Hi! I bought a PC from PC Specialist 10 years ago, and it's started to be left behind a bit (although still doing an astounding job... the 4790k is an excellent CPU!).
I'm looking at buying something nice, and have come up with the below. Not sure on the number of fans, whether the motherboard is good enough or if it is worth paying for a better one and getting better RAM (I believe the one I chose only allows up to 5600mhz RAM so that's why I chose that one.
Anyway, that's a lot of writing, so build to follow, and feedback welcome please!
