Do you just have money to blow or something? This is much more expensive than it needs to be for just gaming.

 

This belongs in the New Builds and Planning section. I'm moving the thread.

Please post in the correct sub-forum in the future--do not keep dumping threads into General Discussion.

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/

yeh either or would be fine :P idk why but i always recommend 4x4 kits for some reason, and i cant be that wrong because tbh who really needs more than 16GB's of ram for gaming or even content creation like YT vids and photoshop

my parents dont give me money i make money ££££

You also seem to spend it like it's going out of style. There are more important things in life to spend money on, a good choice is a education.

No need for all the extra fans. But if you do get them, you might consider using the motherboard to control them.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

hello i have £3,000 to spend on a pc ive got this so far what should i changed? http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/DZWtyc

You should change most of it imo. You are wasting money in a few areas, namely RAM and CPU. You don't really need all those fans either.

 

This will give you the same performance in gaming for less money. You can add some CableMod braided cables and a Phanteks internal LED strip if you want to make it look nicer still.

Do you need a monitor ?

Parents who give stuff like that to there kids are shit parents in the long run.

While I must admit £3000 euros is a lot. I like lee32s suggestion. £1800 and he's getting a titan x and a 4790k. Im getting or well saving up for a $2000 pc around $4000 for the whole setup but I don't plan on getting all this at once. Just a nice pc and monitor with a new desk. Lol Id never give my kid a £3000 pc.
