Thanks guys for your insightful comments. It really helped me a lot. I revised my setup a bit after taking into consideration some of your remarks and doing a bit of additional research on my own. 1. Thanks to Campy, I replaced the Define S case with the Meshify C. I simply love how this case...

Thanks DaveSimmons. Yup, I think I'll be fine without OC. I still want to go with an AIO cooler. At least just for the look (I hate those big HSF monsters). The RAM I put in my original post (Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200) is overkill? And for the mobo, thanks for the advice. Will wait to...

Thanks Campy and DaveSimmons for your answers. Yup, you're right, my mistake. Wanted to say a normal window, not a tempered glass one. Do you think that having the radiator front with two fans working as intake, with two fans on the top and one fan on the rear as exhausts is a good solution...

I'm using an AIO for the CPU cooling anyway. I know it might be overkill since I'm not planning to do crazy overclocking, but I simply prefer the aesthetics better. DaveSimmon, You made a point. I actually reviewed my storage configuration. I ditched the hybrid and replaced it with a Samsung...

Thanks VirtualLarry and whm1974 for your replies. First thing, I made myself confused and also confused people with the PCI-E lanes limitation thingy... I will - in any case - benefits from the 16* CPI-E lanes for my GPU since I'll leverage the CPU CPI-E lanes by mounting the GPU on the first...

Indeed. The Samsung 960 Evo 1TB one. Leaving me only with the choice of running my GTX1080TI on a *8 PCIe slot.

Hmm, you make a point. Now I'm seriously considering switching to Coffee Lake after seeing some preliminary benchmark. Still have to dig on a decent mobo for this arch though... And have someone alleviate my concerns on the 16* cpie lanes...

whm1974, Shifting from a 14nm to 10nm. I'll be honest with you, I don't know how "great" it is (still a newbie). But it seems to be actually quite a thing within the specialized press. A larger number of PCIe lanes is actually my concern (see Q.1 in my original post.) To be honest with you...

whm1974, Thanks for your reply. Well, it's always the same story right. How long are you willing to wait in order to get the latest tech and save some bucks. The Coffee Lake might last for years. Release is expected next month . However, as far as I know, the performance upgrade with Coffee...

Hello builders and enthusiasts, I'm designing my new rig for the end of 2017 - early middle 2018. It's the first time for me to build a system from scratch. But I've read a lot and tried to keep myself updated with the new trends. I put together a few parts (pc part picker link below) and will...
