The motherboard seems to come with a free Corsair H75 cooler - so there's no need for that big air cooler.

Some red RAM would surely be in order, too?

That case is designed for big multi-GPU watercooling builds. You could certainly save a bit on that.

could you recommend some ram then? i have some olde vengeance ram atm, but im looking for some decent low profile ram (16gb). and i shall take off that air cooler as well in that case.

Also does anyone know if there are any decent Wi Fi cards about?

You don't necessarily need the soundcard. Onboard sound is very good these days.

Right just heard from my work i might be moving around a lot, ontop of this i will need a Gaming machine which i will be able to carry around with ease. Anyone got any ideas? Pre-made/self build doesn't matter to me.

This will be used for gaming and some light Building design programmes. The cheapest will be the best, also providing it will run a decent temp.

Ah sorry, i was wanting around the £500 mark, however i will say up to £650 MAX.

 

[ShivP]

So £650 build

In that case, I'd wait for Z97 + new CPU's
