Need a second opinion on build

ReconSAS7 · Sep 9, 2015

Hey! So I have been working on making a new build and I really just need a second opinion on what I have put together.

Please tell me your thoughts and if I should change anything or not.

First off, for 1080p, 2x GTX 980ti's are a waste. Nor do I know how you think you are going to fit them, in that case, since they are models with a closed loop cooler. PSU I would change to a 1000w+ Evga G2 or GS. 32gb is overkill. No need for more than 16gb, except in very few situations. You put together a 4790k/1080p build, with a 5820k/1440p budget.

Okay I have gone on and made adjustments after looking at your suggestions.
What about this one?

And I should tell you that I already have the PSU and the case. They were given to me new so I want to be able to use them.

logainofhades · Sep 14, 2015

That is worse yet. A titan X is no better than a GTX 980ti. AMD SSD is not a very good choice either. No offense, but it looks like you just picked parts by how expensive they were.

That kind of money, you could have the same graphics performance, and an 8 core 5960x. Actually, it would still be cheaper, because the Titan-X is so stupidly priced.

^Agreed. The Titan X is a waste of money at 1080P, hell a GTX 980Ti is also a bit of a waste at 1080P but considering you are paying 2x the price a 980Ti is a better option.

And AMDs SSDs are meh. Samsung makes much better SSDs and tend to be fair in price.

utgotye · Sep 14, 2015

What are you planning on doing with this computer? Are you going to overclock? Don't spend money just to spend it.

ReconSAS7 · Sep 14, 2015

Okay this will probably be the last one.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tvfHmG

I am 90% sure this will be good and not super wasteful on cash.
I do plan on doing some overclocking but may have to scratch that.
I dont know, tell me what yall think.

jimmysmitty · Sep 14, 2015

Swap the AMD SSD for the Samsung 850 Evo 250GB. It is a superior drive and a bit cheaper too. The rest looks decent.

I just got myself the Corsair K95 RGB and I think you will like the K70 RGB. It is a nice keyboard.

logainofhades · Sep 15, 2015

I do not trust Gigabyte graphics card quality. Just not up to par with the quality of their motherboards. Evga or MSI would be better. Swap the AMD SSD for the 850 evo. With the kind of money you were willing to throw at it, earlier, a 500gb-1tb drive would possibly be a better choice as well.

logainofhades :

So most of the reviews i see for the 980ti's say they are getting hotter than people want. Would you suggest a hybrid one or do you think that it shouldnt be that big of an issue if I am not going to be overclocking a whole lot.

ReconSAS7 · Sep 15, 2015

I think I am going to settle on the GTX980 Ti FTW w/ACX2.0+. Thoughts?

logainofhades · Sep 15, 2015

That should be a fine choice.

jimmysmitty · Sep 15, 2015

EVGA is probably the best nvidia GPU manufacture out there so that would be a great choice over the Gigabyte.
