Yeah man, definitely do a build log! I wanna see this bad boy

Yeah this is probably the simplest way to do it

What if the top of the barrel was sort of closed with a cutout for the inlet of the res and you just sort of placed it on top of it? Not sure if I'm explaining right, but you know what I mean?

lol da hell did I just read... Time to read it a second time because I didn't understand anything the first time Ooohhh you want a sort of casing for your res that looks like a wine barrel. I see. So you want to build it out of actual wood?

Why would you put an i7 in a 1000$ gaming build?

Just make sure you get a good quality PSU from a respectable brand. Which one are you getting?

Yeah, that cooler will perform fine for a mild overclock.

The case isn't that bad. I've built 2 systems in it, it's ok for the price.

Strangely enough, this is the first time I've seen you. Hello der ^ v ^

Your build is pretty nice, though I would suggest dropping the H100i and getting a high end air cooler. Use the extra money to get an 8350 or maybe a 290x.

Much better... lol EDIT: ah you put a space at the end of the link

Can we get a screen shot or something? I don't have office on this pc.

Yes.

That's my little modest rig I do high resolution gaming and video editing.

Because.... Ubisoft!

Welcome to the forum, we really can't help you with just that info. http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

Background on... what?

We get it... You have an old ass monitor. You don't need to make 3 topics about it. lol

Oh so you'll put the parts in yourself, you only need Linus to pick them for you? 1 sec I'll get him... @LinusTech

You get the final version and all updates. You're pretty much buying the game early (in an unfinished state).

Well if the only thing wrong with the 750D is that it doesn't have dust filters in the bottom, then just get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-Tek-Filter-Cooling-FF143B/dp/B00ARB5E8A/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1402245979&sr

You can save money in a few places like the RAM and PSU. I would get a 1600mhz kit and a cheaper 500-550w PSU, then get a GTX 780 with the money you save.
