Hawaii could get delayed like most cards do though :/ Custom kits are also way more maintenance and tougher to install. Entirely depends on OP's experience though.

I don't need the little extra tweaks from the Hero.
I want 16GB RAM because I will work work with Photoshop, Premiere etc.
And I want the Ram to be on the list.
I know how many Space I need, trust me ;)
I'm an Invidia-only-guy sooo xD
I want a white case and the white version of the r4 looks like a fridge so no
I don't wanna spend much money on keyboard and mouse and the ones i wrote are good enough
The speakers are 200$ more then the ones i want, and i'll need them for music only, i've got a headset for gaming

And I don't want a custom water-cooling. I want to build it in and forget it ;)
But thanks anyway :)
