Need Help On New Gaming Build

Sasquatch_ibra · 7 Dec 2014 at 00:09

Need help on building the best Gaming build I can with a budget of £1800

Also what is the cost of OCUK building the PC

Is this case a good case for space and cable management ??

Thanks

yes i can build the pc myself, but i was wondering how much extra will it cost for OCUK to build it.

The only part I need is the tower.

and I would like that case or something similar with black and green colour scheme

Thanks for the help guys.

But with the graphics card will there be much difference between this graphics Card:

or the one you listed above ??

Also with the CPU cooler, is the Corsair H80i or the Corsair H100i be a better choice to the Cooler listed above ?

Also will those Corsair H80i, or Corsair H100i be compatible with the Colossus Venom case ?

Im thinking of upgrading the graphics card to :

Cool, sticking with the H100i then lol

Made a few changes.

Will this build be the ultimate gaming machine ?

Also whats the difference of having 2 of the same graphics card as to just having one ?

Sasquatch_ibra · 7 Dec 2014 at 15:59

Will two 980 be overkill then ??
