I have an itch... a painful itch... to upgrade.
Moving swiftly on, I'm planning on donating my 3 year old rig to my dad for money soon so I'm thinking about a new replacement. I've put a build idea below though to be honest the only component I'm actually set on is the case: Fractal R4 because I like it (though couldn't find on the website?). Beyond that... I have no idea. Any alternative components are welcomed. I quite fancy building a colour coded PC this time round, you know right before I put it under my desk and don't look at it again for ages.
The £1400 is for just the tower itself plus OS. It will be used for gaming but I'm also looking to use it for storage of a lot of media. My question is... what would my options be when it comes to setting up the harddrives? Could I just hook up the two harddrives I'm looking to buy, and add more in the future if and when I want to?
Hope this post makes sense and thank you in advance for any help.
