Need opinions on my Portable, Upgradeable,Watercoolable (if that's a real word) rig.
specs:
Intel i3 4160 (will upgrade to i5 4690k later)
Stock cooler (maybe 212 evo if I can shell out some extra cash)
Hyperx Savage 8GB DDR3 2400mhz ( because why not and it's the same price on amazon as 1866mhz ram)
ASRock Fatality Z97M KILLER matx
HyperX fury 120GB SSD
WD 1TB hard Drive
msi gtx 750 ti 2GB GDDR5
Thermaltake Core V21 Matx case
corsair VS550( maybe EVGA SUPERNOVA G1 650W if I want more upgradeabillity)
I have a Cooler Master Octane Combo Keyboard and Mouse and a copy of windows 8.1 that's product key I have used to make a.iso file for Windows 10 using the windows 10 setup program. All opinions welcome. My budget is around £450-550. Good luck
