ok I have added some pictures.

@insane_metalist: OK great. Good thing I ordered that already just because.

Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound, 3.5 Grams

@GhostHawk196: thanks man. I was also looking at that h110i cooler. Being my first ground up build, my excitement is through the roof! I'll post picture when its done. I'll either start building this weekend or Monday coming up. I hope everything goes smooth.

@ghosthawk196 I didn't get any of those cases. I went with something big.

Corsair Graphite Series 780T Full Tower PC Case - Black (CC-9011063-WW) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00LA6POK4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_kRBAwbNR4RT7Q

And I'm looking for a cooler that will be good for over clocking the 6600k. I'm a little scared with water cooling. I don't want to wreck my pc because of a faulty cooler. Unless the company is willing to cover damages.

Also would you guys recommend using the pre applied thermal greas that comes with these coolers or scrape it off and use my own.

@GhostHawk196: ill take a look. I purchased everything so far except the heat sink and case.

@Coseniath: thanks man! really appreciate the feedback.

im down with this case: http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-PHANTOM-Tower-Black-PHAN-002GR/dp/B004WO17UC/ref=sr_1_12?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449535446&sr=1-12&keywords=full+tower

or this one

http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-Phantom-Full-Tower-CA-PH530-B1/dp/B00F0EB0SM/ref=sr_1_3?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449536476&sr=1-3&keywords=NZXT+Phantom+530+Gaming+Full+Tower+Case

will i have any problems here?

@insane_metalist: ok cool, i was looking at the one first.

As far as the case goes, i guess i better off getting a full tower. ill keep looking till i see one i really like. I do like the phantom cases but they dont have a front intake. < unless that does not matter at all.

Sorry all the photos are upside down. I have no idea how to fix that. It looked fine on all my other devices and programs.

Total cost : $1303

Gigabyte GTX 970

Intel i5-6600k

Asus Z170-A

Samsung EVO850 - 250GB SSD

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB 2666MHz (4x4)

Corsair H110i GT cooling block

Corsair T870 Tower

EVGA 750 G2

So far in my temp test I have a CPU idle temp of 19c (well with me using the pc for pictures). GPU idle temp of 24c. I haven't played any games yet.

is that good? I have no clue

--------------------original post--------------------------------

here is a rough outline on my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nqkvXL

But i want this case instead : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013DYXG4Q?colid=M6JQNES9HYBL&amp;coliid=IJOW1LF539TXA&amp;ref_=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl

Would you guys recommend getting a Full size case for possible expansion? if i wanted down the road, would i be able to fit two GPU's in this case?

I have a CD drive already on an recent PC that died. I have a spare 2TB barracuda drive as extra storage.

GPU question: is there a particular brand i should go for?

CPU: is the i5-6600k Good enough? on paper it looks good but i know all you pc enthusiast really know the inner workings. how about over clocking it in the future.

Thanks for the info! I didn't buy the laptop for gaming, I bout it for school, hone and where ever. I wanted something portable. My next pc will be a desktop though. I feel my self wanting to transition to pc gaming
