The budget is an odd number because it is precisly 20k NOK,
Im building a new pc, and id like some advice with the specs!
my current spec plan is

I still have a 1000NOK/162$ so id like a few suggestions like good fans with red LED or maybe a cool case for an example or tips if there is coming any new cool stuff in early 2015

before you think im a really spoiled kid, If you are baptised and Norwegian (i dont know if immigrants get "confirmed"), when you are 15 you will have a big party thing called "Konfirmasjon" or in english it translates to confirmation, so you get your name confirmed and after that you get lots of presents which always means plentiful of "booty".

The 780 TI is a much better GPU. Get the GTX 780 TI!

For good fans Cooler Master has some cheap yet good fans.

If you want really good fans get Noctua.

There will not be much info on new products in 2015 yet.
You would have to tell us what new products you are looking for too.

For the theme red and black put red mesh on your cables.

Of course you will need a good screen, speakers, and headphones. (You may need a mic too for some things)

You may want to get an SSD too. It will speed up load times ETC.
You would use another HDD to store all of your data on. The SSD would be for your programs and OS.

Thanks for the tips, yes im going with the 780ti, im not gonna bind all powercables in that mesh, i think the PSU allready has the cables in black sleeves because the one im currently using (Corsair CX 500 watt) has sleeved cables, and do you know if Corsair, Cooler Master or Noctua has the best cooling compared to noise levels? And im not getting an SSD because i allready have an SSD i use for my OS so ill just use that one and i dont see much of a performance/loading time change between HDD and SSD.

theres a BIG difference is SSD and HDD if you can get a 120gb SSD or buy extra fans for your case

Noctua makes the quietest coolers.

A 500 watt PSU will not cut it. The GTX 780 TI recommends a 600+ watt PSU.

I would recommend a 600+ watt PSU.



Thats why i have a 750 watt PSU, will this be enough to overclock a tad in the future?
