First build, can you rate it?

[Dizz]

So, I had a budget increase and this is what I thought...
Never built my own PC but thought I would give it a go to save some cash.

Am I missing anything or would you make any changes??

If there was to be a colour scheme it would be green but I wasnt specifically designing the rig around a colour. What would you change Doomedspeed and how would you make it follow a colour scheme?

Thanks for the suggestion Josh, is the H60 just not good enough for the CPU?

I was really considering the mount doom cooler actually but thought it took up too much room. Has anyone else got experience with the K2? Would it be too big to get in the RAM needed?

I picked the reference GPU as it has the green light up logo on the side..

The reference cooler isn't actually that bad either, assuming you've got good airflow, which you will have with all those fans.

Thanks Doomedspeed. Looks good with all the green.

I will look into shaving off a few more pennies for a 250gb SSD or just whack on the extra. I'm in negotiations with my wife on the costing. I think I could get away with nearer to £1900

but the slight difference in colour drove me mad - to the extent that I had to get a different 780.

So I'd stick with the 780ti HoF - the silver backplate with the green PCI-E cables will go very nicely with the Sniper's heatsinks.

Other than that, Doomed's spec looks lovely

I do believe that is enough to make me get the original 780ti. If im buying a windowed case and having a bit of a colour scheme then YELLOW has no place in my life.
