A pretty standard build

[blackrecon117]

HI,

 

I am a student in the UK with a bit of money to spend, I am looking for the better than necessary PC with a little flair, firstly I should say the budget I have about £2000 which is quite a lot   and is not set in stone I have a lot of leeway but this does include the cost of two monitors which i will refer to later , secondly why am I here I need help I am really struggling amazingly to find the components for my all blue themed build, I do know roughly what i want firstly the most important component the GPU i was looking at a GTX 1070 with a i7-6700K the next thing is the case I know I want something very much like a Prodigy M case with the window. after this I have no idea of course the prodigy M is a micro ATX case and i can't really find the correct mother board any suggestions for the rest of the components would be fantastic. for the screens I am looking at quite a weird set up firstly a ultrawide screen, secondly a 40+" HD TV I like this to be a little higher end cos I love that color depth and lots of richness rather than 4k or low latency, I do play some competitive games but nothing that demands low latency. any specific suggestions or comments would be much appreciated thank you.

Would you rather it be MATX, ATX, or ITX?

[blackrecon117]

[vladonizer]

[blackrecon117]

[vladonizer]

[blackrecon117]

You shouldn't have issues with the CPU cooler and RAM because you can take the front fan on the cooler and put it on the back or off

[blackrecon117]

What are you going to be using this computer for?

 

also, please don't go for a TV as a monitor

Well if he wants plasma though I didn't see it in 2x8 and it really won't effect the performance a very noticable amount

[blackrecon117]

I use my desktop for Anything from video editing to 3d modeling to streaming to music and alot of movie stuff hence the Tv also I have alsways used A TV as a monitor its jsut how I do it and the ultra wide will be like a closer screen basicly next year me and all my mates will be going to live in a house together so all the pcs in the living room so the ultrawide will be my like close monitor near the couch and the tv on the wall with all the other tvs 

 

hope that helps

[blackrecon117]

The fins on the cooler will overhang at least one ram slot and the Avexir ram is pretty tall.

I think he would be better going with a water cooler if he decides on the Avexir ram. That way he won't have to worry about any clearance issues.
