hi there,
just as always a bit feedback which games are u planing to play, is it going to be just for gaming? where do u live, and ur budget

and i would add just one more question to start, are u going to use ur optical drive often? if u answer is " how am i going to install windows" u can do it from a usb

[Valspar]

Hey ,

Having the Optical driver does bother me at all. I know it doesn't really fit the best in the 750D, But not much of a concern.

Just wanting peoples options on the build.

I'll be playing WoW, and hopefully any new FPS games that come out. Live in Australia. And the Budget is $2200

If you're just gaming, you don't need 16GB, nor will it really offer you anything at all, other than, you know, just sitting there doing practically nothing. Either way, here's an alternative if you still plan on it http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-625-_-Product

Only other thing is, if you're going to buy Windows, get Windows 8.1, then install Classic Shell and adjust the look to whatever you prefer. I've been using 8.1 for a couple months now and I've had no problems at all.

This is an air cooler instead of AIO water.
8GB RAM unless you need 16GB for some reason.
Better PSU.
R9 290 on par with 780 while being $100 less expensive.

u should buy the noctua nh-d15 as cpu cooler and then u can save the money from the 2 extra fans for the radiator, and besides, the corsair and nzxt they have a lousy, cheap and mediocre mounting set, the back plate is made of plastic which they are very very easy to strip, not to mention all the defects the AIO water cooling pumps and blocks might have ( u might be lucky and get one that will work perfectly)
in performance they are practically the same, ive found more reviews where noctua wins , u might find reviews with either corsair or nzxt or other brand wins, but most of them the temp. dif is between 1°-2° and idle and load,
also noctua gives u 6 years warranty, and free tube of cpu paste which is also a very good one, and kit with extension cables, low noise adapters, and Y cables
