Back again for help

Hello everyone at the digital storm boards I regret having to post again asking for help for a new build but since my last build failed to progress beyond concept this time I think it's actually going to go through all the way home in a few months.

Like before I have up to a $5000 budget from which the desktop, monitor, speakers, keyboard and shipping will be coming from. The build number is 725575

This computer is solely for gaming of the highest graphical degree. I play games from every genre but Skyrim is my favorite to play. I also intend on downloading the 2k res textures from Skyrim nexus which gives Skyrim a super deluxe ultra graphics mode for reference the website link to the mod is here

Edit: I chose the gtx690 and the cooling system the way it is because I honestly don't ever plan on changing/adding a graphics card or changing the processor and mobo. Also I chose the blue fans because I saw them on someone else's build and they looked pretty sick as well as I like how blue looks.

Hi storm0545 .... That build looks good to me.     Just want to say that water cooling does require maintenance in a year or so.      Not required for great gaming, but if your good with it then go for it.    It does look great.    Best of luck.    

If you want the power of the 690...I would honestly recommend SLi 680s instead, they're higher clocked and will provide you with better results than a single 690.

Also, if you're getting the LC system for looks, all good. But the Noctua D14 is an excellent AC system if you'd like to keep your computer on air.

Also I know last year i asked for your help previously Bprat and I value you chiming in once again. I couldn't get the desktop last year because Losing two family members (grandparents) in the same year funds needed to be reallocated to more necessary things. This year I'm aiming to have this beast delivered and running to enjoy this fall's line up of heavy hitters.

Originally posted by bprat22 Glad to see you back and sorry for your loss.    I lost three family members in a 14 month period several years ago so can feel the pain.     Keep us updated with your build progress.   This rig is gonna rock your games.

Out of curiosity what's the required maintenance like on liquid cooled systems?

Hi storm0545, how are you coming on your build?
