June 2016 - Upgrade Time

[The Procrastinator]

In roughly 3 months time I plan to upgrade my pc, I have a budget of £1750. Here is the pcpartpicker link of the components I have drafted: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/9zphnQ

I have decided to start planning for it now, because it means by the time I get to building the machine, I will be able to build it knowing that I have found the best balance between looks, price, and performance. I will re-use a few components from my current build. I was hoping that you could give me feedback on my component choice, and maybe suggest some alternatives if you feel that I will benefit from the change.

new parts are coming out then, its best to plan your build then

its never a good idea to plan a pc too early, try planning it 1 month before, or a day before would be the best

but for now, your build is pretty solid, but i would up that cpu cooler to a h100i for better looks and performance

and ditch the extra fans, your case already comes with 4 and thats enough (for me atleast, n450 fan club yey)

get 2 850 evo SSD to display on the 2.5inch mount on the psu shroud (or 850 for for the black and red look, instead of black and grey)

i'd up the pg278q to pg279q, but i would want the pg348q ultimately

I would look at something like this, I switched a few things around to fit in a 980ti, which you will need to run that monitor effectively (I'm using 970 SLI for my Asus RoG Swift = same performance)

Thanks for all the replies, I neglected to mention that the gpu was just place holder for the gtx 1080 (or whatever they call it in the end), Moonzy I like the idea of the SSDs, hopefully I can get some more money together and get those but with GCSEs fast approaching, I won't be able to find much time to do many extra jobs. Thank you again for all the replies so far <3
