Purchase date: ASAP
Budget: $2,500 (a bit more if there are clear benefits)
Usage: Gaming on a 65" 4k Sony tv (XBR-65X950B) + watching tv
Key restrictions: Cooltek W2 case, quiet as possible (especially when watching tv)
Other comments:
I'm looking to get the best possible gaming experience given the above restrictions
I'm happy to try some light overclocking with user-friendly motherboard software
I am living in Japan so am getting parts from http://shop.tsukumo.co.jp/, some of the relative pricing is a little different so don't worry too much about small differences in prices for parts (if you happen to have any advice on buying pc hardware in Japan that would be great as well)
Current parts list: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/Widey/saved/TKZrxr
link for Cooltek W2 case: http://www.quietpc.com/cooltek-jonsbo-w2
Key questions:
Any over-kill or under-kill parts-wise?
General compatibility and balance/bottle-necking issues.
Any stupid lack of future proofing?
Should I go closed loop WC (have heard it is a bit noisy at low loads)?
Will the 2 GPUs produce too much heat for the case (I plan to upgrade fans if required once I see the temps and noise produced)?
Any feel for the likely noise levels?
Will the RAM fit under the CPU cooler?
Will the CPU cooler actually fit in the case (160mm height vs 163mm max height in case specs)?
All comments tips etc. much appreciated.
