I'd not bother over clocking.
Is it really needed?

thx.
Not really. But it's also so easy nowadays that you might aswell do it in the future if you feel like you need more performance

Overclocking is not a must, just do it when you feel like you want some more juice out of your system. Besides there are programs that can do it for you if you can't be arsed to look into it yourself. Asus comes with it's own overclocking utility that can overclock by itself through AI suite with the tap of a button.

Did you even look at the system specs? If so then you definitely should have seen that there's liquid cooling involved.
My comment was in regards to overclocking, not the system setup you posted.

Nope, and if you are on a budget, I wouldn't be very concerned about that. The setup you posted seems pretty decent for the amount you are limited to. Just don't forget to factor in any taxes or shipping, if applicable.

You don't really need to do overclocking. The i5-4690k is already slightly overclocked at 3.5GHz and this is why you need a z97 motherboard. It just gives you the option in the future if you wan't to try. Usually the motherboard has some software bundled with it that can auto-overclock.

Again, the motherboard I suggested was just a cheap one I didn't really look at. Ideally you should spend £80-90 and get an SLI one as it gives more options and may have a few extra gaming features. Choose one you like the look of! You tend to get what you pay for with motherboards (ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte).

Although as Brian1996 pointed out... there are a lot of downsides to SLI - heat, power and performance value for money are the usual suspects. It's better to buy a good card rather than 2 mid-ranged ones.

Ok then I don't want to SLI!

I'm gonna give it a couple of weeks then start making purchases :-)

Make sure to keep that in mind if/when ordering it.

One thing that has me a bit hesitant about that ad is that they don't specify the brand or model power supply included. They simply include the wattage with no specifications on it. While I doubt they want to sell something unstable or defective, I would be careful about cheap power supplies. If you can, try shooting them a message before purchasing and see if they will give you the specs or information on it. Other than that, it looks like a decent system.

If you don't plan to overclock, It'd be better to go for something like this
