Still looking for a video card to throw in. Couldn't find a decent white one.

Question: Will the Deepcool cpu cooler i have listed be suitable? It looks like i would need to attach the radiator to the front of the case and curious if that would work and if it would reach ok?

My list will probably need to be tweeked to as i'm not the best at picking the best build

What is wrong with the Asus SABERTOOTH?

This isn't a budget pc LOL

I'm going for a good pc to last me a while and have it look solid (white / black)

Thanks g-unit I took some of your considerations into mind. Below is the 'finished' build so far... any other suggestions?

I just caught wind of M.2 SSDs , but from the looks of things, i think that would be a bit overkill, yay or nay?

I added some front case fans, changed the case to white (as I want a white build)
Added my mouse to match my keyboard (razor stealth keyboard)

1. I wouldn't worry about the case fans because your case should come with plenty to start with. You can always add those later and NZXT's built in fan controller on the S340 makes it really easy to add more as you need them.

2. Not necessarily. For your uses if you're going to be doing some heavy duty audio recording / production then having the fastest SSD you can will help to dramatically reduce load times. The M2s and especially Samsung NVMe is some of the best you can get for the money right now. I have that same drive in my system and it runs great.

Just snagged the GTX 1080 FTW.

Question - now that i'm adding all the stuff to the carts, I found this :
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820156083&ignorebbr=1

Will I notice a significant difference in performance from this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233716

Just trying to go with a more themed base build. And the ram matches nearly perfectly.

Thanks!

I will press the checkout button when I hear back from someone with a reasonable opinion/suggestion

WEEEEEEEE New PC time!

I think that's the 1070 that Newegg has in stock, I haven't seen any 1080s come in and I'm trying to get one for my rig but have been having no luck.

I'd go for the Crucial RAM if its' available in DDR4-3000.

Thats what i just checked-out : EVGA GTX 1080 FTW. Still in stock too.

I'll check for that ram. (actually, my motherboard only supports DDR4 2400/ 2133)

The Corsair Vengeance LPX RAM sticks are a much better looking white by the way. Also a Asus Dual GTX .... would be great for a white build. There is also a GPU called Hall Of Fame. Not available in my area though. Also a Corsair H100i v2 or GTX is probably the best AIO liquid 240mm on the market.
