Planning a build

[DonutTheCamel]

I'm planning to have all the parts in this part list bought and put together before roughly June. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/TqRMRB

I was wondering if there's any suggestions that someone would have as in using other parts or or other options.

What is your full budget? Also why do you want to do a custom loop on your CPU?

$2000 is my max, and I was wanting to do a custom loop because I planned on overclocking both the cpu and gpu.

Consider r9 380 4 gb

I would get a slightly beefier power supply, to allow for an upgrade path. 450W is fine for an i7 + GTX 960, but if you ever upgrade your GPU for example, you might be on the short side.

Would you recommend about a 750W?

Also about the aesthetic of it.

 

[Clanscorpia]

Unless your getting a 980 or higher its a waste of money to watercool, with the money you could get a better GPU and maybe even CPU

600W would be plenty, although it never hurts to have more than enough.

The main reason for the water cooling is 60% functionality and 40% aesthetic.

If you really care about the look of the water cooling check out the Swiftech H220x2 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835108216&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Liquid+%2F+Water+Cooling-_-N82E16835108216&gclid=CLOBj76-2soCFQyFaQodycsKfQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

It seems that you were wasting money on things that didnt need so much. For overclocking on the 980 Ti, use the custom water cooling from corsair and msi

Check out my build. I've reassigned the budget so that somehow everything is better

[DonutTheCamel]

Is there a way as to where I can still have my custom water cooling, but still have better stuff for under $2000?

No...you dont need a custom water cooling loop. I put on the H100i GTX because it can keep your cpu really cool. They are a pain to setup and pointless. I'd recommend what i said and then get the custom water block for the 980 Ti from corsair or get the R9 Fury (much less hassle to setup...)

The best build was my build (self-loathing)...not even kidding. For $100 more, I got you much better stuff (especially that 980 Ti)

What does the fam think of my build??
