Hi all,
Knew here and also new to the latest games and hardware but have been googling like a man possessed over the last few days
The build is for work and gaming on my new dell U2715H 1440p monitor. Was a tough decision for that too and was close to paying the extra $300 and getting the ROG swift but w/e. It's a really nice monitor and as I am new to these latest games I am happy to start off trying to get 60 fps and then see how it goes and down the line possibly SLI the GPU's and buy a 144hz monitor.
I plan to overclock btw and I think the extreme 6 board looks great and also has sata express, m.2 and the only one i can see that has ultra m.2 so looks a really good value board. I liked the MSI gaming 7 but it doesn't have sata express which put me off. Obv asus pro is good but that's $80 more and doesn't have ultra m.2 and anyway screw asus
It will still seem really smooth and fast for me now and gives me the chance to improve on the system so I have chosen not to immediately SLI GPU's but either go with gtx 970 or 980 single card and then beast it up later when it's time
For now 256GB SSD is sufficient and I am opting for core i7 even with my budget build. I don't do rendering stuff but I do want to keep this a few years without having to regret not getting the core i7 in the future so my minds made up on that although it did take me a while ha.
I put together 2 builds as 2k US was my initial budget and the cheaper build is under that. I live in Thailand so parts are more expensive.
Something I would like any of you experts to confirm is whether I have got the PSU right bearing in mind I am planning to SLI. I am wondering if the cooler master would be fine for both builds or would I be better paying the extra for the corsair HX850i for the gtx 980 SLI plan? I believe it probably is but I have read that the 980 sli would need slightly more. It's $70 difference so a decent saving but don't want to cheap out on it if it brings the system quality down.
Probably been asked to death but will the cheaper cooler master air fan be ok for some overclocking? It's really cheap so I could always upgrade down the road.
Ok sorry this is getting quite long...
the better build is $500 more expensive and it just depends on finances in a couple of weeks when I plan to order from a shop in Bangkok.So I just want to know what experts think of the builds and whether the parts go together well or have any glaring problems or crappy parts.
