I'm either A. indecisive or B. concious that I'm going to be spending £2k on something which my wife doesn't quite get.

What do you think of this build?....It uses ideas from Doomedspeed amongst others.

How about something still decent for gaming but costing a lot less, then the wife might be more inclined to be ok with it? (speaking from years of experience) :p

£2k on a computer is stupid. Like really stupid.

Not to get into a quibble but I think this is a bit abrupt to say that its stupid. First off, gaming and computing is almost my main hobby....in fact I can't be bothered. Just didn't like the comment.

Stulid - Is that a MMmm for good :)

Spacemonkey - I'm afraid I have to have that damn 780ti... If you could suggest other cut backs without performance loss, please do :D

Cheers

Thanks Doomedspeed. Your awesome at the builds and put my confused and often crazy mind at ease. That 780ti may find its way back into the build though :)
 
£1500 or however much money seems like a lot, but when you actually start building money just flies, gets munched away buying cable ties, screws and the like but the outcome is rewarding :D

I cant wait to actually make the purchase, I'm away on a loooong course at the minute and stuck with my laptop. Gaming is gonna be so much better on what ever I buy really but I want it to be something 'special' (just been sick in my mouth a little bit).

All this waiting around is what's confusing me I think. I was even considering a top of the range laptop with a 780M in it the other day :(
 
A performance level rig is gonna hit £1000- 2000 easily if your speccing properly.
My current system budget started at £1000 and steadily hit the £2000 very quickly.
 
How about a 290X instead of a 780ti

The Superflower psu in your spec will fit in the Ronin, but it is 200mm long so it might block the bottom cable routing hole.

Added a H100i for better cooling. I am not sure if the H105 will fit the Ronin due to the extra thick rad. If it will then swap it over.

Don't know if you intend to add a 2nd gpu at any time. You could probably put a 550/650W psu in to be honest for a single card setup.

If I was spending £2k it definitely wouldn't look like that. The GPU, monitor, case and cooler would be changed :p. Of course it's all down to personal preference, but one thing is for sure I would stick a 290 inside.
