Hey FP.
I'm currently in the market for a new gaming rig!
But since I've been out of the loop since fucking 2008, I don't know jack about what's what anymore.
This is where you fine bunch of people come into play.
I've got about €900 to €1k (1k tops) to drop on this bad boy.
I reside in The Netherlands and I'd prefer the use of [url]www.azerty.nl[/url] as it's the best bang-for-buck site I know of that's still trustworthy, I've ordered from them before and it was smooth sailing from the get-go.
Now that parts that I already have are as follows.
Monitor.
Sound system.
Sound card.
Peripherals.
Hard drives.
Big-ass muhfuggen Cooler Master Cosmos S case to hold this nasty work in one piece.
So FP, you think you're a bunch of bad enough dudes to help a brother out?

Altogether, these parts will cost you approximately €779.49, plus however much shipping will be (not really sure how it works in the Netherlands, I'm afraid). While I did choose a motherboard with a chipset that will allow for overclocking, the CPU is, unfortunately not overclockable as there is no K version of the 4690 available yet. You can hold off and wait for Intel to release the 4690K if you really want to, but if you'd prefer to start overclocking as soon as possible, you can grab the [url=http://azerty.nl/8-5654-620113/intel-core-i5-4670k-3-4-ghz-6-mb-cache-lga1150-socket-doos.html]i5 4670K[/url] for €199.90 instead.
Why do you need Thermal Paste with a non overclockable CPU?

I already realized the mistakes I made in the other thread, but thanks for reminding me about what I did here. Nightrazr, if you haven't gone and purchased those parts yet, here's a revised list for you that makes a little more sense (can't edit the other post for some reason).
If you want to overclock now or in the near future:

(Since this build list does not have overclocking in mind, you do not need an aftermarket CPU cooler or any thermal compound unless you find your CPU is running too hot under load, which isn't very common with Intel CPUs at factory speeds.)
Alright done me some orderin'
