My last post got outdated whilst I was on holiday with the deals so I am putting together a build now that I am back. (Thanks to dazza13 for the other build)

Old Build:
2500k @ 3.3GHz CPU. (can't overclock due to Mobo)
8GB DDR3 RAM.
GTX 670 2GB GPU.

I game at 1440p, 60Hz. Mostly MMOs and new releases such as MGS, Witcher and GTAV.

I'm going for an all-black build with these parts, I would like to overclock the CPU and I am keeping my two SSDs and 6 Corsair AF120s Quiet Edition.

I'm just curious as to what I need to get the build complete. How will I control my fans in the case as I'm losing my current fan controller and will I need any cable extensions?

If anybody is able to change parts and shave off a few ££ that is also welcome.

Thanks.

Sorry I forgot to mention I'd like a full modular PSU, I don't think the Fractal one is?

The coolers are nice though, save a few bucks and still look decent, will they be suitable for OC on a Skylake? I know the Fractal can be warmer.

You are going for an all black build in a non windowed case ? :D

I was originally going for the windowed version but I saw on a couple of reviews it's easily scratched so I decided not to. I still know what's inside even though it won't be seen! :P

Ah okay, that does look pretty decent.

Looking through some more parts on OCUK I see there is also a 650W version of the SuperNova G2. Would that be powerful enough to power the system with an overclock or would I be better off getting the 750W?

A 650W would be fine for a single card setup with overclocking.
