Thanks for the suggestions,
I do have a budget but it wasn't as though I was asking for lower end, it still ended up being over 3000. I think online prices might be better but I'm just not sure I can physically build the thing myself.
Thanks for the brand suggestions on the 970 and motherboard.
I think I'll have to be shopping around a bit more.
I don't really know much about cooling, is liquid cooling a big deal? Do you have a suggestion for what to look for in a liquid cooled set up?
Thanks again
