Build Ideas

[TCates90]

Here goes...

I've built Alpha (specs in sig) as a first custom build to see whether or not I can build and OC a rig. It works and I'm happy with it.
I'm thinking the next step for me is to build one that's quiet and possibly watercooled (again, to see whether I can manage).
I would like some ideas for specs; similar to Alpha, but not so much overkill in some parts!

Though not set in stone, I have a few ideas about it;
-Primary purpose is gaming
-Full-sized case. Preferably with a window, so I can admire the interior
-Intel CPU, preferably watercooled
-I would like to stick with a 7850 or similar
-At least one SSD
-It's quiet

I realise this is probably a bit to ask, but for now, I'm bouncing ideas around and seeing what happens.

Any good Z77 board.
Case choice is very subjective, I like Corsair and BitFenix cases.
Samsung 830 SSD.

That's what I would go for atleast.

Interesting.
Why a Samsung SSD, rather than Corsair or OCZ?

Corsair and Bitfenix- both have their own range of good looking cases. I wasn't really thinking of any model in particular as the choice is massive

Lol OCZ... :yelrotflmao:

I own one myself, and they are the best bang for buck SSD's that are also very reliable. I don't know about Corsair SSD's, but I've had good experiences with Kingston also.
