do you want to overclock? do you want to air cool or water cool?

Edit: Do you want to use the bitfenix prodigy m white case?

Like i said, im very unsure whether to OC or not, since this'll be my rig for when i get back to my hometown.And air cooling because those blue fans are a nice touch.For the case as long as it's white so it can fit my blue-white theme.

16gb's is a bit unnecessary but it's your choice.

You could get a second 280x, but i dont think a 750w PSU would be enough

Im not really set on using AIO water coolers and 16gbs of ram is abit overkill for gaming imo

Nah, not planning to change on this one if i built it.750w's are technically enough tho.

VonProdigy's build is best option then, take out the AIO, just have 8gb of Ram, you can get more later if you want.

 

There are lots of other white cases other than the prodigy, but its your personal preference.

hmm,care to suggest more? Im not really familiar with mAtx cases apart from bitfenix and corsair,the corsair air 540's look sweet as well,bah cases2hard5me

[MattWakey]

Oh mAtx, forgot. Cant think of any of the top of my head, was going to suggest NZXT S340 but thats atx
