Can do better as has been shown above.

That cooler won't fit that case at all, there's no where to put it.
For £140 I'd want a damn better case as well, that thing is ugly and useless IMO.

The motherboard is overkill as you have no reason for the shield or water-cooling features. Power supply is wayyy overkill & some simple TeamGroup 2400Mhz RAM will do nicely. Red components in a green case.

I'd change a lot. Let me spec.

Please change that case, it's hideous!
The case above can handle 2 x 360mm radiators without any modifications in any way & for the sake of it, you can add that ASUS board back in to water-cool that as well.

I think H100 should be ok, unless its different to 240 in general, but if I get my way I'll be modding the top anyway :) Shhh...(don't tell him):D

he'd got his heart set on the venom and he's a good kid who doesn't waste his money throughout the year so despite keep asking and telling him how much it is all costing etc, I can't begrudge him having something he actually wants, and if seeing the led's floats his boat i his bedroom, who am I to argue...
To be fair it's going to be as future-proof as we can hope for at our level, I don't mean Gaming I know that can change in a heartbeat, but it certainly isn't going to be embarrassed for a few years yet and I'll have probably blown something up before it actually 'Needs' replacing..

Or did you mean the H100 isn't what you would choose?

I have plans for more WC by Christmas if I get my way along with the bling I requested earlier.... I'd like to do it myself too, so that will give me the time to do some research before deciding if I can hack it or get the Alchemy y'all suggested... the black and red seemed a little dull, the red I mean not the overall look, and seeing some of the orange ones and brighter reds, I fancy a sleeving job myself :)

so Part 2 of the build will be door Mod, Lighting, WC, and sleeving, but as he is after it now and I haven't researched enough, this way gives me time...

if it was the H100 you meant... suggestions?? but I assumed you meant the Venom.

Thanks for your help this far even if it seems like I didn't take any notice, I did take it on board, so it wasn't wasted.

Cross posting Reaper, but it's Red /Green , as opposed tor Red/ Blue, and I'm sure I've seen the 240 rad in the top already?? I get it's not everyone's cup of tea..

Thanks Reaper, He's gone to bed now, but I did have yet another go at getting him to reconsider and for the first time he wavered.....

Well that's overstating it, he's full of cold and just wanted me to leave him to sleep I think LOL... but he agreed to look at the case suggestions again...

I've also pointed out the lack of needing that board, but by the same token, like it myself and it's features!

Will put it too him and indeed see nothing wrong with the ram suggested , but when you also want some bling with it the Avexir certainly does that..

The psu was intended to allow for a second card depending on how he took to pc gaming as a ratio with ps3/4 and once he had the monitors to warrant it. and potentially price drop over time.

will check out your spec and look again myself for cases as he seems to have softened :)

Whilst it seems to be universally hated on this forum, we both like it, though I have explained that if the led's are too bright for gaming and he switches 'em off he's left with a case with white stripes down it...
I do believe the 240 rad fits ok, but I'm not arguing there are better cases and I agree it's expensive for what it is... Maybe can get him to increase my canvass to a 900D J/K :p

The NZXT H630 would a perfect case for you to watercool in, the Collusus with the amount of modding you'll have to do, you'll only ever get 2 x 240mm rads in there if you're lucky at that!!

Taking my spec if you switch the PSU for a XFX 850w & that Formula board, that would be a perfect setup in my eyes.
 
This is the only case in our price range that I can safely say turns my head ..I spotted it last night whilst looking for other cases, I like the 800/900 but $$$

But despite looking a little 'thin' or lightweight in places effectively due to so much cooling or vents...

OK so Motherboard and GPU and Processor are NON negotioable :D barely scraped in under the weekly deals :p the rest we'll see what next week brings... he didn't like the black H630, white 'so-so', but barely cheaper so he's still keen on the Venom..

I'd love to do an install in the 750D as I think it looks stunning, but by the same notion I have some Ideas for the colossus, that he has just kinda agreed to so as it's actually a massive case and despite y'll saying it's awful for cooling and WC I think I can Mod it some to improve that , so would consider it a challenge...

He didn't mins the 750D but effectively as it's the same price he still loves the venom :P
I can work on that if they release the damn thing :P so either way I'm going to get to play a little :P

I like this buy the build in smaller chunks idea, it's easier to hit budget ;)
