Ok guys soon going to buy all my parts for my first complete self build, I’ve researched most of my data from here. And would like peoples comments and suggestions of things I could do better / change. The insides will be the following;

Spec.jpg


Over clocking wise I intend to overclock at a moderate level nothing extreme. Though I won’t discount this for the future.

The only major problem I have atm is the case, budget around £150, I’m leaning toward Lian Li cases mainly but I do like the ATCS 840 Classic as well I don’t want a flashy case I want something smart that has good cooling / low noise and especially have lots of space inside to work, also I would like to try water cooling in the future. And I want this case to last me a good few upgrades. One other thing I know is that due to the length of the 5870 ATI cards I want have two of them in the future and have the ability to comfortably fit both the case.

Just to give you an idea of what I want from the computer, it’s a gaming rig mainly, I intend to have Eyefinity for across 3 screen (yes I know about the monitor restrictions) and then across the top I intend to have 3 smaller monitors which will run from the existing 8800GTS cards I have, they won’t be used from graphically intense applications. Only for WoW multiboxing mainly.

Anyway comments suggestion welcome. I intend doing a build log once I get started but you advise and comments will be welcomes especially as this is my first self build.
 
Yea, the funny thing is the case is actually tyhe thing i have spent the most time agonising over and i just cant seem to make a decision, though i have to say the corsair 800d does appeal i like its simple looks and huge interior.

Though i do like the UFO2 as well though i cant find it for sale in the uk.

Then again a lot of the Lian Li cases are just awesome ..

Decision decisions...
