So to celebrate the fallout 4 release I will be upgrading from my c2s machine to something more powerful, my plan is to make it as powerful (in my budget) as possible, max budget is $2800nzd, I'll be gaming and video editing on this machine.

It will be in the design/colour scheme of graphics card picture below and some of the pictures.

What I'm asking:

What can be improved

What's a good case for modding that will fit what I need and has a side panel and is ATX and up

Currently I'm thinking about the be quiet! Silent base 800. Corsair c70, cooler master Haf xb evo, and the fractal design r5.

Any opinions on the cases, build, and idea.

It'll probably be more expensive 200+ because of availability and the general cost of the unit

You can get a Corsair H100i GTX instead of an aircooler (it's $32 over your budget.)

 

But the build is good!

 

​8/10 :)

 

 

 

So I've Changed The Build A Little To Add In Skylake Support And Im Wondering How Can I Save As Much Money As I Really Want To Change My Budget To Be Cheaper, Keep In Mind Im Gaming At 1080p/1440p, Video Editing, 3D Modeling And Doing School Stuff
