    Looking to build something (not built anything for 12+ years but surely it's not changed that much? :)). Here's the template:

    What is your budget? [No upper limit but not looking to build the worlds best computer. 1500/2500 or so should be fine]

    2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? [World of Warcraft and Photoshop (professional level graphics not video at this point]

    3. Do you need a copy of Windows? [Yes]

    4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? [no bar a crappy 21" monitor, may look at something like the Predator monitor at a later date)

    5. Do you need a monitor? [No]

    5a. If yes, what size do you need. [N/A but will be looking at the Predator x34 at some point unless advised otherwise]

    5b. If no, what resolution is your current monitor and do you plan to upgrade in the near future?    [1440x900]

    6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Keyboard/Mouse/Wireless Card/Speakers.]

    7. Are you willing to try overclocking? [Yes at some point perhaps.]

    8. How can you pay? [Bank Transfer, Credit Card, Debit Card, Paypal]

    9. When are you purchasing? [next few days or weeks, no rush]

    10. If you need help building it, where are you based? [Amsterdam but should be fine!]

    Was looking at the following (stole some from another thread) but also don't know if all cables etc still come with cases so need some guidance on that.

    Samsung EVO 850 500Gb SSD x 2
    Nepton 240M CPU Water Cooler (no clue here tbh!)
    NZXT H440 case
    MSI z170A M7 ATX
    MSI GTX 970 4G nVidia 4Gb
    i7 6700k
    Western Digital 3Tb (Red). Looks like more a NAS drive? I couldn't find BLUE on the site I use here locally)
    EVGA 220 - G2 0750 PSU
    Ripjaws DDR4 16Gb (2x8) PC3000 CL15

    Advice appreciated, above comes to about 1900.00. May be making some silly choices above and also not really up to speed with GPU's anymore. Not really into hardcore gaming anymore (time constraints) but that may change too.

    Thanks for reading.
