pointless, as is an AIO. Stock cooler is more than fine for a locked i5. Don't waste money on useless parts instead of better components. Get what I suggested from Scan for the most performance.

Right fam. Listen up. The original build you asked about has no PSU. Any liquid cooler is a waste. You're not going to benefit from one, so it'd be a waste of money. That BenQ monitor is poo. AM3+ is a dead socket, so an AMD FX series CPU would be a bad idea. Not only will an Intel counterpart out-perform it, but the Intel counterpart will have more/better upgrade options. Whether you want an AMD CPU with lots of GHz is moot. GHz means nothing when the chips use different architectures. What I suggested is your best option for the most performance. Xiggy's is a good rig for looks, and will still max 1080p ezpz.

Homie. You're not listening. You won't be doing any overclocking on that motherboard. You have no HDD. Case and PSU are shit. The custom loop is pointless, I'm willing to bet you don't even know how to install it.

Case - poo.
B85 with a unlocked CPU is a waste.
Either go with Xiggy's rig or sanctyy's rig
