Upgrade the gpu first
Yeah as I said I'm waiting for Vega, which is 1H 2017...can't stay on a 480 for ultrawide

I suppos you could do a CPU loop first but when you add in the GPU block you'll most likely have to re do some of it. So i would just wait.
Rule of thumb for rad space, 240mm for CPU and 120mm for each additional block. You may need a bit more if you go slim rads (30mm) depending on what you're cooling.
I would recommend soft tubing for your first build. There's soft tubing loops out there that look just as good or better than hard tubing loops.
Plan your loop ahead of time. Pepper ur Angus for a hole in your wallet
I've seen around the net that I can either drill the rivets out on the top drive bay (5.25") or seen other similar basic mods that enable a 420mm rad in the top, would this be viable for CPU+GPU?
Or would I be better with 360 (no mod required) and a 240 in the front?
From what I can see, this case has plenty of room for a nice, clean build.
Something like this:
I'm not going dual GPU, and I'm willing to spend the time it takes to get what I'm looking for.
What did you find to be the most difficult step when you first started?
I'm going to be doing this in a few months, but it looks like there's a lot of research involved so I figured I'd ask you guys
Do you think a budget of around £400-500 is reasonable?
