Hi, before I tell you what I need help with I want to explain my current situation. I'm 14 and I was interested in building my own gaming computer last August but what ended up happening was my dad didn't like the idea of me building a computer (as I could ruin it) and requested that I got a laptop instead. So, I got the lenovo y410p and I hated it. My dad has told me that if I was able to raise some money he would let me get it, along with selling this laptop.
So here is my parts list http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Vammly/saved/3zSq
I am planning on building this around Fall this year, but i just wanted as many of my questions to be answered any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated, thankyou.
1.First of all how much do you think I could sell the Lenovo Y410p for and how could I raise the other ~600?
2. What are my other choices for motherboards under $150 I am looking to overclock my cpu to 4-4.5 ghz, sli 760's in the future, good/great integrated audio, and great wifi (my laptop had a problem with this at first took away from the enjoyment), also the mobo that I picked had this feature where boot times were a few seconds, and I would like if it was futureproof.
3. Is water cooling something I should look into? I am scared of damaging the components though so I would prefer air cooling.
4. What better air coolers are out there which run pretty quietly?
5. I have selected the 760 so that i can sli in the future, but I am trying to future proof this system so should I lean towards the 770 or the 280x because of mantle?
6. Should I go with the Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 or the design r4? Those are the cases I like the most but any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks! If there is any information I have not included which could be helpful just ask
