Okay so I have been looking at a few parts and so far ive decided on

Palit GeForce GTX 1080 Super Jetstream 8192MB GDDR5X x 2
Intel Core i7-6700K 4.0GHz (Skylake) Socket LGA1151
Asus Z170-Deluxe Intel Z170 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C14 3200MHz Quad Channel Kit
Vector Custom Design VD01 Desk Case

As i want this to be watercooled I still need to work out what reservoir , pump and radiator etc that i need. Does anyone have a suggestion to the kind of PSU i should be using and compatibility wise does this seem okay??

Many thanks :)
 
Thanks for the recommendation it has been quite a few years since ive looked into building another pc so im a bit out of date with new stock. Ive updated my basket based on what you have said.

Im thinking about swapping the desk case for the Thermaltake The Tower 900 Super Tower / Showcase - WhiteThermaltake The Tower 900 Super Tower / Showcase - White

Id prefer to stick with Intel at the moment as i have used intel in my previous 2 pc builds.

After phoning overclockers they wasnt aware of a card that would still have a warranty after taking the block off so i may have to buy one with a waterblock fitted already :/

Hi guys so after a bit of saving i'm looking to finally start buying some hardware. Does this list still seem okay ? I do not currently have any water cooling hardware on the list apart from the graphics cards. Thanks :)

I have a BENQ XL2410T monitor at the moment but i will probably end up getting a 4k one eventually. Yes this PC will be 99% for gaming :)
 
Okay i have edited the list in my opening post im also debating between these
[*] 1 x Thermaltake Core P7 Design ATX Wall Mountable Full Tower Chassis/Showcase - Black Tempered Glass Win= £279.95
[*] 1 x Thermaltake The Tower 900 Super Tower / Showcase - White= £249.95[*] 1 x Thermaltake The Tower 900 Super Tower / Showcase - White= £249.95

Edit
*As i posted this you posted the same thing lee32uk xD*

Yup i have been looking at the tower 900 but i am trying to decide on which one is better, Okay ill keep that noted ill probably order that after ive built the PC

If you have no water cooling components at all then consider one of the ready made kits by EKWB.

They come pre-selected with everything you need to get going. Just pick one based on radiator size and budget requirements.

A thing to consider with the pre-blocked GPU is if OCUK send you the air cooler as well.

Would be handy to have it if you ever go back to air cooling or even if you ever decide to sell the GPU (more chance of selling with the original cooler).
