I'd rather not start a build post off without some pics, but I need to lay out my plan and see if anyone has some advice. Obviously I'm building a G3 and I would like to keep it as stock and clean from the outside as possible. I'll be using this mostly for Photoshop, design work, and basic day to day stuff. My basic parts list is below. I'm trying to stay budget minded and haven't even added a video card to my list yet.
G3 B&W case
i5 3570K (I don't initially plan to do any overclocking)
GA-Z77X-UD5H
CORSAIR Vengeance LP 16GB (2 x 8GB for now. I'll do 32GB later)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD
Power Supply 600W or better. Currently looking at a Cougar DX600. Not much info on this unit, but it looks like it will fit the space well. Any advice?
CORSAIR Hydro Series H60. I'm also looking at the Swiftech H220 that's coming out. I think I'll need some good cooling, as the G3 doesn't have much airflow.
Blutooth Dongle
Magic Mouse
Wireless keyboard
Optical Drive? Not really wanting one, and I think they may not be too useful.
23" Monitor? Still looking at moderately priced brands.
Front Port Interface
Misc Parts (rear IO plate etc)
Let me know what else you think I should be looking at. I'll keep searching this site and others for ideas and reviews of parts and setups.
