    I recently sold my old PC, so naturally I'm looking to upgrade now.
    I've made out a lost of parts that I was looking at :
    ASUS Maximus VI Hero C2 - €174.99
    Intel core i5 4670K - €209.00
    Corsair RM850 modular PSU - €138.16
    Corsair obsidian 750d - €156.18
    Corsair vengeance pro red 8gb 2133mhz - €95.44
    I know that the mobo is overkill, but I'm going for that red/black colour scheme and honestly, its so cool! I will probably pick up a hyper 212 evo and later switch to water cooling when I have funds. I already have an MSI R9 280X and a 120gb ssd. Monitor not need.
    Just looking for any advice/ recommendations
    Thanks!

    Overspending in most areas I'd say.

    If you want a red/black color theme grab the msi z87 g45 gaming board for €132.

    I assume you plan on going with dual cards with that power supply and case?

    A 750d I'm sure has lot's of space for cable management. If you wanted to save money you could go for a cheaper non modular psu and just hide the cables well in the case.

    That extra ram speed will make no difference in games. You could pick up red/black g-skill 1600mhz ram for around €70.

    The 650d is a nice case but imo it's not worth the money when you can get the Nanoxia deep silence one significantly cheaper. HWVS sell the windowed version now as well. It's a big midi tower not far off a full tower and feature wise it's just as good if not better than the 650d. Worth considering anyway.

    You could easily save enough there to grab a decent air cooler like the Thermalright macho hr-01 or something like the corsair h100i if you want water.

    Yes, I intend to grab another 280x in the near future. In would honestly prefer to pay the premium for a modular PSU, after my last one I just think they're invaluable and make the system look tidier overall. The z87 g45 was an alternative I was looking at alright, it looks like a nice board. I would prefer to buy off komplett or dabs as I can pay with my debit card there!
