Just a few things,

I am sticking to the 900D. Currently have the Haf X and want something along the same size or bigger.

After experience over the years of MSI Boards (The misses was MSI) failing I will not touch them, Thats why I stick with Asus now.

What seems to be the problem with the Corsair RAM ? Corsair is a brand I trust (Currently have It in my PC) and Its been the best I have used.
 
The problem with the corsair RAM is it costs the same as the 5930K.

You will get a bigger performance gain from the superior CPU and less expensive RAM.

I see your point. I think, I will keep an eye on the RAM and CPU, as tbh I think throwing over £700 on the CPU is a tad to much. £500 is dooable.

The G.Skill would be an option if it wasn't Red :D , This seriously messes with my Black / Green Build haha.
 
When it comes to monitors I currently have a Asus PB278Q 27".

I used to have 3 of these but due to financial reasons I had to get rid of 2.

Now I am tempted to take a trip into the 3 monitor realm again.

If I was looking at getting 2 more Asus PB278Q 27" (3 total at 2560x1440) would 3 GTX970's EVGA FTW be able to deal with the resolution
 
I was just wondering how well it would hold up etc.

So here's my conclusion as of tonight.

I would also like to add watercooling to this but have no clue what to start with, Would like clear pipes / tube reservoirs clear everything. But I will look into this later.
 
Dang that's baller.

Instead of picking on the ram price.

I will pick on the case and point out the £200 phanteks enthoo primo.

Translate ? lol

But down the line (end of next year) if Skylake turns out to be as good as said, then I can upgrade to that.

The ram price is high but I didn't see any other ram with 3000mhz at less of the price.

I might be shying away from other brands because I am not familiar with them...

Also that Phanteks case is horrid... the 900D is pure sex :D
 
Corsair fanatic much? Lol. There're better/equal options for less. Ram and case springs immediately to mind
Kb/mouse but they're personal choices.
 
i am typing this on my mobile phone using the google voice to text service how awesome is that?


Hands free for the win while in bed touching myself!
 
Hah... erm...

Yes I do like Corsair :D . You can't really say a case isn't personal choice. As I like to keep my case in plain view I want something that I will look at and like, not something I settled with because its cheaper.

If there is better / equal ram quality out there I will consider them, I would like a high speed ram. 2600 MHz +
 
Sorry It's been a while, I forgot my password and the site's Forgot Password wasn't working so had to contact an admin.

I have taken your advice on the Ram and opted for Kingston seeing as there is no difference between that and the Corsair
 
Here's what I got so far

What cables would you recommend, I am going for a Green / Black Build.
 
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-005-BX&groupid=701&catid=1428&subcat=2664

But the cards need 2x6pin each, this bundle contains 1x 6pin and 1 x 8pin.

I actually think one green and one black cable per card will look best

YOUR BASKET
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 6pin PCI-E extension 45cm - Black £6.49
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 6pin PCI-E extension 45cm - Green £6.49
Total : £15.26 (includes shipping : £1.90).





Are you sure you dont want to save £100+ per card with this GTX980,

YOUR BASKET
1 x Inno3D GeForce GTX 980 "Herculez X3 Ultra" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (N98V-1SDN-M5DNX) £399.95
Total : £409.55 (includes shipping : £8.00).

 
Guess I not looked into the cards properly. I am going to be watercooling the CPU and GPUs so I'm not overly bothered on their cooling fans.

I picked the EVGA because that's what I have always had and never had any issues but like I said I'm open to suggestions.

Them cables are beautiful and I will defo be looking at getting them done, cheers for that link.
