Hey all,
I would appreciate your feedback on my build which I intend to use for data analysis (large datasets, lots of computations), some video editing and 4k gaming.
I want to land in a sweet spot of noise and performance where possible.
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
CPU: Intel Core i7-5960X 3.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($999.99 @ SuperBiiz)
I want to overclock as much as possible (guessing around 4ghz)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H110i GTX 104.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($129.99 @ Newegg)
should I stay with the stock fans on this one or get new ones (like silent wings or shadow wings) when I want to overclock but also don't want to have an airplane underneath my desk. The reviews I have read so far are not clear on this;
Motherboard: MSI X99A GODLIKE GAMING EATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard ($549.99 @ Amazon)
call it a crazy investment but I just liked what I read and saw on this motherboard. any better option is welcome. No need to critise killernics as I am aware of the pro's and cons.
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 series 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR4-2800 Memory ($490.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 512GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($219.75 @ OutletPC)
Storage: Samsung 850 Pro Series 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($435.00 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate 4TB 3.5" 5900RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive ($149.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate 4TB 3.5" 5900RPM Hybrid Internal Hard Drive ($149.99 @ Amazon)
512 GB for OS
1 TB for programs, games, data analysis. Might ask a pcie SSD for important datasets
I would mirror the 4 TB drives (RAID 1) . Have honestly not checked the reliability with hybrid drives so need to do some more research.
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB HYBRID Video Card ($719.99 @ Amazon)
at the moment I am either considering the GTX 980 Ti or the Titan X. Would aim for the hybrid for cooling and noise reasons. Titan X would only be for FP32 computations (as FP64 is not boosted on that card.).
Any point in all this as people assume Nvidia might bring a new 'revolutionary' card in 2016? Just some thoughts on it would be appreciated. This latter point is why I might settle for a 980 GTX ti and then maybe add the new Titan next year.
Case: Corsair 780T ATX Full Tower Case ($179.99 @ B&H)
I like this case as it also has a vent control, plenty of space, good airflow, ...
Other alternatives for me were the corsair Air 540 (I like the look, lots of space (except for 5.1/4 slots) or the Fractal design R5 titanium (for silent housing)
Power Supply: be quiet! DARK POWER PRO 11 950W 80+ Platinum Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($199.00 @ Newegg)
Total: $4224.67
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available
