Hello,
Please take a look and tell me if everything is compatible. I'm sure it all fits together but there may be a bottle neck I've overlooked.
Questions/ Uncertainties I have:
I'm looking to make a home PC that does everything "alright".
A gaming and photo editing station.
Cooling:
Do I need to get a reference GTX 970 for a water block to fit?
Would getting a water block for the GPU(s) be a good idea? (there may be 2 in the future)
Im not sure if water block fit in SLI or if PSUs support it
Wifi:
Is the WI-FI card the best choice?
Storage:
Is Raid 0 worth it for this build? (word on the internet is not really)
but if it was are there better ssd?
Or should I wait for SATA Express drives in Raid 0? (use other drives laying around in the mean time)
Front i/o:
Whats a good best things to place in the 5.25" bays. Lots of people leave them empty but i'd like a BlueRay drive and a Card reader. But the market for these are so wide it feels, havn't been able to work out witch one
Upgrading:
SLI with the GPU, it'll be cheaper by then and it's the kind of card that would last.
Getting more RAM
