Hello,
I was about to buy another Titan X Pascal (not XP) to put them both in SLI when I realized that it's no longer available. The only one I can order is Titan XP and they're not compatible.
So, one thing led to another and finally I decided to buy a new RIG.
After some days taking a look at the components marketplace, I've picked these items:
CPU I7-8700K
Motherboard Asus ROG MAXIMUS X HERO (WI-FI AC)
RAM 16GB Corsair Dominator Platinum DD4 3200 -> UPDATED TO 3600 MHz
Graphic Card 1 Asus GeForce ROG Strix Gaming GTX 1080Ti
Graphic Card 2 Asus GeForce ROG Strix Gaming GTX 1080Ti
PSU Corsair HX1200i 1200W
Case Be Quiet! Dark Base 900
CPU Cooler Fractal Design Celsius S36
Regarding CPU: it's hard to find, they run out of stock in Europe, anyone has any new of availability?
Regarding Case: I don't want any kind of window at all, but I want a good case with room enough to manage water cooling radiators (360mm and above), so this is the only one I've found with similar specs. Any suggestion?
Regarding CPU Cooler: I've been not able to figure out which is the one that fits my needings. I'd like a good balance between cooling and silence but, if I am forced to choose one, I prefer cooling rather than silence (I use to play with headphones and besides I guess that 2 GTX 1080ti can produce so much hot...)
From now on, please feel free to expose any suggestion, hint, question, or even reproach. I assume it's a big budget so I want to be sure I am picking the right components.
Thank you very very much in advance!
P.S: I'm sorry if my english skills are not good enough. If you do not understand some subject of my post, please let me know.
