Hey guys,

Roughly four years ago now i asked for help on a build in which you guys were fantastic and help so much i thought i'd ask for help again.

I'm looking to build a new rig from scratch and possibly sell on the bit's i already use now to make extra money for this rig.


The Rig and what i want

I'm currently looking to build a new RIG, I've currently got £2,500 as my Budget. I don't really want to go any higher than that if possible.

I'm looking for three monitor build, in which they don't have sides so they sort of fit right next to each other with no gap between(If possible). I'd like to have water cooling this time around as I've never tried that and it should be fun to set up. I'm also looking to OC this Rig, That's pretty much why i want water cooling in there, it also looks awesome too.

I haven't really got anything in mind what i would say i most definitely want, but I've seen a case that i like would like to get unless there's a better option http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18527343

If any one could help out, that would be fantastic as i'm slightly out of tune with all the new stuff as my last build was four years ago. the build doesn't need to include Mouse keyboard as i'll just use my what i use now.

Many thanks.

Cheers Doom, that shall give me a base line.

Any idea's on three monitors that would fit very nicely along side each other?

Na worries, ive finished my spec now so have a good look over it, it should be great. :)

I think those super thin bezel monitors will look great in eyefinity. You could attempt to remove the bezel like some have but i wouldn't suggest it. :)
 
So i've had a look at the end build and was thinking of taking out the PSU as i'll just use the 850w i already use. I'd possibly go to 2x 8gig ram so i'm on 16, as i do host a few servers for a few of us to play on, extra memory can't hurt? and i'm thinking of removing the Seagate Barracuda 2TB, i can use the one i already have for now.

I'm also thinking as i get paid in two weeks to possibly go to a £3,000 build, as i'll be selling my other parts to make extra for this, so possibly another 7990?
 
I think this is a first ..... TTL said it couldn't be done but here goes nothing ........
