Hey everyone, i'm planning on a new build thats medium / high budget (the lower, the better ) Some might have seen my "Black Widow" themed build which is what i like to do, make theme-based builds. Anyways, my next project is a "NVIDIA" themed build. Let me know your thoughts for the parts i chose, any changes I should make, and concerns . Remember: This is a black and green theme.

Here's my list:

Motherboard: Gigabyte G.1 Guerilla 1336- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128481&Tpk=gigabyte guerilla

CPU: Intel Core i7 940 @ 2.93GHz

Video Card: EVGA GTX 285 (w/ evga hydro block WC)

Power Supply: Corsair 750-watt. (Should be more than enough, no?)

Case: Cooler Master 690 NVIDIA Edition (Thinking if i should get that or something else and mod it?)

WaterCooling: Custom. (Think it will work with the CM690?)

RAM: Not sure yet, maybe some G.Skill

Thanks everyone for taking a look, let me know if I should make any changes to this list.

You know what, now that i think about it, i guess color of video card doesn't really matter. If I'm gonna water cool then i might as well water cool the video card too.
 
If you are getting an i7 you should get a modern video card. One from this generation will walk all over 2 9800s. Do you have the cpu? I don't even know if you can buy a 920 anymore. I know that newegg has the 950 for the same price as the 920 when I bought mine.
 
also the mobo link is a bad request, second time i've seen this this week, and the other was the first time i'd seen one, but also you could prob try to find a 1155 in those colors so you can get the 25/600k
 
Sorry, I replaced the link, hopefully it works now. But yeah, I was looking for an 1155 mobo in those colors but couldn't find one. The cards I'll probably switch to something out and I'll get a waterblock for it.
 
assuming that you were going to get a 960, and you go instead with this board and the $60 cheaper 2500k, you will end up with the same end price.
 
good catch wolfe, idk y but earlier when looking around i was thinking you had an amd setup, had 2 threads open i think.
 
Ok, made some revisions to the list. Still sticking with 1336 though but I'll have to see. Also, is it a bad idea to go with some used parts, such as the 285?
