A reply would be much appreciated!

I'm confused here. For your CPU, you chose an i5-4430, which is not overclockable - however, with your motherboard, you chose a z97, which has options for overclocking. I would save a few pounds and go the H97 route, rather than spend more and get an unlocked computer (at least until you're more experienced with building them). I don't know too much about your RAM, but I did hear A-Data didn't have the best products for RAM. Besides, you can find cheaper RAM anyways.



Now, if you did want to overclock, I put together another build catered to that sort of thing. It's a bit higher than your budget, but it does allow for you to overclock. I didn't want to bring the graphics card back down to a 270, because the difference in price between the one you had and the 270x I put in wasn't very big.


Good luck!
