    Moose got a reaction from asusfan in Can You Tell Me if This is a Good Build Plan   
    Ok I would like some of your guy's opinions on my build. Right now my labtop MoBo went (also like 8 years old), so I am in the market place for a new computer. I am planing to build a custom liquid cooling loop after. Here are the specs
     
    Cpu Intel Haswell i7-4770K                                                                                                      $384.99
    http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=81325&vpn=BX80646I74770K&manufacture=Intel&promoid=1288
     
    MB Asus Maximus Vi Formula                                                                                                  $300 - 400 no price yet on it or wedsite link

    Case I would like help for this pick. I would like a side window without a fan, also would like to have room to put my radiators inside when I get to water cooling. I love the look of the 900d but there is a lot of space that I don't need. I have looked at the 800d it is nice but I don't fall in love with it. Not on a budget so would like help making a final decision.

    I know drives look ugly but I would like one.
    Drive Asus BC-12B1ST                                                                                                                 $64.08
    http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=64648
     
    After I put this computer together I will air cool for right now, but when i make some more money, I will build a custom water loop.
    Cooling fans will be both Noctua NF- F12 whenever I don't see them, and other better looking/performance fans where i do see them. I would like some help here too. (120mm fans)

    http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=33524

    along with the fan controller I will be getting Bitspower X-Station                                                  $18.36 x2
    http://us.ncix.com/products/?mode=productreviewread&product_id=30588
     
    That is all and for the grand total                                                                                                     $2482.70 + 350 or less for case + fans

    I would like to see what you guys think of the build?
