This is my gaming PC build. I have one question though, If I order with a wireless card, will I also have access to a wired LAN port for an ethernet cable or not?

Yes. What is your budget? are you planning to overclock your cpu?

Well £1000 preferably as this one is already over by like £50 haha. Yeah I think I may do in the future, which is why I bought the 'K' version CPU (that means it can be overclocked right? and the bigger corsair cooler.

Thanks for the quick reply btw

The h40 is not big, smaller than the h80i and h100i. For £1000 you could get a GTX 770 without the option to overclock which is not needed for gaming.

Sorry by bigger I meant bigger than a stock cooler! Which CPU would you suggest instead? I play some CPU intensive games like DayZ, Arma 2, Total war's and Sim city! I would really like a GTX770 though :)

I think that the i5 (stock clock speed)+ gtx 770 should offer better performance for the games you mentioned compare to the spec you posted.

Yeah but my spec (altered with your suggestions) I posted with the locked CPU and a GTX 770 comes out at £1,159 or am I being daft? I get the feeling I am :p The first build I posted was about £1050 - ish
