Hello everyone,

I would like to build a new system in the next month or so and I wanted to see if anyone wanted to volunteer to make a pc part picker build that has a white case/components with some light blue thrown in there. More information is below and thanks for everyone's time.

1. My budget is $1000-$1200 but I already have my cpu (i7-4770).
2. I would like to game at 1440p and I have the monitor picked out for that too (Acer G257HU smidpx 60Hz 25.0" Monitor $250)
3. That monitor is part of the budget so it really leaves me/you $750-$950
4. I would like a reversed case/case that has the window on the right side because I sit with my pc on the left of my desk
5. I would like a micro atx case so I can sli/crossfire in the future (the best case I've found so far is the Bitfenix prodigy M)
6. I'm open to an AMD or Nvidia based gpu but I need an 1150 socket motherboard for the i7 cpu
7. I would prefer an AIO cpu water cooler (just looks cool - eventually I'll get a K series cpu to overclock with)

Thanks so much for the time and help again - I really appreciate the input from everyone

You can also do the Corsair 240 Air:

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/carbide-series-air-240-arctic-white-high-airflow-micro-atx-and-mini-itx-pc-case

It can actually sit two GPUs, the Bitfenix Prodigy M can only fit one GPU.

Corsair modular PSUs have individually sleeved colored cables available to buy:

RAM is not that hard, there is probably white from most manufactures. I have sen white Corsair, Kingston and G.Skill.

PSU will be hard, most are black, and board/GPU will be hard. I will have to dig around for something white or blue or both.

Silverstone TJ08, and Silverstone FT02, and the Bitfenix Outlaw

The Lian Li A05 has a reverse ATX version, and Caselabs cases can be configured that way too.

suggest going with a budget air cooler or leaving stock UNTIL you are going to upgrade to the K series processor... you could also get a blue/white cooler from phanteks: PH-TC14 (dual 140mm fans) or PH-TC12 (think blue and white evo 212) for 80 and 50 bucks respectively.

boards - MSI krait, ASRock Extreme 4or6

suggest at least a ~250Gig SSD, tier 1-2(maybe 3) PSU (seasonic, xfx, better EVGA units), avoid Thermaltake, Coolermaster, and even some corsairs anymore. (johnyguru has reviews).

I just noticed he wants a reverse ATX case. SO the Air 240 wont work although it is a nice case, plenty of room for CFX/SLI.

In fact this color themed build and budget will make it harder. Normally non standard colored parts are not cheap. That PSU is at cheapest $179.

I think the OP needs to change to white and black for a theme.....

I'm looking and the bitfenix prodigy m and it can fit two cards and that's only $90 - if the psu is black that's fine but I would really like the window on the right - thanks for noticing

you could also be somewhat brave/confident and mask off the intake fan, rear, and cable connections and white plasti - dip the psu. the plasti should peel off easily if you ever need to send it somewhere.

ok - I've heard so many things for two 390's - I've been getting responses from 800-1000 watts

If you calculate it out just the GPUs alone would be pushing 500-600W depending on clock speed and load. We could even put it on the low end of say 450W just in GPUs under load. Add in the CPU, SSD/HDD, fans, water cooler, board and any other devices and you will probably be pushing 700w under load.

hmm... 700w isn't too bad - what if they are overclocked
