Can YOU aid me in this ULTIMATE Gaming, Coding and Editing Computer

Guest · Jul 8, 2014

So I have just designed this AMAZING computer and was wondering whether You guys, The community, could correct any issues there might be within this build.
If you could also add any of the fittings i may need for this build then it would be greatly appreciated. Just so you know I will be setting up both hard drives in Raid 0 and Raid 1.

What kind of results do you guys think this computer would get on the most intensive games and other bench-marking software?
Thanks guys, Now I know this is overkill but I have been given an opportunity to spend above and beyond on this computer.
Thanks in Advance!

Why not 1TB SSD's?

Guest · Jul 8, 2014

I doubted that it Would be necessary, I can Backup all the SSD content onto the Raid 1 (WD drives) every night or so, but that's a good idea.

Matt9327 · Jul 8, 2014

4k monitors? There's plenty of GPU power... maybe change to an 6 or 8 core processor

Gorgonzer · Jul 8, 2014

Went ahead and upgraded to the extreme I7 and applicable MB for the 4way 3.0 sli. If your going for overkill, might as well go all the way. 6core OC'ed hyperthreading is unstoppable. Your loop cooler is compatable with that board as well.

I'm just sitting here with my $1,600 gaming pc that's not even in commission xD

Gorgonzer · Jul 8, 2014

Matt9327 :

Dont worry, 1600$ is a solid budget for a good gaming rig that will last a long time. 12k$ is just crazy. Would love to put this monster together!

sora · Jul 9, 2014

Gorgonzer :

$12k+ is pretty crazy for a build. This build would obviously run pretty much every game on ultra with two 4k monitors.

i7Baby · Jul 15, 2014

For that build I would've used an X79 platform - more pcie channnels. Better cpu (i7 4960x)

Your i7 4770k is now outdated. Its i7 4790k now. But the Maximus Extrme needs a Z97 version.

So again - I'd go for X79.

GPU's - http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-r9-295x2-crossfire-performance,3808-4.html - I'd go for 2 x R9 295x's instead of Titan
Blacks.
And you wouldn't need all those custom cooler either.

Same as you'd only need half those case fans.
Why the low scale monitors? Get some 27in 1440p instead. or a nice big 4k.

It looks like an exercise in spending money rather than building a high end pc. Especially when I see Razer in it.

Loaph · Jul 16, 2014

With that kind of money, I would have went with a 2011 socket type and got something like a 4930k. That way you could handle larger projects, especially if you are doing any kinda of CAD work.

stolicran · Jul 16, 2014

good for you that your doing something that u enjoy!

the fan controller is completely unnecessary because your motherboard comes with one built in and some of the best software in the world to control each fan independently.

stolicran · Jul 16, 2014

if you change the processor to the extreme, you will not be able to enjoy all the overclocking features of that fantastically delicious motherboard
