Hi. I have a budget of £2000 that I want to spend on a high performance gaming computer. I will also be using Cinema 4D and will be editing and rendering videos.
So far I have this:

If you do plan on changing things then the things I definitely want / need are:
The wireless card
The headphones
The monitor (because it has a refresh rate at 120hz)
Mouse and Keyboard
What I don't need is an operating system as I have a Windows 7 USB
The only thing I am unsure of is the motherboard
Also, should I water cool or just stick to fans?
(I wont overclock for a few years yet)
If possible, could you stick to the configuration as closely as possible
Sorry to be so picky
-- I will be buying all of this in a few months (around june / july hopefully)
