Hiya, wondered if you guys could suggest any changes to this build before I put it through.

I already have all peripherals and have a cooler master storm scout case (red and black theme already set up within the case) and a 5850 which will tide me over till I get some more money for Xmas. (What gpu would people suggest in a month? :p)

Pc will be for gaming and in particular multi boxing Everquest (12-20 instances hence the 16gb ram, however if it means getting a better psu or SSD then I can deal with 8gb) among other new games.

Budget is £750-800. I chose the g1 sniper mobo as it's reduced by so much with what seems the a pretty good spec and I do like the green :p)

Not overly bothered about an i7 really, though I assume you're saying that as it could improve the multi boxing performance?

I've just been looking at the cases gallery and am gonna have a cheeky look at cases to see if I can find one I'd like and maybe go black and blue or black and white, I'll come back and mention it if I do decide to change the colour scheme :)

I like the psu change too, I missed that when I wa. Looking at seasonic.
 
 
Ahh ok :D, here it is with an SSD and GPU dropped, you could up too a i7 since it has 4 more threads for your multi boxing, threads used to help me when I would multi box games.

You'll want the Samsung Evo over the Pro: similar SSD, £40 cheaper.

Here's my black/white effort. The motherboard is expensive, but it will look great with that sleek, black thermal armour. (EDIT: Or you could just get Idleman's Z87X-SLI)

You didn't mention a budget for the GPU, so I went for the whitest one.

You must have missed these requirements. :D
 
Minus the GPU (and the extra 8-pin and shipping) it is under £800 ;) He asked for GPU advice in the OP, so I pointed him in the direction of a white one.
 
Cheers for the suggestions chaps, appreciate them! Will piece everything together when I get a chance at work and see what I finish with :D
 
What's the deal with the refurbished h100? 90 day guarantee and no warranty I assume? It's a huge price difference but that's a pretty big risk I think
 
Settled on this ( I liked the case )

Those are nice, however I know I'll never need more than 16gb ram in the next few years. I like the idea of the white leds on the current ram... So I think I'm happy with those modules. :)
