Here's my current list:http://pcpartpicker.com/list/CRCM8K

It'll be watercooled in the future. Is there anything that I could do to trim off the price? Also I'm going with the new RX 480.

You don't really need the fans. That saves $30.

No SSD though? I'd get one of those in place of the fans.

You could probably find a cheaper motherboard.

 

I definitely wouldn't get a Green as a primary HDD.

Thanks, I do guess I could drop the fans. It's a yellow/black/white theme though.

Any tips on motherboard.

Not good, get a Z170 board or you won't be able to overclock.

Better PSU, don't use a Green as your primary HDD. What's your budget and what do you want to do?

Budget max would preferably be under $600 not counting graphics card. Be able to be OC'ed and watercooled later down the line. Black main, Yellow Secondary and White accents. Would love to be semi-VR ready by 2017. Also not building for a while.

If your not building for a while, wait to make the partlist when you are. Part prices fluctuate far too often to see an accurate partlist this early.

Ok, thanks.

This is kinda a reference to go by for me.
