Hey, this is my first attempt to properly custom build. Thankfully my house is an old hand!

So just looking for compatibility and general advice.

Thanks

Intel i7-6850K 3.60GHz may be overkill for gaming also I don't think you need 1500 Watt PSU for that build.

That case is nice, but it is pretty expensive. A Fractal Design R5 would do a very similar thing for almost half the cost.

Way overkill on the PSU. I would suggest the Corsair RMi 750W/850W for a nice quiet psu with room for SLI.

That gpu will be quiet as it has an AIO on it. Remember that you need to accommodate the radiator and will need two spare fan mounts if you go sli.

Swap out the i7 6850K for the i7 6800K (Or 5820K). Unless you plan on using all 40 pcie lanes then it isn't needed.

You could easily swap out the expensive AIO for a Noctua D15S. You won't get much quieter than Noctua or BeQuiet coolers.

Most coolers come with thermal paste so you shouldn't need the extra tube.
