My new build/upgrade

[CookieDunne]

Hey guys,

 

Well I am about to pull the trigger on the last few parts on my overhaul of my 3 year old PC. I am using some parts from my old PC but changing the majority of it.

 

The system will be used for gaming (triple screens), streaming, capturing, rendering and just general multimedia stuff. I don't need any peripherals or monitors, might upgrade my monitors at some point, but just wanted your opinions on the build.

 

I am open to change and looking at picking up a second GPU and RAM when I have the spare cash.

 

I was going to go for a blue and black theme but since my case doesn't have a window it's not a big deal now.

 

Think that's about it, anything else you would like to know fire away and let me know your opinions. I will also post a picture of my setup at the bottom as I'm pretty proud of it.

 

Budget - £2,000

The colossus is a terrible case, I have read about many people claiming the build quality is terrible and degrades after a year. Go for a Enthoo luxe or 760t.

I've had the case for about a year now, I did only buy it for its looks tbh, and its been okay so far but not amazing, that's why I'm open to changing it.

I would recommend getting a 2x8Gb kit rather then the 4x4gb kit

 

The case is meh, change it if you want but I don't have any opinion on it

 

For storage, I am curious why you chose to have two different brand name of 1TB HDD

Well I would just recommend getting a cheap copy of Windows 8.1 from reedit or something. You can just download classic shell to give back the Windows 7 looking start button and disable active corners. That's what I use and the only difference I can tell between 7 and 8.1 now is the faster boot times.

Probably bought the first one and needed more storage so the other drive was cheaper and bought the other one.

The Seagate was actually in an external HDD but the USB connectors broke on it so I just ripped it apart and put it in the PC as I couldn't find my receipt for it

So you guys think I should go for a Enthoo luxe or 760T case? Will have a look into them then

 

Edit: If I get one of those cases, do you think I should go for a H100i or H105 instead of the H80i

If you are planning to overclock, most definite

And optionally, I recommend getting some Noctua fans on the  h100i or h105 if you do end up getting it but that is purely your choice

Think I'm going to go with the Enthoo Luxe, really nice looking case. Going to do some more research on it then buy it tonight.
