Looking to build high end gaming computer

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

Hey Everyone, im new to computer building this is going to be my first build and i need help finding out everything i need to build a dual screen gaming pc thats wicked fast and can do FeatureCAM, CAD software, 3D printers and WOW without being slowed down by playing World Of Warcraft on one screen and streaming music on the other, no price limit because you can't put a price on the best, i also want liquid cooling as well. I have a case picked out already but if it cant do what i want please let me know. The case i have picked out is a Overseer RX-1 Full Tower Case from Amazon.com and it seems perfect. Please advise on everything i need, i want max everything, from overclocking to memory it has to be maxed. This is going to be my first build and cant hardly wait to get started, thanks!

Hello Darkside,
Without knowing proper budget, it's hard to build a high end gaming setup. Still, we need to know a little more information: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/353572-31-build-upgrade-advice

My apologies, well my price range would be $12,000 with a wireless mouse, keyboard and gaming pad, without two screens and as far as resolution goes im thinking whatever will be best for 30"-40" flatscreen pc moniter. Im not really good at figuring which resolution is best.
The purchase date is in the next 12-36months, i plan to buy one component per month.
Its going to be used for gaming, featurecam, cad software, music/movie streaming and 3d printing software as well as internet browsing and downloading movies and music.
I plan to run Windows 7 Ultimate.
I dont really have a parts preference i just want the best i can get to get the job done.
Yes to overclocking.
Sli or crossfire, whichever is better for my application.
If you require more info please let me know.

The technology is moving fast. Rather than buying 1 component per month, find out excactly when you want to buy, and get the best gear you need at that specific time.

Your budget is big enough to get almost any build in mind. So it all comes down to when. Buy now, and get a great cpu with skylake tech and gpu with Maxwell tech or wait another year and you almost certainly will have cannonlake cpu´s and pascalbased gpu´s that may increase performance so much that even todays topnotch gear will fade in comparison. Wait another 2 years and there will be a newer tech again that will increase the bang for your buck.

tl;dr.
Find out when you want to buy.

He's right ^

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

Ok well say i want to build it in the next 6-12 months what all should i get?

Victorion · Nov 18, 2015

Pascal based gpu´s are said to come out 2016, it may be wortwhile to wait for.

ben001 · Nov 18, 2015

Including Skylake-E chip, most probably Q3 2016.

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

Do you think the Overseer RX-1 Full Tower Case is a good starter case?

Victorion · Nov 18, 2015

DarkSideX666 :

Yes, it is spacy, with loads of functions for cooling and add-ins with some extra gimmicks. It´s quite big though and may not be worth the money. Personally I´d decide cabinet on the what I put inside.

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

What would you suggest as a case? I am keeping in mind the possibility of future upgrades

Victorion · Nov 18, 2015

DarkSideX666 :

First of all, like I mentioned, I´d buy from the choices of what I am going to need to put inside it.

But disregarding that, I´d buy something not too teenage-looking with alot of space and options.

Cooler Master Cosmos II
Spacy enough for 4 graphic cards and big motherboards.
Fan-control with up to 10 fans (I like silent rigs)
USB panels on front
Easy installation of watercooling
Nicelooking, with grips for easy movement
-not cheap

The one you picked, is absolutely topnotch too though - I have a rough time with the aesthetics though

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

I appreciate your honesty, im 26 but i do like cases and things that stand out, im looking at a review on youtube of the cosmos 2 its huge

Victorion · Nov 18, 2015

DarkSideX666 :

Yeah it is huge, but it´s one of the best cases out there with a nice aluminum design. So if you can get along with the price, you won´t regret it. 2 of my friends uses this, and I like the sliding panels and the doors on the side. Once it´s setup, it´s a really beautiful thing. The hardest thing is actually making the cables from PSU and whatnot, look organized.

Personally it´s a bit over what I´d spend on a case, but then again, I may in the future

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

Holy crap over $300 for it, maybe after i build my first one

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

Just hope the overseer can hold everything im going to put in it

Victorion · Nov 18, 2015

DarkSideX666 :

As long as it is a full tower case, you usually have option to put a crapload of hardware inside it.

DarkSideX666 · Nov 18, 2015

It is a full tower case, have you seen the video on YouTube by MW Technology on the $4,000 4K gaming & video editing dream machine 2015 pc?

Victorion · Nov 18, 2015

DarkSideX666 :

Nope, but I imagine that I could make an super rig for around $2.500-3.500 depending on periphirals and monitor choice.

ben001 · Nov 18, 2015

You could look for this one: http://www.coolermaster.com/case/mid-tower/mastercase5-series/
Not a huge price but it will fit every components you throw. Sounds like better deal to me.
