Build Recommendations ($6500)

Hi, I am building a new computer that I am going to use partly for high end gaming but mostly for things like After Effects and some CPU/GPU intensive tasks.

 

I've been watching Linus's videos on how to build computers with water cooling but I am mainly interested in wether the set of components I chose is the right one.

 

I am looking at the price of around $6500 (5000 GBP) with monitor.

 

Maybe you guys could suggest where to buy all the cooling stuff from (In UK).

 

The current set of components:

Why all from overclockers? You may be able to get them cheaper elsewhere.

A great resource when building PCs is http://www.pcpartpicker.com/

 

It'll make sure everything is compatible (to a certain degree) and find the lowest price for each of the components based off of trusted retailers.

Looks pretty good here. Dual monitors, dual graphics cards, this should do it. Just get yourself some Noctua fans or something like that to go on the Kraken X61, and get some more case fans and you should be good.

That is nearly £6000 on UK pcpartpicker. Also not sure why the op would need 2 x 165Hz monitors.

Yeah,he said 5000 GBP which is $6,500 USD and this goes under USD. I prefer two monitors so I just used the same one twice. You could always get a cheaper one.
