djbe Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Not sure I am the typical user but here goes: I don't care about my computer looks, just how it performs. Having said that I would spend as little as I could get away with on the Mouse, Keyboard, and Speakers / Headset (if I wanted good sound I'd route it through my hi-fi - and motherboard's integrated sound cards have always been fine for me).CPU: If you want watercooling I guess you want to overclock, so 4770K (or wait for Devil's Canyon 4790K), MB: a "cheap" mid-range Z97 board (overclocking plus future-proofing with M2 / SATA-Express)RAM: As much as you can afford (although 16GB is probably enough) - my priority would be 1. more ram / 2. faster ram / 3. lower latency ramHD: Minimum 128GB SSD as main drive + 2 or 3TB HD (5400rpm probably enough) for main storageThat is probably getting on for £800 all in once you add in a decent PSU and graphics card though so depends on your budget Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
