Hey Guys,

This will be my first proper PC build from the bottom up. I have purchased most of the parts and now just waiting on pre ordered parts to come in stock so they can send them to me all at once for cheaper mail rates. I shopped around a bit and source some of my parts from MSY and the rest from PCCG. I hope to have completed this build by the end of next month. I have kind of chosen a Black and red theme but I had to go for the Noctua fans due to their noise level being so low (Brown and Cream colours are great *sarcasm*). Besides these factors I will not be doing any modding... for now. I may consider a full water loop with cpu and gpu in the future. I believe the total expense of my build now is around the $5,800 AUD mark. Any input would be great but remember I have purchased most of these parts already... pretty much all of them.  :P

That's what a job is for  :P despite what my girlfriend thinks! A lot of this maybe overkill but it is basically future proofing myself.

Lol. Future proof...

 

I'd rather have several systems for parties and a large bowl of steaming nachos.

Dammit, I'm making myself hungry and It's 2am -.-"

Yeah I can understand why your laughing at future proofing statement!  ;) But that I mean a larger power supply then what is needed, more ram, and larger case. Just in-case I want to extend the water cooling to custom setup... but I don't trust myself yet and don't want to get in over my head! I'll post some pics of the things I have thus far when I get some time.
