So my mate is after a pc since he's seen me build mine and others.

Budget is £1,500 and he needs everything, monitor, kb + mouse, OS etc.

One request was colour either black + blue, or black + green.

I should add the exc VAT is because we're in Gibraltar so there's no VAT here, but we have extortionate shipping charges. I'm guessing he's likely including shipping in his £1,500 so account for that please (it will be at least £100, most likely more).

This is all I know for now, I'll find out of there's specific games etc he wants to play. As far as I know it's just for gaming as he already has a 3d TV for films etc and he doesn't use photoshop etc. Thanks in advance :)

Why spend £162 on 1000W PSU? Unless he's going to have a daft amount of drives etc, I don't see why 1000W is even needed nowadays with die size getting smaller and smaller... Half that on a high quality, stable unit would be a better purchase IMO

Like a 750W Superflower to SLI 970's in the future? :p:D
 
Awesome builds so far, especially like Thereaperguys with the cables etc. Will the red ram stick out a bit? In terms of colour, I know it will fit under the cooler haha. And love that it's 2666mhz.

Anyone fancy doing a green and black build also so I can give him some options?

Thanks a lot :)

The red is just the side stickers which aren't noticable, however these can be peeled off (I done this with my brothers). Also they're super fast.

Notes :

The NZXT LED sleeves can wrap around the cooler's tubing for a nice subtle effect (if you set them on lowest brightness level, which I'd advise as a lot of heat on the tubing would not be good), or along the motherboard borders. The BitFenix white LED strip is for illumination of the build.

In the Black/Green spec, the rings of the fans need painting green, as does the metal ring that comes with the H105 cooler. In the Black/Blue spec, there is no need, as blue rings already come with both items. Changed the fans though, as those black/blue Aerocools are great.

The headset LEDs can be set to any colour.

The Corsair K40 keyboard can have its backlighting set to any colour as well.

Sorry for going over budget but it's so easy to go over with colour themes. :D

Ether just does it on purpose :P I had to stop lurking this section for fear of spending all my money. I did plan mentally that next time I needed a pc I was going to undercut my budget by 3-400 pounds just so everyone had some leeway haha.

Awesome spec, and also love Danny75's and everyone's really. Ultimately it's up to my mate to decide though so I'll link him/show him this thread and see what he goes with. I think he's buying this weekend so I'll get pics up once we've got it all up and running.
 
Ok, as much as I/we love Ethers build... my mate wants to save some money and go with Danny's one (the black/green one).

Are there any offers on now worth taking advantage of? I'll copy the spec here in a minute once I add it all together. Thanks for all the posts guys :)
 
Having to change the spec around a fair bit due to out of stock items.

What modular powersupply and cooler can I swap since those two are out of stock?

The two in Danny's green spec that is.
