So I need a gaming pc, I will be over clocking and I will not be recording (well atleast for now). I will be playing games such as battlefield 4, skyrim, GTA 5 etc. I want to be able to run on medium/high settings on a stable 40+ FPS. Also I would love to able to play whilst on skype at low/medium settings at a stable 30+ FPS. My budget is £950. I do not need a monitor, however I do need a keyboard, mouse, very cheap speakers, and an OS.
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/32Tvw <--- This is what I have so far, please suggest improvements if necessary. Also, it would be great if you could comment on how fast it would run battlefield 4 (roughly) with and without skype. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.:)
 
Looks good, but I would change CPU cooler to a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo instead.
Also RAM, you can get much higher speeds for roughly the same amount. Kingston HyperX Beast / G.Skill 2400MHz is a good choice.
SeaSonic S12II 620/Corsair CX600M would also be a PSU I would choose instead, but the one you have is also good quality.
 
Looks like a good build. Same case as mine too :D.

Awesome case.

I can record battlefield 4 at 60fps on ultra settings with my card. Mine and yours are very similar performance wise so id expect the same from yours.

Id go for a better cooler though, especially if you want to overclock. Even my h100i(custom) will get as hot as 70c on prime 95 max of around 60c playing bf4 etc, this is at 4.5ghz. So id say get a better cooler or you wouldnt be able to overclock very much. You can pick up a h100i for around £70-80 so its well worth the extra cost. Plus it looks pretty awesome. Or something air cooled like a noctua dh14 or nzxt havik (not much temp wise between the two). The dh14 looks terrible though unless you replace the fans.

Looking good and I know the feeling about exams... GCSEs? If so, I'm in the same boat. ;)
