Just add a case

Bigger faster ssd for boot and then faster hard disk for storage (I'd avoid the red branded drives are they're more targeted to NAS devices I believe and have odd speeds) oh and modular power supply.
Woops changed the 270 for 280x


Food for thought, I'm sure others will be along to advise you further, I just think a lot more can be done with the budget.

• Extra 1TB of hard drive space for £7 more

• Faster SSD

• Better power supply...If you only intend running one card then you don't really need 750W

• Faster Ram

You're best off waiting for the R290 to come out, it seems like it's going to be faster than the 780 for less money.

I wish people would stop calling their computers, "rigs".

 

[Doomedspeed]

Is this just a gaming rig or is it used for any other activity?

Are you looking at potentally going SLI in the future?

Overclocking?

 

[Blindeagle]

Ye mainly gaming but i will be doing some rendering stuff on it thats why i asked for the i7 and ye i might sli in the future thats why i put down the 750w psu . and overclocking maybe in the future when i need to ye

 

[Blindeagle]

But ye maybe the i5 4670k is better not really sure
