Hello,

I want to upgrade my computer(actually I replace almost everything, so its basically new computer xD )

The pieces I keep are:

GPU - GTX 770

Power supply - SeaSonic 620w

and 1T hard disk

 

so I want to buy new case, new cpu, new motherboard, new memory and custume water cooling system

I thought about this case:https://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/118-phantom-630.html

so I would glad if you please can help me choose the other parts :)

 

p.s my budget(including the water cooling and the case) is 1650$

the case i chose noctis for the fact that you chose nzxt case earlier and this will have a bigger side panel which will look way nicer with custom water cooling inside.

 

Btw all this suggestion is just tailored for the fact that you are keeping those component and i am not gonna ask why. But personal real recommendation for upgrading will be upgrading gpu also. with 1650 selling of your 770 will easily be a more performance per dollar upgrade than this. This is just me pushing the logic limit of your budget.

Do you want a gaming rig, or a workstation. What do you play?

 

My current CPU is Intel i5 750 2.67Ghz

I don't wanna upgrade my GPU currently becuase I upgraded it 2 years ago.

and I want gaming rig

I play fps games like arma3, bf4 and more...

You want to upgrade your GPU, or you'll be limited in the games and setting you can play.

If anyone asks you never saw me.

then go with i5 6600k instead of 6700k then. That's all and you are golden.

2GB

Maybe in a year I would upgrade the GPU but now I don't want to.

Hmm, anyhow should be fine in 1080p as long as you turn some vRAM hungry settings.
