Hi guys,

So I am looking to build a new gaming rig for around £1500/£1600 can be a bit under or over its not a strict budget.

Here's what I had so far, Stuck a bit on the case as Im fussy. But overall I'm trying to get a Yellow and black theme to match the motherboard :)

Any thoughts?

Thanks

1KW is overkill, a 750 will run what you have and xFire fine
If you dont mine referb H100, use the stock cooler until the units are in-stock & change the stock fans.
 
The i7 and the H100i looked like a better bundle to me, I don't really need to save money on the build that much, And I'm not too sure about getting a refurbished unit for warrant of it breaking again :/

I know a 760 will run the build fine but I'd like to step above the minimum just so the PSU isn't under so much load, The 256 SSD looks good though I did not see that

Thanks :)
 
Complete theme in "yellow and black" suits you sir?
