Hey guys, i've got my future pc (christmas) build nearly fully planned, BUT i need help with some finishing bits.

Ive gone with a black and red themed build ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9fJYD3%C2'> But i have seen some finished builds with very similar specs and the builds look so empty,plain and the cables look horrible. Have you got any ideas on how to pimp the pc a bit so the cables look better or so it isn't so empty looking. I was thinking of adding some sexy purple led lights to give it a purple edge. Any ideas, recommendations on parts, cheap sleeved cables or just help  :huh: would be great, thanks

Your build appears to be missing a power supply, I'd suggest going for a 1000W unit if you plan to crossfire in the future and get a 4k monitor.

 

 

Otherwise, only thing to do would be to shoot for a custom loop, probably hardline tubing over regular old tubing.

but ya know, get the 4k monitor and second 390 first, before blowing your load on a custom water cooling loop

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

Where is your power supply?  :huh: 

I think Bitfenix had that one PSU which came with sleeved black cables. So that might worth a look.

he does not need 1000ww for crossfire. 850w max.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

"blowing your load" That came out wrong. punintended  :P 

 

definitely go with upgrades first rather than any form of custom loop

You might as well get a 1000W PSU though, plenty of headroom, no need to worry about stressing it much.

 

 

Any help, anyone?

Also if you're going to go for a custom loop in the future with crossfired cards you may want to shoot for a 390x instead, since it'll generally overclock better.
