Hi guys.

 

Planning to build a new small factor gaming and work pc.

For the case I will be using the Phanteks Enthoo Evolve matx or the smaller Evolve ITX.

For the GPU either the 980ti hybrid or the Fury X (still have to decide from a performance/price point).

For the cooler a CM Nepton 240m.

 

I haven't decided for the motherboard and the rest of the  components.

i live in the UK so if you have any suggestions for this build please post some options.

Also If I am able to stay around £1500 - 1600 budged that would be great, maybe even lower considering I need to buy other peripherals. 

 

Thanks, much appreciated.

The CM Nepton is a noisy CPU cooler (unless you change the stock fans). Get a Corsair H100 instead.
