I know... had to look at your Total five times to believe it.

You guys sure stay up late! To ether id say no more than £1700 if that helps with an epic build even though they all look pretty epic to me.

So... I did blow the £1500 limit... but I think this will do... nice and green including matching keyboard and mouse...

Hhmmm havent seen the nzxt h440 before think ill have to get on youtube to see some reviews.

 

[yid1981]

Thanks nickol for the full watercooling but I dont think im quite confident enough to take that challenge on, in fact just building a system is gonna be a slow learning adventure for me.

 

[HalfBakedJake]

Check out the Linus Tech Tips review of the h440

Its easy and yours would be very simple, building a PC can be hard or as easy as you make it, do your research, take your time and most of all enjoy it
if you bought a retail cpu it comes with a fan so you could test the main part of your rig, get it running, then concentrate on the cooling. Its extremely rewarding knowing that you can either push your hardware or run in near silence when watercooled.

 

[Akagi]

I've been building PC's for years and still haven't had the balls to install custom water cooling. One step at a time I say.

 

[yid1981]

Checked out the linus review of the h440 and I think I still like the 540 better but thanks for showing something different

 

[yid1981]

Right guys so im definitely liking a red build and what I was thinking was to have some white led's in the case to light it up then red led fans aswell. What do u guys think? Will it look ok or be to over the top?

Should be fine I think. The white will help clear the red hue caused by the fans so you can make out the colour of everything, and you will still see the red leds on the fans.
