What is your intended use?
For gaming an i7 7700k and dual 1080Tis is a better choice.
4k 144hz monitors are also coming out in Q3.

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Intended use is going to be gaming/coding/Microsoft word (in that order).

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

The first one, I can do the same set up, with the graphics cards, just no full loop cooling for the GPU, just closed loop cooling for CPU.

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

What's your budget?
I know it's high, but good audio can get expensive.
A Deathadder would also be a far better mouse choice.

markbrownn · May 22, 2017

If buying preliminary for gaming as first priority, go for build two. It would be an outstanding piece to play all kinds of games, including the heaviest ones like Witcher 3, COD:AW, Dirt, etc. and with the best resolution, I believe.
Further, I'd recommend to add a Deathadder Elite to your PC as one of the smoothest gaming mouse, specially if you are going for FPS games.

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

I suggest a full solid state setup if budget allows.
I'd also recommend getting a placeholder standard 4k 60Hz monitor for now till 4k 144hz HDR G-Sync Quantum dot monitors release in a few months time.

Here's a cheaper version, yet to include audio in either, just hit me with a budget.

Ive narrowed it down to the two following builds. Just trying to get a sense whats better between them for gaming. I'm buying these from boutique gaming companies.

Janfactor · May 22, 2017

clintnerd :

So you're not thinking about building it yourself?

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

Janfactor :

Not at this point.

Janfactor · May 22, 2017

How much does each of the systems cost?

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

The first one is $1,000 cheaper. That's due to the absence of full looped liquid cooling.

toughtrasher · May 22, 2017

Damn you guys are rich

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

clintnerd :

Trust me here, getting the components yourself and getting a local store to assemble them will save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars with such a high end system.
Just buy the parts and pay for construction.
What's your budget for everything?

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

toughtrasher :

No just saved.

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

Is it better to go two titans without full liquid cooling (Falcon nw), or better to go two 1080's with liquid cooling (Maingear).

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

Two 1080 Tis on air is the better choice, realistically water cooling on GPUs doesn't add much performance in terms of overclocking headroom.
See what I wrote above, getting the parts together and paying for assembly will work out cheaper.

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

Chugalug_ :

I appreciate that I'm not wanting to build my own.

So would the first one be the better option it's by falcon Northwest. It's $1,200 cheaper with two titan XPs air cooled, still liquid cooled CPU. Or would it be better to get Maingears liquid cooled GPU/CPU with two 1080's?

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

What do you mean? You're not building it, you're just buying the stuff, and then paying a bit extra on top for them to construct it for you. It saves you a tonne of money.
Are they two 1080s or 1080 Tis?

elbert · May 22, 2017

Neither as you should wait next month for the 2066 pin x299. Get the i7 7740k or a 6 core skylake-x depending on benchmarks and overclocking.

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Essentially.

The Maingear build is two Ti's. The first computer is two Titan XP.

The Maingear = full liquid cooled plus 2 Ti's
The Falcon = CPU closed loop cooling plus 2 Titan

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

Are you understanding what i'm saying though?
You order the parts to your house, you bring the parts into the shop, you ask them "Can you assemble these for me?"
they'll quote you a price, usually around 80 USD, maybe even a little more if they're installing OS, and you leave it for them to put together.
It saves you hundreds.

clintnerd · May 22, 2017

Chugalug_ :

I live in BFE Montana. We have a staples.

Chugalug_ · May 22, 2017

You can get free shipping within the US most of the time, so why not just do that?
Works out way cheaper to do that and get construction.

Whats the better build?
