I didn't add any monitors as when you have a budget like that you should go for some really good monitor(s) rather that a cheap 1080p one. Perhaps read through this thread.
Could fit three of them into the budget and still be like 200euro under.

That's some expensive motherboard, 6 dimm slots and all.
If TheGunns is willing to splash out so much on a system, why not get some higher frequency (& nicer looking) RAM such as 1600mhz? Tbh I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference, but we're talking pimped out system in this price bracket.
Also, maybe get an even better version of the topline card, such as this o/clocked one http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=58057&agid=1156. It even comes with an added backplate for even more heat management

Yeah, I was debating between the Gen4 and Gen7, but was still 1500 under budget at that time and just thought I might as well. ( I never even looked at Socket2011 boards before now, they're a lot more expensive, cheapest one was 168euro)
I've already cleared the basket from hwvs, but I thought I put different RAM in.
And sure, I just saw the Gigabyte one was quite cheap, and would be in stock soon compared to the rest of them so I picked that one.0 -

Well I'm finalising my own pc build atm, and I have that o/c gtx680 card in mind, it doesn't seem to be in stock over in hwvs atm though. Delivery time > 7 days :mad:
Would 800W be increasing running costs unneccessily for this system though? the gpu recommends 550W supply, I'd have thought a 650W supply would be sufficient?
That case is nice though, I was thinking of the 500R carbide series for my own, not sure if the extra money for 600T graphite is worth the differnce though as they both seem to be good models

"It doesn't actually drain the full 800W, just whatever is needed to power everything. So even if he had a 1200W PSU, it would still be the same running cost as the likes of a 550W."
Thx for clarifying that, tbh I was worried about buying a higher rated one for that reason.
On every other forum I've been on everyone always recommends massive 850W PSUs, this seems to be the only place where people recommend as much as you need and no more
Stingy Irish people I guess

I don't know op... Do you really want to splash 3k on build. As much as I love high end pcs, at this age you are way better off making down to earth high end pc and them have few upgrades later on. With left over money take misses on holidays.
How massive job you want to do with your pc? Whatever it is I am prety sure some nice highish end 2600k with solid z77, 16gb ram and 1 or 2 680 ( maybe even better 2x7970 as it had a beautifull price drop just now) will do the job for many years and will leave you a lot of money for holidays, drink amd arse.
No point splashing 300eu on mobo or 500eu on CPU which will be just a fraction faster then stuff you can get for half the price. In the end when new stuff comes out it will have a very low value no matter what you payed for.
I think someone in here with very expensive ram can tell you more about this. 0 -
