Hi guys,

I am currently running a budget AMD-based rig (see my sig) and would like to take the plunge into Intel some time in the new year.

I would be mainly using for gaming (BF4 etc) and some Adobe design and video editing work.

My only certainties at the minute is that I would like to go M-ATX form factor and would like a custom water loop. Also being semi future-proof would be good.

My ideas so far are:

-Gigabyte G1 Sniper Motherbaord
-Core i5 4670K CPU (base 3.4GHz, overclocking potential?)
-Corsair 350D case (windowed version)
-Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600MHz (4x4GB kit)
-Nvidia GeForce GTX 770? (not 100% about this one)

Now it's over to you guys to let em know any ideas or suggestions you may have! I need ideas for my water loop, alternative CPUs and GPUs.

I'll be buying in components over the space of a few months, so I can afford some higher-end bits.

Thanks in advance for your help.
