Hi all,
Been outta the "game" for awhile (no, not WoW, just the game of building a computer).
I also know that now is a terrible time to build with prices / availability of certain items limited. But here goes.
What I think I want:
Case: A "bling" case that has FRONT (not top or side) USB and button access (need help here please)
Phanteks Enthoo-Pro
CPU: i7 8700k (easy pick)
Cooling: Noctua NH-D15? Or some water cooled NZXT one? Will the Noctua take away the bling from the look?
Yes the Noctua will ruin the bling look. Go for NZXT Kraken x62 or Corsair H100i/H110i
GPU: ASUS ROG Strix GTX1070 ti <<<availability / high price, very limited right now, but wiling to wait to find it.
If you go for the Gigabyte board, then go for the GeForce® GTX 1070 Ti Gaming 8GB Then you only need one Software to controll your mobo and GFX card and you just need one program to controll the LED lightning
Memory: which 3200 do I buy????
Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, G.skill, patriot. They are all good, so if you are going for the bling effect, then take the look you like the most
Mobo: I want a ASUS ROG Strix 370-e, but is the Gigabyte Gaming 7 the better one?
I will be buy a Dell monitor for gsync at 144
All depends on your budget. But if you can, then go for a IPS panel
I want a blue-hued look when done. =)
TIA for any help! =)
PS: long time lurker, but my last forum for questions like this dried up long ago and it this seems like a good place.
