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.

I have the Antec AX1200. Is this a good PSU ? or would you recommend changing to something else ? *Cough Corsair Cough* :D

Them Cables look nice but after seeing that cable work having them alternating (Black / Green) would be nice :-D.

Just thought, I will need another PSU anyway :D. Otherwise this PC wont have one.

What corsair PSU would you recommend?

On the Note of GPU. I would like to start with dual SLI, Will I have a room problem Using my Creative Soundblaster ZxR soundcard with 2 GPU's ?

I'm doing so now on this PC but there is very little room between them all.
 
Instead of Corsair try EVGA or Superflower.

10 year warranty on the EVGA and they are made by Superflower too.


The Sound card can go into any of the slots on that board, what you dont want to do is put it in a slot that steals bandwidth away from the two GFX cards.

Any reason behind EVGA / Superflow vs Corsair ? or is it a price / personal preference thing ?

The EVGA+Superflower are superior units.

Corsair use to use good OEMs to make their PSU, but a lot of their recent models have been made by manufactures such as CWT (Channel Well technology) or CPT (Chicony Power Technology).

The AXi1200 and AXi1500 are made by Flextronics.


Here are two reviews of the EVGA 1200P2,

I think I will go with the EVGA SuperNova 1200W '80 Plus Platinum.

Will need to venture into watercooling also.

This build is going to cost me about £4000 I bet haha.
 
I see you like the look of the 900D but in my experience from going from a HafX to the 900D. I wish I didn't good space and all just personally for the cost I yhink the QC is very poor.
 
I've heard that about some of the corsair cases, though in some price ranges I'd still have a corsair case, for the sheer features and style..

..I wouldn't with this price range though, there are many seemingly better options, whether you are going to stick with aircooling or go for a custom WC loop.

Phanteks would be the manufacture I'd look at, the Enthoo prime and the enthoo luxe are top of my list. The primo is basically there take on the 900D and its sublime. The Enthoo luxe is there 750D, a toned down (but still with the same intentions 'primo' both considerably cheaper than there corsair counter parts.

If your not looking into a WC loop, Silverstone cases offer great aircooling cases. The reason why they don't cater to water cooling (easily) is they use 180mm fans as standard. This gives for a much better airflow with less fans. There fans are also top notch. As for the case, the fortress and the raven series are both aimed towards gamers/high end.

I had a Silverstone TJ08-E and the build quality/materials were very good.
 
Seen these also, but they are smaller in size.

I want to upgrade in size if anything and have a big window so I am able to see all the sexy goodies inside :-D
 
There are some huge Lian-Li cases you aren't looking hard enough.

They also do a choo choo train!!!!!!!
 
Haha, They are Huge ones but they are still smaller :-).

and I just saw that train :-D. It's nice but could get complicated when you start to WC it :D.
