Hi there.
Since I have possibly finally shorted/destroyed mobo or PSU on current PC (have given up trying to determine problem) looking into another build.
PC will be for gaming (Shooters/RPG/etc) at 1080p - via HDTV, yes a couch potato.
Current GPU is GTX670 4gb (EVGA) - which could have also failed. Can't test anything as don't have spares/vehicle.
Already have keyboard/mouse and Bluray/DVD drive. HDD/SSD can be used from my current computer.
The below are my thoughts
CPU cooler;
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=21628NOCTUA NH-D15 ELITE-CLASS SIX HEATPIPE DUAL TOWER COOLER
Or another air cooler that is as good as the NOCTUA NH-D14 CPU COOLER (Which I have and is/was awesome) that works with the latest Intel sockets).

Or
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=29803INTEL COFFEELAKE CORE I5 8600K SIX CORE, 3.6GHZ/4.3GHZ, 9MB LGA1151 UNLOCKED PROCESSOR, NO FAN
Nice to have a high clock speed - would like to overclock, suggestions if another cpu is more viable)
Prefer Intel as read Ryzen are not as good?
Motherboard;
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=29815ASUS ROG STRIX Z370-H GAMING INTEL Z370, DDR4 4000MHZ, DUAL M.2 GAMING MOTHERBOARD
Or
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=29822GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS GAMING 5, INTEL Z370, DDR4-4133 TRIPLE M.2, 120DB SNR ALC1220, FUSION RGB LGA1151V2 GAMING MOTHERBOARD
Something that has some lighting like these, again suggestions.
PSU;
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=29040CORSAIR HX SERIES HX750 750W 80PLUS PLATINUM FULLY MODULAR POWER SUPPY (CP-9020137-AU)
Prefer to use modular connections, read EVGA have very short separation on their HDD power connections.
Memory;
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=29246G.SKILL F4-3200C16D-16GTZR TRIDENT Z RGB 16GB (2X8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16
Something flashy to look at *shrugs* and 16gb is all that would be required for gaming?
Case;
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=30461FRACTAL DESIGN DEFINE R6 SILENT MID TOWER TEMPERED GLASS - BLACKOUT
Should fit GPU, and CPU cooler I listed above.
Fans;
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=30211NOCTUA NF-F12 PWM CHROMAX BLACK SWAP, 120MM, 4-PIN PWM, 1500RPM x3
Possibly another 2 x 140mm
(Perhaps the corsair Premium magnetic levitation fans?
http://www.computerloung...entview.asp?partid=27494)
Operating System;
Windows 10 - DVD or USB variant
Previous PC was from Computer lounge (2012) and was home built which was fun - and it worked fine for years so dunno what I did for it to fail - still think it PSU).
So yeah this comes to about $2,529.50 (using most expensive parts listed and 2 additional 140mm fans) as per your website. Eeeek....
Anyhoo thoughts, or not.
