£1500 PC build

[Afro_Lamb]

Hi there i have thought of my own build (inc Monitor/Keyboard/OS) for someone who is 40% content creator/PC Enthusiast 60% Gamer but i want to know what other options i have

I would like

- Boot SSD i can store a few games/useful applications/OS on

- HDD for large files (Video etc)

- GPU power for gaming

- CPU power for Rendering/Animating/CPU intensive games

- Overclockable CPU/Motherboard 

- Wireless as i cant use wired

- Case that can support custom liquid cooling 

- Power Supply with upgradibilty

- MUST come within £1500 budget (willing to be flexible)

- Good looking case

 

(ALready chosen peripherals/ already gotten mouse)

This case is a terrible choice at this budget, get a Define S. A source 210 won't be great for custom water cooling.

 

Get less RAM and a R9 fury (non-x) or a 980ti (at least a R9 390X).

Get a 980/980ti if you're willing to up the total a bit more, given you're doing somewhat intensive gaming (like GTA and above)

 

edit: Also, get a S340 or something (if you want to stay in the NZXT category), the Source 210 is rlly boring and dated imo

970 imo is not enough anymore. once you are to own one u will be upset that you got that instead of 980/980ti coming from an AMD fan. i run 2-390x's to finally be happy with my framerate.
