This build is inspired by the Murderbox MKII Gold. I really want the components to match the black and gold theme (except the power supply because it won't be visible). I will be overclocking and watercooling, but this thread is just about the system components for now.
Approximate Purchase Date: a couple of weeks (to get some black friday deals hopefully)
Budget Range: flexible, but goal is $3000 or less including full custom water loop ($1000+).
System Usage from Most to Least Important: benching, gaming, general usage / internet.
Parts Not Required: monitor, mouse/keyboard, secondary/storage hard drives.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, amazon, others.
Country: USA
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU. All components black or gold.
Overclocking: Yes, CPU and graphics card.
SLI or Crossfire: No, single graphics card.
Monitor Resolution: Re-using 2 monitors, 1600x1200 and 1980x1200.
