Hi, and welcome to the forums.

Looks like a great spec you've got there. Although if you're not going to be overclocking you can change your CPU down to the non K variant and also your RAM could be changed to the Samsung 1333Mhz option. You won't notice the difference in performance unless you overclock.

Also, what will you be using the PC for? As you may find 4Gb of RAM is enough

Also if you are not overclocking you can drop the water cooling and get the Titan Fenrir cooler and you also have no risks of water leaks.

What are the chances of water leakage and how do you usually take care of the liquid cooling system ?

After talking with you Fear I have made changes to my order ..

Item 1 Change to TITAN FENRIR EVO EXTREME HEATPIPE CPU COOLER (£39) from COOLIT ECO II A.L.C (ADVANCED LIQUID COOLER) (£59)

Item 2 Change to CORSAIR 1050W PRO SERIES™ HX1050-80 PLUS® SILVER MODULAR (£162) from CORSAIR 750W ENTHUSIAST SERIES™ TX750 V2-80 PLUS® BRONZE (£86)

Item 3 Change to 3GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 580 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready from 1.5GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 580 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready


I didnt want to take water leakage risk .. then I realized 3gb geforce gtx 580 is only 35£ more so i said why not ..

Thank you for your opinion .. I like my new pc even better know ...

You will have a very nice system there ;) just 1 last thing you might want to think about is buying a set of homeplugs instead of getting the wireless card as i have found them to be completely reliable and worth a little extra over wireless and the connection issues i had anyway enjoy your new PC when you get it.
