PC Revamp/up grade reccomendations

[Craig_Thomas_Scott]

Hi guys,

 

i'm planning to upgrade my gaming set up with a new ultra wide monitor, and i decided my tower also needs an upgrade/revamped look.

The main purpose of the build is to make sure i can make the most of my new monitor set up, i have limited space and will need to mount

any monitor with a big footprint on my desk as i lack desk depth due to room constraints.I am keen to keep the white/blue colour scheme

for a ice/frost sort of look, I'm a aesthetics whore sorry and want my system to be as quiet as possible as it will be sitting right next to me.

I also live in the UK The main purpose will be for gaming with scope for potentially going into streaming and or video editing. But if i can

just get  nice raw performance for the sake of it that wouldn't bother me money isn't too much of an issue but i don't want to just spend

money for the sake of it. I will also be looking to build my own custom water loop for this system at some point next year but that will be

a different project, once again many thanks on any suggestions.
