Hey, I require a bit of help from those tech masters; I am planning to build a PC for the CORE reason of Gaming - I don't think I will do much other than that, so I would love this pc to be built for gaming; I would love your help to say what I should get, thank you so much.

FORM:

What is this computer going to be used for?
This Computer is used for Gaming
What is your budget?
£800 - £825 ($1287.04 - $1327.26)
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
I live in the UK, London, and I haven't really even heard of a Microcenter, so I would put this as a no.
What is included in the budget?
The Operating System (Windows 8)
Will you be overclocking?
I wouldn't think so.
Will you be reusing any parts?
I wouldn't think so again, I don't have any spare parts.
What OS do you want?
I have one.
Any specific case preferences?
Um, I am not too strict regarding this, but anything that would seem gaming would be great, again, I don't mind.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
I guess a WIFI (if it doesn't come with it) and possibly 1TB+ of hard drive and for this PC to work great with games (ESPECIALLY GTA V when it comes to pc)

Hey and thank you for the comment, however apologies if I had not mentioned above, but I also require a great monitor(s) in the build, thank you.

Edit: Are you positive those computers are the best for this? If anybody has any other suggestions and ideas they like to put in, I would love to hear 'em.

Randomness's build has a bit worse CPU and case to make room for an SSD, but an SSD is very optional. As for the GPU, the 290 performs about the same as the 970, but the 970 sometimes performs better with lower temperatures and TDP (mostly preference).
