Better CPU, GPU and SSD than what you had while sarificing on wattage of PSU, motherboard but it still costs the same :P 

 

On a side note, if you're planning to watercool then what you ideally want is either a custom GPU with blocks already existing for them or a reference PCB card...

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What? As I said, there seriously is nothing here :)

@deXxterlab97 why not a SSD? OP's original build only contained a 250GB SSD anyway :P 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

because of color. op original build has a 480

Fair enough :P 

 

Don't worry, I'm one of these people who will spend more dorrah for a white and blue build ;) 

We need more white PCBs...

I was eyeing the mx300 but put in mx200, was thinking of getting a gtx 1070 ftw to then later slap a block on....

thanks for submission :D

Would rather keep an i5 as its cheaper so i can have better psu and plus 4 cores is enough for my workload.

Thanks
