So, my samsung evo drive turned up this morning to bide things over until the new rig was ready, unfortunately my current mobo does not support AHCI, so I am unable to use the drive to its full potential. 
In light of such a disaster... i'm forced to bring my new build forward
Usage wise, it will be used for hardcore gaming, including MMO multiboxing. Web design and graphics work, as well as high quality video rendering and finishing (after effects etc).
I already have the 1 samsung evo for the OS, commonly uses files and programs. Will buy another one to run games from, and then also use my current 2tb storage drives, or potentially buy new ones to transfer and sort data out.
Heres what i've currently got:
Now the difficulties.
Havent properly specced the PSU yet, so thats a placeholder.
Can't decide on a case, I would like a caselabs case, but at £600-£700 this seems unrealistic, so may need to track one down second hand, or find an alternative... which isn't going to be easy.
Cooling... with such a nice setup, maybe its worth watercooling. I'll use the CPU step up option Asus provide, but otherwise won't be overclocking (probably).
My concern with watercooling is previously I had a watercooled setup which had a resonance... hard to explain, but it drove me crazy, imagine something like this:
is that something thats still around or are the pumps better nowdays?

£3K is a massive budget do you need an OS, Mouse, Keyboard etc?
