What else do I need for this Build?

[Sharplucas]

Hi everyone I recently purchased around £300 of Computer parts and I'm wondering what else to buy.

The parts I have already are:
-NZXT 410 Phantom White and Black
-Corsair 650w Hx
-Intel 60Gb SSD
-8GB Patriot Memory.

I would like to keep the rest of the build around the colors of black and white and I have around £1000 to spend this build is for gaming and editing Video and Photo's!

Thanks In Advance!

you'd probably be better off getting 16gb ram rather than 8gb if video/photo editing is something of a job ;p

^Thanks for those specs but I already have Memory I'm just intending to get another kit here's the memory:

[tamzzy]

oh yea, get another 2x4gb kit, i just added one in cuz u had 8gb already. so you'll have 4x4gb in your rig

 

[Sharplucas]

Okay but I was thinking will that cpu cooler fit into the 410 with that ram?

 

[tamzzy]

idk how tall that ram is, looks to be reasonably tall though =x
may not fit under the heatsink

How much editing will you do? The 670 adds cuda support which would really help boost the i5K which you could overclock, it's going for a great price so you can justify spending a little more on cooling I guess. If you want to spend extra for hyperthreading, fair enough but the i5K is no slouch either

The H100 will let you show off your mobo and RAM through the window as the waterblock is low profile. You could change the fans to white as the H100 stock fans get a little noisey when cranked up to the max. Could come back to that much later though to be fair. You could add white braided extension cables to continue the colour theme if you so wish too.

Hope this helps, any questions fire away

How long have you had these?

 

[honosuseri]

How long have you had these?

When they should be these

 

[Sharplucas]

When they should be these

lol, for a couple of weeks and i was looking at the Mpower board from msi so I can Oc My cpu better since it's made for overclocking

 

[Sharplucas]

Oh and I kinda wanted an air cooler

 

[R088ieS86]

You could pre order this:
silverstone heligon sst-he01 cpu cooler

doesn't interfere with ram modules.

Thanks but how hard do you think it would be to install for a person with a decent amount of computer knowledge who's assembled some things before?

 

[R088ieS86]

It looks like most big coolers so it will be simple.
You attach the mounting plate first (which just slots through from the back, then you screw it on from the front.) then screw the heatsink on top.
Max of 4-5mins work if you are being super careful.

Thanks! That gives me a good idea of what I'm doing however I'll just go with the h100 to be on the safe side oh and I was looking at the Msi lightning Gtx 680 what do you think of this card?

 

[Sharplucas]

Or ow about a crossfire of 2 cards like 7950's or Gtx 660 ti's or Gtx 670's (If you can fit them in the budget)
