I'm probably building a new pc next month and I'm dropping it here to get your opinions.
| CPU | Intel Core i7-6700K |
| Motherboard | Asus Z170-A |
| RAM | Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3200 16GB |
| Case | Fractal Design R5 (Titanium, window) |
|
Power Supply |
Corsair RM750x |
| CPU Cooling | NZXT Kraken x41 |
| Extra | NZXT HUE+ |
| NZXT Grid+ V2 |
I'll be using some parts from my old PC, including 2 SSDs, 2 HDDs, and an R9 Fury
What are your opinions?

sure you need the i7? What will you be doing other than gaming and coding? I suppose rendering isnt your forté
you can shave off some cash by buying a corsair RM750. You dont need the 850 watts, really! you can spend the extra money on a better case!

@Exhi, I definitely need an i7 for the compiling
@Dynamic, typo, was already going for the 750 watt version. What's wrong with the case though? I didn't pick this one because it's cheap.

Listen I dont know much bout cases n stuff but that's a one ugly pooper looking case. Sorry bro.
Its a minimalistic case Jenx. As long as it has the mounting points and space available you need its fine.
I understand it's a good case, well built, expensive and will serve kiwi's needs. Im just (pointlessly) saying it's ugly
And please dont think im into those flashy neon green white orange rainbow badass words written all over the case glassy "gaming" cases haha 
it is a cheap case? I have seen that case bafore and didnt like it for the features it has. I just find it weird that you spend money on quite a bit of lighting effects and then get a case like that

Any reasons on why? I think they both don't look clean enough to me though.

Great build quality. awesome room to work with. good looking design and cooling. It might not have the noise canceling foam but it sure is an awesome case

Those both looking really fine, sporting the gaming-classy look
Kiwi plz build your case out of red block translucent legobricks only. Other than that your build looks ok for a beginnner. If you want some tips on how to go pro plz follow this guide

Oh hey kiwi, i was just responding to "what do you propose". Otherwise, your case is really fine and there's nothing wrong with it. I just happen to like this The Phanteks Enthoo Evolve ATX TG one, Linustechtips did a review on it
It looks better than most cases, but not good enough to spend €80 extra instead of the Define R5

Parts have been ordered, build will start tomorrow

So apparently ASUS lies about the amount of internal USB 2.0 headers, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to completely finish the build. It's working/looking great so far though!

Yeah, those cables will be fixed in the final build, I had to do some workarounds right now. Still wondering where I should put most of them though.

Pro tip: shove em all behind the mobo tray and close the backpanel with force.
actually how I do it

If only it were that easy
Anyway, here's the finished build:
Now I'll be waiting for the Vega 10
