PC for Gaming

I posted once before on this forum but it ended with me not buying a new pc... today however the money is in the bank and I am about an hour or so away from buying a new PC . I have picked out the stock Fusion Bulldozer Z97 Gaming PC" at £899 , then added a few upgrades..

Sharkoon Bulldozer Case in Red (Not the prettiest but I can deal with that for now)
Intel Core i5 4690K Haswell Refresh Processor 3.50 GHz (Overclocked to up to 4.3GHz)
Corsair Hydro H60 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Paste
Asus Z97-A Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
16GB Corsair/Crucial/Samsung PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 Memory (2 x 8GB sticks)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Graphics Card
Seagate 1000GB SSHD Hybrid Drive
Corsair CX 750W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified PSU
Onboard High Definition Audio
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Standard Cable Management
5 Year Warranty with 2 Years Collect and Return (UK only)

Totalling £1092 in VAT then £24.99 delivery

I was hoping I could get some feedback regarding the parts and if anyone thinks maybe I should upgrade one part and downgrade another. One of the main things i was rethinking was the choice of motherboards on offer..

Gigabyte Z97X-SLI Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
Price from: [-£49.00]

Asus Z97-K Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
Price from: [-£29.00]

Asus Z97-A Motherboard - Haswell CPU only

Asus Z97-PRO Motherboard - Haswell CPU only
Price from: [+£50.00]

As you can see i selected the ASUS Z97-A on the advice of a friend. I'm still not so clued up about most of this. However I wasn't sure if maybe it was overdoing it and the stock MB provided, the gigabyte would do almost the same job.
Again any advice on anything would be great. I intend to purchase and Ive never been so excited :) haha

Thanks in advance
Ryan

Hi Jockles,

As the forums are owned by PCSpecialist who sell their own custom build PCs, it's not encouraged to give advice on configurations from other companies.

You'd be better off posting this thread on the Overclockers UK or Tom's Hardware forums etc.

Whatever system you end up with enjoy your new PC!
