was going to order later today or tomorrow at latest.
He's chosen so far
Corsair CC9011050 case (mainly for venting on top so we can use a hydro heatsink) plus he likes the look. We were looking at a hydo heatsink as we've been told it allows greater overclocking and is a lot quieter than an aircooling heat sink - not got much experience over clocking I've only ever used the boards over clocking softwares before but its something he would like the option to experiment with (he's 14)
Intel i5 4670 processor - recommended as a good chip for over clocking
Asus Maximus VII Ranger intel z97 motherboard. - (we were torn between this and the MSI gaming 5 board - opting for the new Z97 chipset boards due to reviews from a places like bit-tech and pcadvisor. - the ranger has won stuff like vortex gold, bit-tech premium, several different editors choice awards, some great reviews posted, told its a great build, military spec capacitors, overclocking extras, good audio and loads of gaming enhancing programs as well - normally I go for mid range giga-byte or MSI boards, but as we are looing at over clocking I thought a better quality board was needed.)
went for the corsair hydro H100i heatsink just on a friends recommendation. he states its a lot quieter than an air heatsink and is more stable allowing greater overclocking.
Memory looking at 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 2133mhz. I usually use corsair or crucial, but the QVList for this board is G.Skill, Corsair and kingston so probably corsair vengence
thats it so far -
