so, classic "i want to build a pc" post. :P   Now, simply, i have a 1800$ budget. I did a prototype parts list, but i know i am far from the most knowledgeable on this forum on this kind of thing, so there is the partpicker link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rBh9Mp
 
i would like to know if you see problems with it, if you would change anything, or am i simply stupid and my build is absurd and or my parts are unbalanced.
 
 
 
post scriptum: before you say the psu is overkill, i want to say that i will eventually add another gpu and will overclock! i already have all peripherals.
Also, i LOVE full tower cases, size is not questionnable! (i'm kind of compensationg for something :D )

 

 

for those who don't like links*, i attached a screenshot of the parts list

yeah the psu is the only thing i would change... when youre in your budget range i would go with the g2 supernova from evga also you might want to look at either a 650 or a 850, if you plan on going sli with the gpu in the future you will need 850, but if not then 650 will be plenty for any single gpu set up 

 

one other thing to look at would be the cooler, check out the kraken x61

PSU can be change to EVGA G2/GS because its overpriced (Its your choice because two of them are good)

 

Othervise a really solid build. 

 

 

There's really not much that I would change here. It's a pretty well rounded build using modern technology. 

 

Thanks! :D

Jayztwocents recently posted a comparison of 3 AIO CPU water coolers. The Corsair H100i had the best cooling at stock settings, but the other 2 (EKWB Predator 240 and something else) weren't too far behind it and were quieter, with the EKWB offering the best performance at "silent" operational fan speeds.

 

Costs a bit more, but looks like the easiest thing to connect. (The one I cannot remember had cables everywhere.)
