Help spec me a build with no GPU under £1000

[DougF1]

Hi guys,

Looking for help to spec me a build under £1000, minus the GPU.

Build should be designed around the Enthoo evolv Case (Silver Alu or Black / Red) - be it ATX or ITX so very different builds, but love the case so I'm open to both options. Open to X99 or Skylake as well, so gives you a pretty wide canvas.

GPU will be a 1080 added at a later date.

I'm open to Air cooling or AIO. If its an air cooler it has to look nice as well as function.

ideally it will be the following:

Ability to go SLI in the future
If Air cooler, something trick like the AirMaster 8
Black / Red or Black / white build components for colour co-ordination
As quiet yet powerful as possible.

No need to include the following:

Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse

I'll leave the rest to your expertise.

All-black motherboard would do to cut down cost, instead of that Titanium board. Same for the RAM, the Dominator is expensive and other cheaper RAM could be silver/chrome-sprayed for example. 8-Pack chrome painted some stuff on a LAN rig of his last year, and it looked really nice - https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18695265

Don't know if you need Windows, or more storage.

Do you have a gpu you can use for the time being ? Skylake has onboard graphics, but X99 doesn't.

If you are waiting for the custom GTX 1080's then it might be a couple of more weeks after the founders edition.
