I am Building a new Gaming rig, need some pointers. The parts list above is what i will be starting with. The case i have there, already comes with some fans. So, i will order them as i need them. Just want some feed back. I may just wait a bit till windows 10 comes out. And then purchase. My main fear is Support, the 24/7 lifetime stuff. I will not have that. Or long time warranty for parts (I am not a pro when stuff breaks). I will not be buying parts every 6 months. Not what i am going for. So how will the longevity hold for this system you think? I am also not looking to go crazy with an overclocked system. So there is that too. At least i do not want to have to overclock it. So, any pointers on that as well will be helpful. I would be running the rig as is after i put it together and get software loaded up.

Also i would like to know what would be a great addition to what i already have on my parts list. :)

Thank you for your time. :)

How about the same effective machine $600 cheaper? It really depends on what you are after and we don't know until you say so. If you want an effective answer, expect follow-up questions.

Now you stated that you won't be overclocking, but you have everything you need to do so. If you want reliability and longevity then water cooling is not for you.

Look into a Phanteks TCPE14 or a Noctua NHD14 / NHD15. That will get you great cooling and no chance of leaks or pump failure.

If you want feedback on a build and say, don't change anything, then you might as well go ahead and buy it.

I also chose some of these parts because i know they are good, for all the research i have done on them. But i still do not know first hand on some of the components.

Power supply is a tad large. Something like an 850W would be plenty. Maybe 1000W.

If you are getting the H220-X, might as well grab the H240-X, if any are available. That is a powerful cooler, but really overkill for a single CPU.

Motherboard seems overcomplicated for what you are using it for. Do you need all of the features and capabilities of the Deluxe?

i7-5830k doesn't really gain you much over the i7-5820k with only two GPUs.

Not sure the necessity of an RBG backlight keyboard.

Why is it that whenever i post things on this site, people can't just throw me some feed back on the actual questions i am asking. Maybe i need to re-word my questions to say "Review the parts list, tell me what you think" As far as what i am using it for, that is irrelevant. I am asking Professionals if this is a good set up. Gaming, whatever i want to use it for. No offense. But i am not asking u to pull my words apart because u can't help your self. I am asking you to help me understand what this system would be capable of on a massive level. Rig of all trades. Thank you.

The use of the system IS very relevant.
A gaming system would be specced different than a business system. And different than something for video rendering.

"Review the parts list, tell me what you think"
I think you're spending too much money in the wrong places.

Too much case
Too much PSU
Not enough drive space
Too much CPU
Too much motherboard

Your initial question: "I am Building a new Gaming rig"
That thing is way overkill for that.

Just my opinion, of course.

If you're running a 1440p monitor at 144Hz, then one GTX 980 Ti should work beautifully with all settings maxed. Hell you don't even need a Ti version. Two would be more for if you want to run three of those monitors. Start with one and if for some reason you find it isn't enough for your tastes, you can get a second one then.

I would go for 2x8GB rather than 4x4GB on the memory.

I would definitely wait a week and get a full Win10 DVD instead of a Win8.1 one at this point. Yes, it's a free upgrade, but you still have to download it and with the DVD if you ever have to reinstall it'll be a lot easier. Plus, then you get Win10 repair, which a Win8.1 DVD won't have.

You wouldn't think of a bit more storage for it because for editing and bussiness I would imagine that you would need pretty vast amounts and games are always taking up more and more space.

My personal recommendation, you could easily get away with a 850w psu as Eximo said but I thought for if you wanted to upgrade in the future this would allow it. With the money saved from the cpu and mobo as they really wont give you as much performance as warrented with the price I personally would put a second display in, this is a 4k gsync monitor but you could easily change things up to another 1440p or a 4k without gsync or whatever. I really do think you underdid the storage in your build I and I would suggest putting the 3 green drives into RAID 6 and have the black for left over games with your ssd for the primary ones.

Are you in the business of wasting money? Because that is all that build will do for you.
