case: corsair obsidian 350d

psu: corsair hx850

cpu: i7 4770k

motherboard: asrock z87 oc m-itx

memory: corsair vengeance 4x4gb

gpu: undetermined

hdd: wd 1tb

cooling: 2 bitfenix spectre pro red led 120 (front)

cooling: 2 bitfenix spectre pro black 140 with 280mm radiator(top)

pump: swiftech mcp655-b

reservoir: phobya balancer 250

radiator: koolance dual 140mm copper

Cpu block: koolance cpu-380i

tubing: primoflex advanced lrt 1/2" x 3/4"(blue)

compression fittings: 6 enzotech 3/8" id x 1/2" od

fluid: feser one non conductive

lighting: logisys dual 12" cold cathode(red)(front) nzxt sleeved led kit(blue)

so I'm trying to get the most out of the cpu and I'm going for a red/blue cooler theme. thought I would take out the bottom Hdd cage and use a 5.25 to 3.5 converter for the hdd so I could fit the pump and reservoir where the cage is and I thought that I could make the front glow red by fitting dual cathode's in the front on ether sides of the fans.

feedback would be nice. thanks

What are you using this build for also why are you getting an M-ITX motherboard in a M-ATX case? you should also get a much smaller psu and add in an ssd definitely

thanks for catching my error (there's a reason I asked for feedback) that Mobo is an m-atx I just typed it wrong.

I want it for show off... I don't think that's many people's reasons but I want to get high ghz in a smaller case... and I want it to look cool

ah okay that makes more sense what is it you will be using the pc for though gaming, video editing etc? But with how much you are spending definitely get an ssd and do you plan on adding a gpu in the future

I have no price tag, gaming and what ssd would you recommend? and I know that a good graphics card is a must for gaming but I'm waiting for amd to release the Hawaii series

If you are doing that then just wait until the 9000 series is closer to release to ask for advice on your build since prices change I would recommend a 840 evo 250gb for os and some games and just get 8gb of 1600mhz memory and a 4670k or fx8350 if the build is just for gaming also will you be cooling the gpu as well if so a 280mm rad won't be enough or at least won't be recommended

+1 on 8GB ram and a 4670k/8350. Also, wait for the 9000 series and plan then.
