Hello all!

I am in need of my awesome, super amazing, wonderfully intelligent friends at TomsHardware to help me come up with an Intel Gaming Rig for around $1200. This is mostly for rendering, heavy gaming, and running VMs. Needs 16GB DDR3 1600+ RAM. Needs either a Corsiar 350D Windowed Case, or a Fractal Design Define R4 Windowed Case. Also needs a Radeon 280X and Windows 8.1....All watercooled with the H100. I know I am already being picky, but it also needs to be Red and Black Colour Schemed..

Kind Regards,
-Kai

With the rendering and VMs, I'd go the Asus Hero, 4770K, and 2x8 GSkill1866/8 or 2133/9 Trident X DRAM, Silverstone 600ST60F-ES PSU, with the price to performance difference, I'd also go the Asus 770 rather than a 280X prices have sky rocketed on thos, I picked mine up at $300 and they are now costing $400+, and the 770 is the the better GPU.
