Hey guys, new to the forums. Been lurking for a while now, so thought Id sign up. So Im building a gaming pc, and heres what i have so far:
CPU: Intel i7 4770 (?) (max ~$350)
GPU: Asus GTX 780 Direct CUll (?) (max ~$550)
MOBO: Asus 2600 Maximus Vl Formula
RAM: Corair Vengeance Red 8GB 1866MHz (max ~$120)
PSU: OCZ Fatality 750 Watt Modular (max ~$150)
SSD: Sandisk 64GB (Boot)(open)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (Data)(open)
Case: NZXT Phantom ATX Mid Black (would like to keep)
Cooling: Corsair Hydro Extreme H100i (max ~$150)(Too big?)
Budget: ~$1000-$1500
I would like to keep the red theme going, so keep that in mind when making suggestions. The Mobo is not up for debate
Also thinking about doing a custom WC loop seeing as the Mobo would look amazing with it. If I go with a unlocked CPU I will be OCing (Kinda trying to resist the urge...). GPU will more than likely be OCed. Case lighting is a plus if anyone has any good suggestions (Alchemy?). Also if anyone know a FULLY modular PSU (including the 24 pin etc) that would save me some time as I plan on individually sleeving the cables (or possibly just getting some bitphoenix Alchemy sleeves, but would like multicolored red/black/grey) or a case VERY good for cable management) I will be playing mostly 1080p games on high to ultra on a single monitor (possibly 2-3 in the near future). Any suggestions for a killer sound system would be nice (Audiophile and will be doing some audio processing, (planning on getting a Xonar within a couple months) eg. FLStudios, Massive, Nexus, Kontact etc...)
Sooo anyone want to point anything out or make suggestions go ahead. I will be ordering on Friday-Sunday from amazon (free 2-day shipping via Prime), have a micro-center nearby as well for cheaper parts (like the GPU...)
Ideally it would be custom WCed, sleeved, case lighting, etc for no more than $1600... Have at it!
