First Time Build with overkill :)

[Engineerd]

I have wanted to build a computer since college and now that I am gainfully employed, I feel that the time has come. I wanted to have a system that would be up-gradable (water cooling, another GPU etc) at a later date. Any constructive input would be great to hear. And maybe a suggestion of a pair of monitors would be nice.

 

Thanks!

The V8 is overpriced for what it is.  I have one.  The Hyper 212 is better and much cheaper.

Just remember, there's no such thing as overkill if you have the cash to back it up.

Looks great! Can't really think of much to criticize about it, except I would go with a Logitech keyboard and mouse combo or a corsair keyboard and mouse combo, but not one of each.

I appreciate the aesthetics of the V8, does the Hyper 212 offer better cooling?

Slightly better yes. The difference is minimal at best though.

Thanks. I will look more into matching a mouse and keyboard.
