    Thats an overclockable CPU on a locked motherboard.
    A midrange GPU tied to a monstorus CPU.

    Do you have any room for customisation?

    It's poorly balanced for gaming. What do you want to use it for?

    Gaming and that. Was hoping to leave it around that budget

    Ok, you will do pretty well for about €700.

    Here is a sample of what you might get.
    And when I say I've thrown this together, I really really mean it's thrown together, do not buy anything on this list until I or someone who knows more than me gets a proper look at it.

    EDIT: Thats actually the US version. So I'm not sure it's even valuable info at all.

    I have seen this shop on adverts. AnD it is not the worst all things considered.

    Have done build similar budget (windows from reddit)case, 8gig ram, i5, same ish mobo, hdd, SSD,630w psu, and an r9 280(same as 760) apart from the SSD. No real advantage to self build here.

    Hope info helps some.

    Is it a decent quality PSU? I see a fair few people on adverts selling machines with Alpine/qtec/etc PSU's on power hungry cards, guaranteed disaster. They're grand for low end cards but those '650w' PSUs are really about 250w. On an i7 + GTX760 setup it's looking for trouble.

    I can find out tomorrow and check it up.
