Hey all,
This isn't quite my first gaming PC build, I believe my last build used a Ti4200, so its been quite a long time!

I'm looking for some feedback on my parts list. I have about £1000 to spend. This PC will be used with a 1440p monitor and I'm unsure about the graphics card. I've used a higher W PSU to allow for an additional GPU and hard drives in the future. I've picked Noctua NH-U12S due to how quiet it is (I'm fairly concerned about noise).

I have concerns regarding the case and fitting in two graphics card in SLI.

To be honest the RAM, CPU and Motherboard were picked pretty much randomly.
I will also be using this machine for minimal Photoshop work, and development.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Yea, thats why I went for the larger PSU and some additional hard drives in the future.

I will definitely check out scan.

Thanks for the reply.
