£2327 seems a lot for a single gpu. Any need for windows professional? is the overclock cpu essential? A cheaper motherboard will do a similar job, I would try to modify the system to lower the cost or add a 2nd GPU.

Thanks for the reply bro, Im not sure why i picked professional, i think i was prompted to for some reason when i tried to proceed, i cant remember why now!

The overclock is essential, i tend to play a lot of games whilst they are in alpha and unoptimised states, some of them are real CPU hogs. You dont recommend the overclocking from here?

A cheaper motherboard might do the job, but it really isnt much of a saving (80 quid), im not gonna get a second 980ti for that! i know it is more than i need, but im not looking to save pennies

I am getting this build with the idea that i can get a second graphics card in the future if needs be, which is why the power supply is slightly overated i thought better i go for one kick ass card now, and then if i want to buy a second later, i have 2 great graphics cards, rather than go for 2 mediocre cards right away.

For around £2350 you should be able to fit a 2nd GTX 980 ti with a smaller SSD, 1000w PSU (I don't think 850w will be enough) and the i7-4790 (non-k). If they are in alpha and not well optimised I don't think the cpu will make a difference but I haven't seen benchmarks of those.
