Ok guys I did post a spec me the other day but my budget is now a lot more. I have £3500 to spend on a full system. I know skylake is around the corner but thats ok. I want a Fury X and obviously theres no price yet so I will say £600 for that. So basically £2900 for the rest including monitor, keyboard and mouse too. I want a big case, the one I have now on my other system Antec 1200 is massive but anything bigger?. This is for gaming and need a decent amount of ddr4 ram too. Was looking at X99 but not sure what to pick. I can probably up my budget to £3800. Thanks for the help.

I quite like the look of these https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-184-GL any good?

The cases you want are 900D or Enthoo Primo really - well suited to custom loop cooling

Will you be fully watercooling this? Might be worth doing at this budget

Sorry only just seen this question, I have never done a full custom loop before but yes im very interested in giving it a go. My budget should be plenty going off the specs so I might do just that. I know theres 2 versions of the Furyx coming, I was wanting the watercooled one. Will that be like an all in one kind of thing or will it need a custom loop?

Also if I do need a custom loop what kit would I need? and again price isn't that important. I have had a good look at those cases but not made my mind up yet. Might go for the 900D. Would that be ok to fit in a H100i + a fury X.

It will be a sealed water cooler similar to the R9 295X2.

If you are going for a H100i for the cpu cooler, then you don't need a 900D.

So the Fury X is doesn't need a loop, thanks I was unsure. I really like the Phanteks and would like a go at a full loop, its just I have no knowledge at doing them. Have been building computers for years but never actually done that. So if I got the H110i the Phanteks would be suitable then? I think I will go with that and trust your opinions. How on earth do you post the items above in a list with the pictures and links? is there some kind of extention I need for chrome?

Have been working on this a litte. I have decided not to go with the pcie SSD for now but to double the memory to 32gb, does this cause any issues with the 5960k?. Just need the Fury X now guys :) and when is that monitor in stock? Also I would like some of those braided colour cables, do ocuk stock them? Am i missing anything? I already have 3 other SSD's I can use and I do have a soundcard in this system but I won't use it if it's not worth it.
