Best build withing $5k?

Alpha Gametauri · Jul 8, 2017

I have a Sentey Optimus PC gaming case. I have recently been looking at parts and decided to change up my build with the best parts, i want to see what would be the recommendations. Help is appreciated, go crazy. I PREFER to stay under $5k but will go over DEPENDING on final price.

4 requirements:
-2TB Mem Space
-4k 60fps Res
-Liquid Cooling
-32GB Ram MINIMUM
-Cheapest parts that meet those requirements.

32GB RAM is the highest you want to go unless doing high levels of video work.
What else do you need included?
This is silent, and the absolute best money can buy atm.
If you can, wait for 4k 144hz HDR Quantum dot monitors to launch in a month or two, they'll run for $2000.

I'd wait for benchmarks and overclocking results on AMD Threadripper before committing to a build. X299 isn't that great of a chipset. As only the 10 Core model supports 44 PCIe lanes the lower models are 28 and 16 lanes. The 10 core isn't great for games or overclocking due to VRM issues. While all AMD Threadripper models will support 64 PCIe lanes. I couldn't picture a build this high end only using the Intel X270 or AMD x370 chipsets nor an older X99 series board. Threadripper is due out soon.

Also why put such an expensive build in such a cheap case? There are cases which offer more room and better options for mounting liquid cooling.

When you mention 4K. Did you mean you want the build to include a 4K monitor or that it is capable of 4K gaming?

1- The reason i chose that case because i already have it.

2- I want a system that will run smoothly at 4k 60fps Res with a 4K Gsync Monitor.

I just want to find the perfect system for me while spending as less as possible.

I'm not a more then one screen person, difficulty is one reason.

Oops, forgot to put Ryzen in instead, ignore that list, Ryzen performs on par with a 7700k at higher resolutions than 1080p.

what are you using this computer for? for gaming $5k is overkill.

Alpha Gametauri · Jul 8, 2017

ARICH5 :

Multi-Purpose, a computer i can use everyday but also i can play whatever game i want at 4k 60FPS Res (or whatever it runs best at)

Chugalug_ · Jul 9, 2017

Can you wait for the new monitors to come out?
Would be extremely advantageous.
Alternatively these are good 60Hz options.

Chugalug_ :

I currently have an eye on 4k Gsync monitors, but i can wait, still have a bit of $$$ to save up.

Chugalug_ · Jul 9, 2017

Current 4k G-Sync offerings are absolutely dreadful, they just slap 'gamer' on the monitor and mark up the cost, you can get much better image quality for less. Wait for the 4k 144hz quantum dot G-Sync HDR options to come out later this year before you make that jump, use a current monitor till then.

Alpha Gametauri · Jul 9, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Sounds like a plan, TY for the help.

Alpha Gametauri · Jul 9, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Quick question, 1700, 1700x or 1800x?

Chugalug_ · Jul 9, 2017

1700, can easily be OC'd to 1800X levels, only diff is clock speed really.
Saves you cash.

Chugalug_ :

k, thanks.

Would these work? They sound badass.

Chugalug_ · Jul 30, 2017

Ya.
The Asus PGxxxUQ or something I think and the Acer XB1.

chegalhavara · Jul 30, 2017

Same some money more and go for something like thins instead: https://www.caseking.de/8pack-orionx-i7-6950x-4-4-ghz-i7-7700k-5-1-ghz-extreme-oc-system-sipc-186.html

Chugalug_ · Jul 30, 2017

Whoever made that listing; get them off the calculator!
Lol.

Agathor · Jul 30, 2017

You could do custom water cooling for that budget.

Alpha Gametauri · Jul 30, 2017

chegalhavara :

Intel?? HA!! Why spend twice as much, almost three for what i can get better with the AMD Ryzen 7?

Chugalug_ · Jul 30, 2017

Pretty sure he was joking guys, I downvoted just in case though.

Alpha Gametauri · Jul 30, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Maybe, but he suggested Intel, which made it hilarious.

Alpha Gametauri · Jul 31, 2017

Chugalug_ :

Hear about the New AMD Threadripper? Should i start a new build, it should still be within my budget.

Just hope theres a bracket for the current cooler.

EDIT: I hear the Threadripper is more the business end of the spectrum then Gaming, and the only time i'll need 16C's is when i edit vids when i do YT. NvM on the Threadripper.

Though i do want to MAX out the ram the MB will accept, as i said before, i want BEST performance and i will be doing vid stuff.

EDIT 2: I decided to say f*** it and go with 2 screens, because why not?

Either way, i have a s*** ton of $$$ to save because with everything else, this is getting expensive VERY quickly.

Best build withing $5k?
