If you're doing an over the top custom water cooling loop, then full tower. Otherwise, whichever you like the aesthetics of better.

Yeah unless your doing custom water loops and have a huge reservoir, drainage system and crazy tubing with several gpus and a load of fans on the tower, a mid tower is more than enough.

Just repost whatever you want to ask here. 

 

And you have to use the PCPP link that's right above the parts list. The link in the URL bar is a generic link.

The URL in the URL bar is NOT the correct link. That is a generic link that doesn't show me anything other than my own PCPP build. 

 

You have to copy the link that's directly above the parts list labeled: 'permalink'

I highly recommend getting your Windows 10 from Kinguin, as their products are a lot cheaper.

 

Your Build:                      |   Kinguin:

Win10  Home OEM  $88 | Win10 Home OEM $28 OR Win10 Pro $31

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

Ok guys got the new specs:http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ZJ2Dqk

Now i just need your help to get it in my price range

The build I linked is better than that one. 

 

Go with a 1070 if your priority is rendering/3d modelling (and if those programs can utilize 6 cores). Then you'll be under budget.

On all 3

seems like you'll be fine with a GTX 1080. Just looked up the benchmarks for 5760x1080 and they're fine.
