Hi All,

I've just signed up here, and was looking to build a new gaming rig for 2015 to play at maximum settings on 1440p and future proof myself for 4K (Possible future SLI).

Keeping in mind, I sometimes like to record and stream in 1080p and Multi task.
The main aim of this build is to do Ultra Gaming, and want to have something in place where even if I don't use it, I know I'm able to if I want to.

Any feedback or criticism welcome - Please do let me know anything from changing components to areas where I can save money but not lose performance, not even 1 FPS.

The colour of the system is Red/Black/White

Whether it's colour preference, colour matching, case colour, CPU Cooler, Fans, LED strips. All opinions welcome.


CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX 70.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste
Motherboard: Asus MAXIMUS VII HERO ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: Zotac GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB AMP! Extreme Video Card
Case: Corsair 760T White ATX Full Tower Case
Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/RSBS DVD/CD Writer
Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition 39.9 CFM 120mm Fan
Case Fan: Corsair Air Series SP120 Quiet Edition (2-Pack) 37.9 CFM 120mm Fans
Cables: Bitfenix Alchemy Red Multisleeved Extension Cables
LED Strip: Bitfenix Alchemy Red LED Strip

Total: £2272.12

Let me know if I'm missing anything.
Much Appreciated

get prolimatech pk-3 rather than arctic silver 5, it performs better than ac5 and it is non-conductive.

if you dont care about noise get the nepton 280l, if you do care then get the corsair h110 or h110i as it performs better with high loads

you should get the gtx 980ti g1 gaming it creams the titan x

personally i would get an enthoo pro case or a thermaltake level 10 gt but that is personal preference

everything else looks pretty good

Thanks for your feedback.
I'll look into the Prolimatech PK-3.

The H110i GTX is the best option for now and replace the stock fans with 2 SP 140mm Red led corsair fans.

The Zotac 980 ti AMP! Extreme Edition actually creams the G1 and Titan x due to its 1253 Mhz Base and 1355 Mhz boost. The Zotac card is due in UK today.

I just love the 760t :)

i guess you are right about the 980ti amp extreme.
just make sure to squeeze every bit of overclock out of it.
