New build, need help

[Knufire]

Yeah, don't worry about monitor specs (outside of resolution and maybe whether it's a TN or IPS panel). The only surefire way to tell what monitors are good is to see it for yourself.

EDIT: Wait, you were ordering from Amazon. Never mind, that's a solid Amazon build.

Are you referring to anything here ? is there anything I should know about ? you got me thinking

Most of the people in the US order from Newegg.com. They have a lot of promo codes and combo deals that they don't widely advertise (but I keep track of) to try to get people the best deals possible. BUT, I'm fairly sure they don't ship overseas, so it's a no-go for you.

Well, here is a tip for you, even Amazon doesn't ship almost 90% of the products overseas, at least to where I live. Now, how I had them do it ? pretty easy, I am registered at myus.com, not sure if you know that, and sorry if I violated any terms by posting the link. Anyhow, this will give you a real address in the US where you can ship all the items to and put them together and then ship them to anywhere you want over the world.

I can do the same with newegg, however, this website accepts only american credit cards which I don't happen to have and I only have a visa/mastercard that usually works anywhere but apparently newegg is not included in the "anywhere" part .

I am having second thoughts on the case, should I stick to the nzxt 410 phantom or go with the below:

I'd go with the Phantom 410.

I'd go with the Phantom 410.

Yeah, me 2

I actually jammed a 170mm tall CPU cooler and two 7970s in that case...it can definitely hold a lot for it's size.

Yup. They really did a great job on the inside without sacrificing the design or anything.

Hey guys, if i ran everything on stock settings, will i face any bottleneck ? I am planning to OC but not at the beginning.

 

[Knufire]

There's always a bottleneck (think about it, there always has to be a smallest part of the pipe).

That being said, GPU is almost always the bottleneck...but you'd need quad cards to make the CPU the bottleneck.

Thanks for the info
