Hi,

Do you have fittings, fluid, fans and a reservoir for the watercooling loop?

With this sort of cash, i would aim at squeezing a sli or xfire set up in the budget.
 
I wasnt quite sure which fitings i will need.

Im planing on getting 1 graphics card for now and get 2nd in couple of months.

My budget atm is £3000. If i can inprove anything let me know please.
 
Did this with your original 2600~ budget mentioned. For £3000, you can pretty much go 2011 socket and go completely overkill on the specs.

This features lower clocked memory at fair bit better timings. The board does not have as good a sound chip but it has amazing specs. The biggest difference in the builds is obviously the extra Ti. Fittings wise, any compression fitting that EK stocks if you want to use rubber tubing. If you are a first time watercooler, i would recommend rubber tubing over acrylic. This may seem like i just stuck in an extra Ti, but the basket does include the rest of the components needed for the waterloop. Tubing and fitting size is personal preference (as long as they match eachother). Tube or bay reservoir is also a personal choice, went for tube in this case, as they look awesome placed next to the Mobo in the 750D!


What monitor will this monster build be hooked up to?

I havent looked at monitors yet... Want to get this machine out the way first. I cant seem to make up my mind with the parts. Too many to choose from.
 
Well, for the cash not really worth it. The rig above will handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

I wouldn't spend anywhere near as much as the above without going for some serious monitor specs to show off the extra FPS.
 
I like the specs you posted but theme wise i was after red and black.

Is there any chance you can create me a basket as i really want to start ordering asap.

Max budget is 3k.

ThAnks in advance

This one is a hexcore 2011 socket with 16gb of ram.

Would wait around for a spec from Ethel or one of the other bling guru's if i were you though, as they can probably make it look far flash while saving some cash.
