My current build is
GPU: Zotac GTX (4GB) 960 Amp edition SLI.
CPU: Intel I5 6600K
Case: Aerocool Xpredator Cube.
RAM: Undecided.
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA Z170MX Gaming 5
Disk Drive: HP 1265i 24X
WI-Fi card: TP Link TL WN851N
Storage: Seagate 2TB Sata SV35.
My questions are.
Should I buy all the components all at once or separably? If at once it will be take till Feb if one by one it will be probable a week shorter, also shipping cost is free.
Is my build good and compatible with each other?
Which RAM card is best for my build? (Im on budget.)
At first I thought this was your current pc. But then you wrote you are going to buy components seperately or all at once. Do you own some of them already?
Anyways, its always better to buy everything together, in case you get a better deal on something later and you previously bought something incombatible with the new stuff you want.
Aerocool Xpredator Cube is really interesting, especially laying the mobo down flat - but I am worried about room for proper SLI setup, cabling etc. while maintaining a good airflow.
Also you need a powerful PSU to power 2 x 980TIs
All I own are the graphics cards.
Won't buying separately save you from accidentally spending your PC savings?
I was also thinking about the Node three but Aerocool has crazy price drops this Christmas seasons.
Ok, what would you recommend? Or would anything like that suffice?
I find it amazing that you own 2 toptier videocards and nothing else, but that aside you´d be looking for:
CPU - i5 6600K is a sound choice, if you want to overclock. If not, choose a non-k series chip and save a few bucks. Mind you need a cpu cooler for overclocking and extra room in your cabinet. Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo is a great pick for cpu cooler.,
Ram - look for DDR4 rams - any will do fine for gaming. Doesn´t matter if it´s 2133 mhz or 2600 mhz. It won´t really matter for gaming, cas latency preferably as low as possible, but 15 is fine for DDR4.
Case - any fulltower will do fine, rest is preferences and extra bonus. Its a must that there is minimum intake in front and exhaust fan in the rear for proper air flow. Additional fans are not needed, but can be recommened for sli+oc, especially in warmer climates. It´s a bonus if you have ports in the front (USB, speakers, etc). Other things are just bonus really.
Motherboard - Obviously you need a motherboard that has the right socket for your cpu and supports SLI. The one you picked is a good choice. Lots of options, good build quality, and easy to OC.
Optical Drive - do you really need it? Otherwise buy from your preferences. BLuray/writes cd/dvd etc.
WiFi card : do you really need it? For gaming you want connect internet with lan-cable. Otherwise just look for a good antenna.
Storage: I highly suggest SSD drive, for faster loading times. Add another SSD later if you need more space, or get a hybrid drive for more storage.
