Hi all, as part of my 2500k upgrade im looking for a new X99 5820k build, so far I have the following:
My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £699.11
(includes shipping: £13.20)
not decided on a PSU yet so open to suggestions. i do plan to overclock the CPU.
The case i really liked the open area to work in, I saw another member with a large noctua CPU fan installed so should be no space issue.
Still not fully sold on water cooling vs air cooling, I like the build quality of the Noctua Fans but if anyone has some water cooling suggestions im open to them. preferably AIO, not much messing about.
I have a GTX970 waiting to be put in so no GFX card needed. Same for storage.
I will probably squeeze in a M.2 SSD as a boot drive at some point so I believe the board is pretty good for a full speed M.2 slot.
