    Right I'm getting a new computer which I want to build myself, so i'm looking a buying the components all separately and have come to this, I want to know what you think :)


    If you have opinions or advice on something better that is cheaper please do say, also is this motherboard a good one? I went for it because of the price XD

    Thanks in advance :)

    what's your budget?
    1. Get samsung ssd instead of the kingston
    2. Watercooler is really not neeeded atm. 212 evo will do fine
    3. Get another case, something like cm 690 III

    Well around £1100.

    1. What's the difference/ advantage?
    2. I will be overclocking the cpu so I'm gonna stay with it.
    3. What's good about the case?

    If you've got a bit to spare get an I7 4770k imo, then you keep the water cooler and oc the I7, saves you upgrading for a very long time.

    The case is one of the best one around, it's really silent + the brand is more known.

    The samsung is just much faster/better
    If you are going that big you might aswell buy 4770k
    Not sure about the case Lux recommended, looks fine indeed. Its just something you'll have to find out for yourself. See what you like about the cases.
