I will mainly be using the PC for gaming but i will be doing some video editing and 3D work aswell, Suggestions on what Cpu/mobo to get, Preferably intel and red/black mobo's

The way that I will be doing the cabling I do not think that I will need to do lacing :)

If I did though, I would use clear nylon. Not black, as to me black lacing looks terrible.

i think it depends what colour the cables you're lacing are, but yes i understand where you're coming from

Just an idea, but to tidy up the cables you could use Cable lacing, it was on the build log of the week and looks pretty awesome :)

Any thoughts and ideas, let me know

Also another Kiwi, this is the best example of the Kiwi DIY i have come across, you sir are the god of Custom Built PC's. just amazing.

Looks awesome, quite a big heatsink in a small case, looks like it just fits

Looks amazing, only flaw is the top of the heat sink which could do with a polish :P, na its fine, so clean

Awesome design, have fun

I have had a very similar setup, both hardware and monitors etc for about a month and am loving it, enjoy it

I did not power it up while it was on the bag ;)

even then though it can ruin the components, its uncommon but does happen

Tip for the future, dont put the mobo on the anti static bag, put it on the box next time, otherwise looks great

Okay, thanks both for your opinions! I've changed it to Samsung 840 Pro Series 265 GB. Any other feedback would be appreciated.

My Opinion, dont get the pro just get the 840 the pro is a little bit better but for alot more

Ive done some work for both Asus and Corsair so i get 50% off most products for corsair and lifetime warranties for any asus products, therefore i will be keeping the same PSU, cant hurt plus i may get a second GPU later. after looking at the samsung 840 i may switch to it, Ram is 1866Mhz, Basic adobe stuff and 3dvia and art of illusion, and my old machine had an i3 3220 on a Gigabyte ga-b75m with a 500gb hdd

So i am finally upgrading in 3-4 weeks and want your opinions on what i have chosen so far

Will be used for Gaming, Video editing and 3D modelling

Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth Z87

CPU - Intel I7 4770K

CPU heatsink - Corsair h100I

Case - Corsair Carbide air 540

GPU - Asus Geforce GTX 780

Ram - Corsair Vengence Pro Silver (2x8)

SSD - Corsair Force 240 GB

PSU - Corsair AX760I

Let me know what you think

Thats got very similar specs to what i want to upgrade too, let me know how she runs

So guys when you say that I need 650 W PSU what would you recommend? I was thinking about the Corsair AX 760i, what do you think?

If your wanting to monitor your psu then get the ax 760i otherwise just get a seasonic like Glenwing suggested

That looks amazing, so tempted to get my 600t paint blue

Guys I'm happy to see that you are commenting to my topic, but I don't really know if the 550 or 650 would be enough. I have done the extreme wattage calculator and it showed me that under 80% load the system will consume 708W. So cause of that I decided, that I would like a 850W PSU (I was not counting OCing). But I don't really know... Hope you guys will help.

AX860 or ax860i, if you want to monitor your psu go with the 860i otherwise the ax860 will be fine

I definately want one for my next build

get the AX860 just incase, its what ive got and it hasnt let me down

dude please shut up everyone knows what i mean so quite trolling and go back to 4chan if you want to troll

dude it was a joke

I am loving my Roccat Kone XTD, feels great, great specs and looks awesome

so much troll...

no troll, just truth

I would definitely recommend moving it onto a desk with carpet as you wont need to clean it as often

Very nice but go for a h100i and samung 840 non pro

exactly what i did when building mine, cpu hasnt been above 40 degrees celsius and the non pro is about $100 dollars cheaper for a marginally slower (unnoticeably slower) sdd
