****PC Build Request Form****
UPDATED FORM
Budget & Currency: 1600 GBP
Peripherals & Monitor: Mouse- Razer Deathadder Chroma. Keyboard- K70 RGB Rapidfire/Lux(Whatever is cheaper as I can't tell the difference)
Games: Anything from Dayz to Call Of Duty World At War to GTA V with Mods. I play a variety of games but I do like good looking ones like Just Cause 2 and Battlefield 1.
Software: Basic computer stuff /Collage Work, as well as FL Studio as I intend to make music in my spare time
Aesthetics: White Case with a side panel to see the components is needed and some LED/RGB IF POSSIBLE. Mid/Full tower preferred, unless a small case would be better for the overall build.
Rebates/Promos: promo codes preferred.
Details: SSD would be needed(mainly for the OS and my favourite games/apps) as well as a Z170 Motherboard. Not a fan of AMD and would prefer a NVIDIA graphics card but willing to compromise if it's better performance. Would like it to be able to play games at 1440p as I have a monitor that is capable of doing so.
Needs to be relatively easy to upgrade
When: Today/Tomorrow. I have the money on hand.
Thanks for any and all help.
Also please specify why your build is good.
Ps: if I order from American sites, will I have to pay import charges? I'm in the UK and last time I bought something from overseas I got a check for 120GBP 2 weeks later for customs charges.

Little over budget if you can manage. If not, you can get a cheaper motherboard. This motherboard has RGB LEDs though. The GPU also has RGB LEDs. This isn't the case I'd personally get but you wanted white with a glass window. You could get a better white case but it wouldn't have a tempered glass side window, just a normal side window. GTX 1070 is pretty much the GPU for 1440p, and you have SLI support. 8GB RAM and 525GB SSD will be fine for now and you can add another 1x8GB RAM and an HDD when you have some more money. Nice RGB mouse. Strafe is a great keyboard and MX Blues are the switches I'd recommend but keep in mind the Strafe has red LEDs unless you spend more for the RGB variant, but at that point there's probably different RGB keyboards I'd get instead, like a MasterKeys Pro or K70. The Be Quiet! cooler I included will be enough for the 6600k at stock speeds and maybe a little overclocking but if you really want to overclock the 6600k, you'll want to get a better cooler. You can just get the £20 cooler for now and upgrade cooler at a later date if you want.

Perfect, thanks 13. May I ask what case would you suggest with a standard window then? I might switch if it's better.

White Phateks Enthoo Pro is a beautiful white case IMO. Or you could get an NZXT H440.
If you want tempered glass but dont mind the case being black, an Anidees Al Crystal or Corsair 460x could be a good shout. Or a really premium(and pricey) case, Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ATX.
