Hello Thank you for Reading my Post and any help and recommendations are much appreciated!


http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2AonX

I will not be buying them from where that link says i will mostly be buying the parts from newegg.ca and memory express (local pc part store in my city)

I need some good ram for my CPU and MOBO setup. A Case that Fits All my Parts and the NZXT Kraken X60 Water Cooling (http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835146028) And i need a Good PSU that will be perfect for my setup

That being said i need some recommendations on the best Ram for my setup , a PSU and A case that will fit everything perfectly and the NZXT Kraken X60

I will be live streaming and playing all the newest games on ultra max settings and at 2560 × 1440
on a 27" inch monitor. i plan on OCing

For now i want 16gb of ram pref 2400 freq and cas10 but i am open to suggestions and recommendations i know that quad channel works best apparently.

I already bought the SSD / HDD and i have not yet bought the rest but i want to stay with the i7-4930k and MOBO

I have done a fair amount of research on parts but i am still a newb when it comes to building pc's so any help and recomandations are much appreciated. Thank you in advanced for any help!

Do not have a budget this is my dream pc i want to build! but 300$ max for case that can fit the Kraken X60 Water cooling AIO CPU cooler

They have a newer version of it they call it the NZXT Phantom 630 Windowed Edition is this the same as the NZXT
Phantom 630 but with just a window? Also i like you're suggestions on Ram PSU and Case :) so the NZXT Phantom 630 should be a perfect fit the the "ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition" ? i see it has alot of USB ports how well would it fit inside the Phantom 630?

Oh ok awesome i think ill get the windowed version it will still fit everything the 630 phantom non windowed can right?
Also how good is this case for airflow and cable management if you know? and do you know how many graphics cards in SLI this case can hold? and it should be able to be mounted on the top correct the kraken 60X No problem?

This is a roomy full tower case, the limit of GPUs will come down to your motherboard. Honestly going beyond 2 is a waste of time since the performance gain is so small and issues like noise and heat become more apparent. This case has great cable management and airflow, it will work very well for you. And yes it is designed to mount the X60 up top.

Ok awesome ya i was only really planning to do 2 way sli was just wondering what my options were. So the "G.SKILL Trident X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C9Q-16GTXD" is compatible with i7-4930k and ASUS Rampage IV Black Edition motherboard?

Yes, they are tall RAM sticks, but you are watercooling so clearance won't be an issue. And 2011 motherboards use quad-channel RAM, which is why I went with 4x4GB.

Actually I would probably go with this kit instead: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-memory-cmz16gx3m4x1866c9r

It is a lower voltage to comply better with Haswell, the other stuff would work but it wouldn't run at 2400Mhz unless you overclocked it.

Yes i understand that 2011 boards use quad-channel.
I have a question in the newegg.ca spec sheet for the Asus Rampage IV Black it says it supports these type of frequencies ram " 2800(O.C.)/2666(O.C.)/2600(O.C.)/2500(O.C.)/2400(O.C.)/2200(O.C.)/2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1800(O.C.)/1600/1333 MHz "

What does the (O.C) stand for overclock? and does ram come factory overclocked like some video cards do? (" the superclocked gpus ")?
