Nickeroo :

WHEW !!!!!!!! That is some build for sure and maybe a bit excessive. The only issue I see is get rid of the Rosewill PSU and gat a LEPA 1600w PSU. Much better quality. You don't want to take a chance having the PSU fail and toasting the rig, or at least some components.

COOL! I'll get that PSU instead!

Rosewill makes good psus, but I would definitely get a 80+ Platinum psu for this amount of money and power. I don't care how much money you want to spend, the 4960x is NEVER worth $450 more than the 4930k. Other than that, as long as you are going to run RAID with those 4TB hard drives, it looks good.

The only ones I am aware of that have turned around are the XFX's as the upper end ones are made by Seasonic.

I've seen far too many fried rigs from running Rosewill to ever recommend one.

That rig doesn't need a 1600w PSU. This would work just fine

Nickeroo, what is the true budget for this mega build?

Nickeroo · Apr 13, 2014

CTurbo :

Don't really have a set budget... Just keep it under $15K

Why not go crazy and get something like the 8 core e5-2687w v2, e5-2667v2, or the monster 10 core e5-2690 v2? They're all around $1800-2000.
