    @Rashy Ah yeah sounds like you'd be right mate
     
    @msquare Ohhhhhhhhhhh okay makes sense why the extra ram is suggested, I don't currently record, I might one day, so I might just get extra ram then? Like one stick of 8gb should do me fine for now
     
    @stconquest Haha sweet, ah screw it I'll do 16gb, it'll last me well enough hahah so many back and forth thoughts and Australia bro You were right on it

    Hahah I've seen some oil cooled builds and as much as they look sweet, I'll be alright but thank you it'd just be too much work, and I'm not looking for it, sorry mate.

    I was thinking about a h100i pre filled, just a simple CPU one, nothing too fancy, otherwise it'll add a crap tonne more onto the cost of my build.
     
     
    Oh sweet as dude, good to hear from another Aussie Okay that's cool, I'm thinking of getting a 4690k, yeah I'm not doing any insane OC's either haha cheers
     
     
    Yeah the environments temp is a big thing, sadly I don't have any AC, closest thing I have is a fan haha, so yeah it's gonna stay prettttty damn warm okay awesome thank you for the recommendation
     
     
    Yeah the pricing between the (two things I'm trying to decide between, or am open to new suggestions) Noctua NH-d15 and the h100i is about $50, I'm going for the nzxt phantom 410 case, which will fit the h100i fine plus two fans on top easily which I'm pretty happy about, but yeah thank you

    Overpriced by $85 but it's totally worth it.(We can still lessen the price by swapping out the peripherals and monitor but the components are set(but I think we can still change the SSD )) You can also opt to remove one GPU 1st then upgrade your CPU(i7-4790k) and probably the RAM(16GB) and SSD(250/256GB)

    Wouldn't go with such an expensive case. I have a 900D and I regret getting it, it's just not worth it.
    Anyway, here's a build, I recommend acquiring windows "differently";
    EDIT: Woops! I forgot to add a harddrive! You can probably substitute half the SSD for a 2TB HDD and maybe be about $10-20 over budget.

    What about going for an Asus Strix GTX 980 OC ? check out some of the reviews and benchmarks the 980 has the pants down of the 780
     
    What about a NZXT H440 case I think they look amazing...
