White Australian Build

[LeonidasD]

Hey All,

 

Just wanted to post this here to see what people thought, i have done much research and really like this build  (it is my first).

 

on pcpartpicer they do not have the gpu i want to use, i selected a gpu that is in fact longer to check for compatibility issues though there were none:)

 

INTENDED GPU: GALAX HALL OF FAME 970 (http://www.galax.net/europe/970hof.html)

 

I am using PC Case Gear to purchase my parts, actual price comes to $1972.50 AUD

No real need for 16GB of RAM for gaming (assuming that's the main use). Other than that the build looks great, nothing much to add

I heard about a lot of people having problems with the Fury series. I would suggest Corsair Vengeance LP instead.

You sure about Enthoo Pro? I mean there are a lot of good white cases like: Air 540, 760T, 780T

Nice build, man

[Guest]

Nice spec. The cpu cooler is a bit OTT for an i5, although I guess it is a bit hotter in AUS than it is in the UK

Thoughts on the h440 in white and enthoo pro luxe?

Thoughts on the h440 in white and enthoo pro luxe?

H440 Is 50$ More expensive which mean you need to downgrade something to fit H440

And H440 Is Mid Tower Enthoo Pro Is Full Tower
