Is this worth buying? I'll replace the 760 with a 770 though.
It's about 700£ so i guess arround 1000€

" The Criminal Network " doesn't sound to convincing

but the PC stats look decent.

you will be fine with 8gb ram? not 16?

quad core is decent and i5 isn't bad.
how many fan slots has that coolermaster case got? and how many fans you have?

The criminal network is a twitchgroup They stream mainly Payday 2. And it's watercooled.

8 gigs of ram is more than enough for gaming, but GTX 760 is what cought me eye, pretty sure you could get a custom build with atleast 770 for that cash. Also no need for Corsair H60 if you don't intend to overclock, so there's cash for better gpu, but if you have no desire to do it yourself I guess this ain't a bad deal, don't know the prices in your part of the world.

I'll replace the 760 with a 770 and it's an OC build

Seems like a nice setup then

ah never had water cooled before, seems legit.

Well watercooling isn't expensive as before and is more and more becoming mainstream, if you Google the cooler you'll see it ain't what you think, the whole setup with the pipes and the pump and the works, it's a compact easy to install cooler that uses good cooling properties of the water, it's a closed small loop and it seems to work great for the cpu.

Sabertooth Motherboard is what ive got its got Thermal "Armor" bolted to it with built it air channeling that cleans the dust and cools it down, it works i guess.

[Prpavi]

that looks nice like a real armor indeed  what's the price of that thing?

[Senni__Ti]

Probably a lot, as that's a gen out :p.

Most people consider thermal armour a gimmick, though if you can get it at no extra cost .
~210 euros LGA 1150 (might be less as I'm calcing from UK taxes).

One of the best motherboards out there.

As for OP, it's got some reasonable stuff in there, but everything is very middle tier.
H60 cooler is slightly better than a decent air cooler. (They probably won't OC the i5 too much)

For 1000 euros though, I'd build your own.
What nationality are you? (for build websites)

looks really nice

I looked it up, currently it's around 250 euros here.

I don't overclock my PC anymore and I have a nice case with a good airflow so I really couldn't use it to it's full potential, I even have a stock cpu cooler ffs  but it looks like an awesome piece of gear for an enthusiast, am a fan of Asus boards myself too

What looks like an awesome feature to me is the "Dust Defender" - hate dust and every feature that makes my life easier in getting rid of it I applaud.

btw here's a tip for the gpu, Gainward GTX 770 Phantom 

[Kafein]

Anybody know a good choice for a water cooler kit in a CM-690 case ? There are holes for the tubes if I want an external setup, but considering the pricing on those things I'm mostly interested in just replacing my cpu cooler, and the main problem in finding one is figuring whether I'll be able to fit it in the case. The case has space for two 140mm ventirads on top, but it's not really clear whether that's the right size for watercooling kits.
