Looking to build a new PC and come up with this config. Will be used mainly for web development such as PHP, mysql and some graphics work with Photoshop, will also do some gaming on it.

Budget is around £1500 max. Also looking to future proof the system as much as possible and will be updating to Windows 10 once released, would any of this cause a problem in that respect?

All comments & suggestions welcome.

If you want to be future proof, I would consider the GTX950 as an alternative, bit more expensive, but has a lot more features which will be used from windows 10 onwards.

I would also not use the standard CPU cooler, especially on that chip as they're extremely noisy and not very efficient. I'd go for the Hyper 212 Evo on that chip.

I think any system you can order from PCS now will work fine with Windows 10 (assuming W10 works fine at all), although as Spyder says the line of history is moving ever further from the 700 series of GPU. When DX12 kicks in I think the gap between the 700 and 900 series will be wider.

Think this will be the final setup, swapped the GPU for a GTX960 and changed the CPU cooler for the Hyper Evo 212
