Hi guys,
Would like you all to take a look at the following parts:

Corsair Carbide 400C
Mobo / Processor – ASUS H170 PRO GAMING 15-6600
RAM – CORSAIR LPX 2400mhz KIT 2*4GB
GPU – ASUS STRIX GT970
Water Cooling – CM SEIDON 120 V Plus Liquid
1 TB HDD (REUSE)
1 TB HDD – WD 1TB BLUE 64MB SATA 3
250GB SSD
PSU - CORSAIR CX750 BRONZE MOD
FAN – SP 120 (RED/WHITE)
WIFI CARD

Using for watching video gaming (CG:GO, D3, Overwatch) for now

1) Does my mobo support 2 HDD and 1 SSD ?
2) hearing some news for new GPU releasing soon maybe can wait till then and see if the price for current GPU will drop ?:s13::s13:
Budget within 2k

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Hmmm are you looking at an aesthetic based build or performance?

Cause actually I think your budget can reach a i5-6500 + 980Ti :s13:

Though frankly would be kinda overkill for the games you play

How would you build the rig around i5-6500 + 980ti !?

who would mind extra juice in GPU
forget to mention I would like to play game like battlefield / NFS and other in the future. :s13:

aesthetically will suffer if want to do 980 Ti with $2k budget.
Here's my attempt at a $2.2k rig with 980Ti, red themed build.

CPU+MOBO: Intel i5-6500 + H170 Pro Gaming = $464 (Qoo10 VideoPro, 2 x $10 Item coupon, 1 x $100 Cart Coupon. Self-Collect.)

GPU: Zotac GTX 980 Ti AMP! Omega = $899 (Qoo10 VideoPro, $100 Cart Coupon. Self-collect)

RAM: GSkill Ripjaw V 16GB 2400Mhz Kit = $159 (Qoo10 VideoPro, $30 Cart Coupon. Self-collect.)

SSD: Zotac 240GB Premium = $87 (Lazada, $15 MPMarch discount. $3 Delivery Fee inclusive)

HDD: WD 1TB Blue = $76 (TradePac/PCThemes)

PSU: Superflower Leadex Silver 650W = $116.5 (Lazada, 12% DBS FriYay discount. $3 Delivery Fee inclusive.)

CPU Cooler: ID-Cooling Frostflow 120L AIO w Red LED = $77 (Lazada, $15 MPMarch discount. $3 Delivery Fee inclusive.)

Connectivity: Sineoji PL1800EP Homeplug Twin Pack = $129 (SLS Cybermind, Liket their FB Page to enjoy this promo price)

Case: Corsair Carbide 400C = $147.5 (Lazada, 12% DBS FriYay discount. $7.50 Delivery Fee inclusive.)

Total: $2155 excluding fans.

You can choose to downlock the RAM in the BIOS. Alternatively, you can choose to buy the cheaper ValueRAM running at 2133MHz

For that price of 970, I would recommend Zotac GTX 970 AMP! Exteme/ Extreme Core. These 2 GPU are being pushed to the limits by Zotac and comes with 5 year* warranty. I feel it's more bang for buck.

Ya fan cooling to replace water cooling. Abit no point to do water if ure not overclocking. Want save more use stock cooler also can :s22:

For fan cooling just get cm 212 lor. If want colourful then get 1 red led fan and mount on the front side then behind put the provided fan
