thunderbolt645 · Jul 4, 2016

I decided to order a custom built gaming PC. So i decided some of the few parts which were:-

Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3GHz LGA 2011-v3 140W Processor
on
ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME/U3.1 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard.
with
MSI GTX 970
and Corsair Dominator Platinum Series 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz (PC4-25600) C16 Memory Kit

I Want to build a Highest/Higher end gaming PC. So now i have few questions. Q1:- Are these parts Compatible with each other like processor with MB and MB with RAM ETC Q2:-Suggest the rest of the parts i.e:- Casing and Cooling fans and other things, Thanks i would really Appreciate help as i am no expert, i barely know the basics BTW Thanks again.

They're compatible but I would seriously consider going for the GTX 1070 instead of the 970

Cases are mainly down to personal preference but some good quality brands include Corsair, NZXT, Phanteks...

For a power supply you need to decide if you will always have 1 graphics card or if you plan to SLI later on.

For a single gpu these would be good options (in order of increasing price)

For SLI you'll want a bit more power...

Thanks for replying, will the following PSU enough Corsair CS650M — 650 Watt 80 PLUS Gold Certified Modular PSU
and for the case I like CM Storm trooper full tower case but the problem is the MB i have is Asus Rampage V is in E ATX board and Storm trooper supports XL ATX cases only

Do you have to choose from a restricted list of parts? The CS650m would not be my first choice at all.

If that motherboard doesn't fit that case you'll just have to pick a different motherboard or a different case

OK so these are good PSU's...

https://homeshopping.pk/products/CORSAIR-RM-Series-RM850-850W-PSU-Price-in-Pakistan.html (though 850w is ridiculously overpowered for your needs)

Here it's slightly cheaper, and a bit lower power and as a bonus it's the newer, better version! http://www.czone.com.pk/power-supply-corsair-power-supplies-corsair-rmx-series-rm750x-%E2%80%94-750-watt-80-plus-gold-certified-fully-modular-psu-cp-9020092-uk-pakistan-p.4198.aspx

Thanks for that, now two things remain storage and casing
For Storage i want SSD or SSD's 1 TB should be fine. I think Samsung 850 Pro Series 1 TB would do fine you may suggest more from here.

Second thing is casing now everything is summarized. So we must see a good Case for this PC.

Thanks this is the final answer i need.

plywrlw · Jul 4, 2016

That SSD is probably what I'd suggest too

As for cases, I always find Corsair cases to be pleasure to build in;

This one is huge but very nice https://www.beegeek.net/corsair-obsidian-750d-full-tower-casing/

and this one is a bit smaller but also nice https://www.beegeek.net/corsair-carbide-330r-mid-tower-casing/

and this one is nice looking and quiet https://www.beegeek.net/thermaltake-suppressor-f51-mid-tower-casing/

but it really comes down to personal choice. I'm sure you've noticed my case preferences are rather....staid!

Thanks for your help i am ready to build my new PC.

Great

have fun

For a gaming rig having that kind of power is completely unnecessary. The 5820K is a good choice but the 6800K has since replaced it. And buying a ridiculous overkill motherboard and RAM with a mediocre GPU definitely doesn't help things. You should be spending more on the GPU and less on the motherboard and RAM. A gaming rig will never use more than 16GB. What are you looking to spend?
