Currently building a gaming system for sons GF ,apparently shes a bit of a gamer girl and wants to splash her student load or atleast a grands worth of it on a new gaming pc,
Something that will do CS:GO on max . as well as potential to play newer releases on max or very high settings. Ive already got a few things sorted but need some advice on cpu / mobo / ram / gpu.

Going for a white and purple theme so idealy would like as many parts as possible white / purple or with hints of here and there, already have fans and leds

Case - Parvum S2.0 MATX white with purple accent pack
Mobo - must be MATX
CPU - ?
RAM - ?
PSU - Super Flower Leadex GOLD 550W
GPU - Asus GTX 960 TURBO OC 4096MB - maybe as its white ?
 
You'll probably want a Skylake i5, i5 6600 is you don't want to overclock and i5 6600k is you do. However, the only white m-atx motherboard is the MSI B150M BAZOOKA which you cannot overclock on.

For RAM any DDR4 would work, but if you really want to stick to the white theme you can get Crucial Ballistix Sport LT in white or the Corsair Dominator Platinum.
 
 
Mmm not sure the budget will stretch to a 970 card theres still monitor ,keyboard and a few bits to buy to buy which is around £200

Thinking on it might be worth dropping the white from the mobo area and using any savings for the better 970 GPU !

So far then cpu and ram on the list.


Total: £260.68

So any suggestions on a black matx mobo that has OCing features and preferably wifi although not essential.

just wish the new shop would put motherboards in form factor order :(
 
Seems ALL the Parvum S2.0 cases are "not available any more" ,

still waiting to see if theres going to be more stock coming in :(
 
Seems OCUK arnt getting anymore of the parvum2 as there EOL
so shes going for a carbide 240 instead.

My basket at Overclockers UK:

Total: £1,003.80
