Okay, Final Build.

Avocade · Apr 18, 2014

I've revised quite a few times. I decided to go for performance over the cool look of white and black. Oddly enough i ended up with Red and Black Accidentally so... Anyway This is the build. Please review tell me issues you see.

What will this build be used for? Am I right in assuming you've already got the two GPUs?

guanyu210379 · Apr 18, 2014

Looks good to me.
Add an SSD if you still have budget, then it will be perfect

I wonder, how you get "Purchases for $0.00"?

Avocade · Apr 18, 2014

Yes I own the GPU's already. It's a workstation/gamestation.

Jacob McIntosh · Apr 18, 2014

Nice build, but if this rig is just for gaming, pick up an i5 45670k, OC it to 4.2 or 4.4 GHz, and add a 120gb SSD for your OS and applications.

Avocade · Apr 18, 2014

Nope it's also a workstation. the 4670k is to underpowered and only has 4 threads. Even OC'd it's not up to par for what i do. I'm OC'ing the 4770k to 4.2

Just added an SSD, changed the RAM, PSU and CPU cooler.

Avocade :

Ok. Just try to get an SSD.

Avocade · Apr 18, 2014

The XFX and the TT are both in the same PSU Tier 2-A. So quality isn't changing technically plus the TT fits with the RED and Black...heh. I want the H100i because well it gives me more option for upping the clock down the road if I feel 4.2 isn't enough. The memory is both like the PSU on the same level so changing to it won't really increase performance same clock same size... same build quality.

SSD's are great but right now for me it's a waste for only a few seconds difference in load times... I'n the near future I'll buy a small 20GB just for OS but that's it I don't care for SSD's especially with NGFF/m.2 support on my board I'll look into that when they become more regular on the consumer market.

Avocade :

I changed the PSU/Ram/CPU cooler to accomodate for the SSD. As you can see PSU/RAM/CPU Cooler are bit cheaper than the ones you listed. But eh, its ur build ur choice

Avocade · Apr 18, 2014

How do you like your sabertooth? I was looking at them early on if it wasn't for the ugly ass brown I might have gone with it. Does it stay cool and perform well under load?

M0j0jojo · Apr 18, 2014

Avocade :

Yup stay pretty cool, around 30-35 Degrees celcius under load. I dont like the colour either but it got a lot of nice reviews and awards.

Avocade · Apr 18, 2014

Did you use the Armor fans? or did you leave the covers on? I watched a lot of reviews they look cool as shit i just like i said and you mentions those colors -_-.

M0j0jojo · Apr 18, 2014

Avocade :

I Used the armour fans to keep the heat sink below the armour cool.
