Hi! I am building a new PC with the intent on running 72fps, ultra, on 1440p resolution.

My budget is 2000$ This will be my first PC that I've built. (Very exciting) I will appreciate any suggestions made. :D

I am going for a white and black themed PC. (Very Sleek, Much Cool.)

Woah. A build that isn't Black/red. Thats new.

 

Looks good so far but you definitely want some more storage in that.

 

 

And yes, do the build a favor and stick it in a H440 or a Corsair case. Maybe you could also find a sleaker Motherboard like the Asus Sabertooth skew with thermal armor? Probably a bit cheaper and you could spray paint the armor to be jet black instead of that gold crap.

You call the Phantom a plasticky piece of crap and then recommend corsair? Come on, man...

 

OP, i recommend changing the case, getting an external optical drive instead of an internal one, and getting an 840 evo SSD instead of an 840 pro, much cheaper. You could probably bump it up to a 500gb one and just get rid of the HDD, which is kinda pointless at only 500 gb

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

What about the Fractal Design R4 White with a windows side panel its probably much better than the NZXT Phantom.
