Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
Uses - Gaming/Streaming/Photoshop/Video Editing and Rendering
Hard drive missing on purpose
Will use windows 8.1
Ill probably pick up a really cheap optical drive just for the sake of having one just in case although I doubt it will get any use.
Part Logic for feedback
CPU - See above uses -I'm aware that I5 is more cost effective for purely gaming but I'm aiming to do more than that with the system so thought I would go for the I7.
CPU Cooler - I hear nothing but good things about Noctua products from my research should give good cooling performance and allow me to fit my ram in. Is it worth getting an extra fan and going push/pull?
Motherboard - Read a few reviews this seems to get the job done.
Memory - Its like £20-30 cheaper than any equivalent at the moment on UK sites but this was the part I'm most unsure about. My research suggests it will fit with the NH-U14S so that was a big +. If you have experience of this would love to hear. If there is something much better but at a slightly more expensive price I will probably switch to that.
Storage - SSD - Ive heard nothing but good things about this from friends
Video Card - Was gonna get a 780 but budget allowed going for the 780ti so I thought what the hell. I'd rather stick to Nvidia to try Shadowplay and I have one of those 3d vision kits lying around somewhere I might whip it out for a laugh.
Case - I hear nothing but good things about this case
PSU - Slightly unsure about this as this was my least researched part.
Extra case fans - 2 front intake (the Noctuas) - 1 bottom intake (default case) - 1 rear exhaust (default case)
Would love to hear your thoughts if everything is good I'm going to start ordering it up in the next few days
