I'd like a TJ11 rig with some watercooling gear and preferably a 2500k, and a decent mobo...I don't need a graphics card at the moment, the rest can be whatever, so considering that, my budget would be ideally £1000, can it be done?
Thanks.
 
When you say you dont need a gfx card, is that because you already have one? Or you dont plan to use one? If its the former which sort? So it can be included in your loop, if its the latter, will you add one later? So Your loop can be big enough to accomodate it.
You may get more joy in WCing section than general hardware

Would have to add the water cooling later as the case swallows nearly half the budget.
 
Nice case but its insanely expensive. I personally wouldnt spend more than £200 on a case unless money really was no object. No point making hardware compromises when there are plenty of awesome cases for less than half the cost of that one.
 
I have a GFX card with a block already, for clarification.

Indeed, I know the budget is quite low but I just wanted to get a general idea of what I could get, I guess i'm looking at a £1500 target.

And thanks stulid.

No I don't. I just wanted to see what a £1000 budget could do, so now I can see it will have to go up :)

With only £1000 to spend there is no way i'd buy a TJ11 as the cost will seriously hamper the rest of the build. If you were spending £2000 then it would be a consideration if you were happy to spend that much on a case. Silverstone do make some great cases, but you really don't have to spend nearly £500 on one.

I wouldn't mind buying from the members market to save some money, although I think with £1500 I should be able to get everything I need new. It's a shame the TJ11 is so expensive :(

It's a nice case for sure, but then Silverstone have a lot of nice cases and most of them can be had for a lot less cash. Love my TJ09 and it was only £200 :p The TJ07 is still an awesome case and can be had for £260. Unless money is no object to you, nearly £500 on a case is absolutely insane.

Money is an object, but not much of an object :).. I know the TJ07 is good, but the TJ11 is just TOO good :).
 
Personally, to have what is 'arguably' one of the best cases available, and something that will last years & years, and will get a lot of attention and enjoyment for £500 is not too hard to imagine, considering that a top end GFX card costs similar money, and will be obsolete in approx one year to 18 months and you'll want something bigger & better. Personally, if I had the money, I'd love the TJ11 :D

Choose one. :p

Why a TJ11 - there are cheaper alternatives as well.
 
Yes indeed the MurderBox MKII is nice, however it is a full system, not sure if you can buy just the case..and it's also not released yet.
