Decent mobo, black/blue colours

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/QWsR8d

 

I also added a CPU cooler. I think you know why...

 

Also, took out the sound card and put a better case in there. Sound cards are SUCH a waste of money that can be put towards other things. And with a budget like that I don't think you should have a budget orientated case.

Sorry should have mentioned this in the first post, I am OCing the CPU and GPU and watercooling them. That is why no CPU cooler and why I chose the define s.

This is your first build? I don't recommend custom water cooling for a first timer. 

 

And, why does the fact you are water cooling make you choose the define S? The Enthoo Pro is a custom water cooling's dream!

Yeah it is my first time building. Do you really think the enthoo is better for watercooling? Why, could I ask?

Of course you're allowed to ask :P Ask me anything and I'll tell you. There is no such thing as a dumb question in the world of technology!

 

It's better due to it's larger size and it comes with a reservoir bracket. There are many other reasons but I can't remember them :D

It is also just a better case in general. Made of lots of metal (took a lot of strength to get out of it's box), has better cable management, comes with a fan hub, comes with a 140mm fan AND a 200mm fan, it also has a PSU AND storage cover and it's only $100 ($130 AUD). Very nice case IMO. 

 

Oh! And I forgot to mention I have one. I would even recommend it to people with a larger budget for a case.

 

Here's Linus's video on it:

 

 

It was also rated best case of 2014.

Dont. Watercool. Seriously, i had my system leak 3 times, not saying it will with your build if you build it nicely but an air cooled system is insanely much more versitile. I now have a enermax cooler and it looks nice and sleek and is much easier to handle.

Anyone got a good mobo for this build? The mobo must be black and blue and it has to be able to fit all of these parts AND be able to overclock the two GPUs and the CPU. ATX pls... Thx

 

ASRock Z97 Extreme6. Their boards are very good this year, built 5 PCs on the H97M-Pro4 in March and all were great.
