So! I ended up spending about £1040 something overall for the list below, just waiting on the processor to finally get here and the RAM but soon it shall be built.

Intel i7 6700k - Unlocked. £290 + Corsair H100i GTX Cooler £91.98

Asus Z170 Pro Gaming Mobo - £124.99

Sapphire Radeon R9 390 Nitro Tri-X 8Gb Graphics Card £249.50

1Tb Seagate HDD 64 mb cache, sata 3 - £31

Samsung DVD Drive (basic but will do for now) £10

Didn't have to order fans as plenty came with the case that I can re-configure/adjust :cool:

Don't think I forgot anything from looking at my notes and my old rig spec-sheet :)

Good luck with the build. Take your time and enjoy it

I'll try too, (enjoy it that is) it's the cable management I'll be pulling my hair out with.

Side note here: fan setup is a little trick giving the fact the radiator for the cpu will be mounted at the top pulling air in through the radiator and into the case.

this means I'll have that as intake + 1 140mm front intake, 3 side intake fans (200mm + 2 120mm's) but only one rear exhaust fan 120mm...

wondering if anyone here had any idea if this will work or will simply create too much negative pressure?

the two 120mm side intake fans are near the lower bottom right of the case blowing air into the hard drives and if I rotated them they would simply draw the air from the front fan intake back out again.

the 200mm side fan blows air over the GPU which I'm thinking is much needed.

thoughts on this one? saves another thread spam..
 
You should have the 2 rad fans as exhaust and disconect the rear, but you could try the rear fan as an intake see what temps you get.
