Over £3k spec - Please check :)

ok cool :)

yeah i just noticed that. well all we will need the drive bays for is a single optical drive so if needs be we could chop off the bottom of the cage like he has done

I think he also lost all space for HDDs but I haven't gone through the vid in detail.

The switch has a number of radiator options if you take one or both of the HDD cages out. You can always use a 5.25" adapter for the SSD if necessary. You should be able to get a decent 360 and a 240 in there without much more work than that. Have a look around the web, lots of examples with minimal modification.
 
Black, white, blue colour scheme mate ;)

For that sort of budget, you may want to consider some Corsair dominator and liquid cooling it.

please not; This will be spending extra money PURELY for looks, no performance gain. Just thought it's be worth a mention as, IMO, RAM blocks look amazing :D

hahaha i think that may be taking it a bit too far ;)

would you say my updated spec is decent then? I decided that with two large radiators it wouldn't matter that much that they're not the 60mm thick ones

ok :p

I'd get EX rads from XSPC. slimmer, and the performance difference is negligible due to the amount of raddage you have :)
 
Might be worth adding a mosfet block when building?

I know most people say that its not worth water cooling a motherboard but the Asus X79 boards do seem to run warm at the mosfet. I have the Sabertooth and I'm going to add this block when I water cool the GTX670.
 
Personally I would only bother with the mosfet block, EK make one that matches your CPU cooler which would probably look nicer?

I guess the one you have listed would be just as good though.
