Here's a start

alexandre_denis · Jul 3, 2018

Thanks that helped. Still would like a little more help to complete my build

.

Not sure between Barracuda pro or Ironwolf Pro (For gaming mostly)
Memory maybe more than 16GB ?

toshibitsu · Jul 3, 2018

I have 32gb in my $3000 build, so for $6000 I'd sure as heck would want at least that(preferably 64gb though).

You could spice things up and have one of each of those Titan Xp 'Star Wars Edition' cards(if you can get a hold of them that is).

alexandre_denis · Jul 3, 2018

Yeah ill go with 64GB ram..
And not interested in star wars edition since i dont want to see inside my case

Heres an update. The 1080ti typically beats the titan by a small margin, some cases its the opposite but titan costs more.

alexandre_denis · Jul 4, 2018

Thanks for the update! (Really like the case and the monitor!)
1TB for SSD is enough. I will install my most played game on it.
(World of Warcraft\PUBG\ETC) Multiplayer games

1. I still don't know the difference between Barracuda and Ironwolf!? Trying to look around with google but no one is on the same page.

2. May need some fans too. Any recommendation?

3. Blu-Ray Burner. I still copy some movies for my girlfriend!

4. I can get titan xp for cheap should i still go with 1080ti?
Why would it cost the double for the titan xp if it not better?

alexandre_denis · Jul 4, 2018

Bump. almost forgot. Looking for a new chair. (Giving this one to my son with my computer).

bmockeg · Jul 4, 2018

Titan isnt a mainstream card so its about $200 more each.

Added bluray writer. The case has room for 5 fans cones with 3. The AIO water cooler will occupy the other 2 spots.

alexandre_denis · Jul 6, 2018

One more question If i had to go with western Digital (WD) for hard drive.
What colors should i pick ?

1. SSD
2. HDD

bmockeg · Jul 6, 2018

Black is performance, gold for server type applications.

alexandre_denis · Jul 8, 2018

I am going with 32GB of ram. Can anyone suggest any 2 X 16GB from corsair... and the possibility to buy the same one for a total of 64GB ? If i change my mind

If you want 64GB it's cheaper to buy 2 of these.

These will reduce your CAS latency from,16 to 14.

This is something i would like. Love the design. Will it fit my equipement ? Or is it too small. If too small can you help me find something i like ?

Should i look for something with hdmi 2.1 ?

toshibitsu · Jul 12, 2018

That case looks like it's as close as you're going to get to what you want. It will fit the parts you picked.
The "problem" is that these days everyone's big on looks/lights(rgb) so 99% of cases have that integrated into them to some extent.

The case itself is not going to have a video output on it. That's on the video card(s). Although if your plan is to use HDMI 2.1, you'll need to make sure the actual cable you use is an HDMI 2.1 cable.

On that note, HDMI is more for HDTV sets. Generally when it comes to PC's/gaming, DisplayPort is the main connector. There's a fair amount of Gaming Monitors that just have DisplayPort(no HDMI).

bmockeg · Jul 12, 2018

Looks good, fits ATX motherboard. Graphics cards and PSU will fit. Looks,like u need a 240mm AIO CPU cooler instead of,280mm

bmockeg · Jul 12, 2018

You'll also want to get a 200mm fan,for the top

Thanks, yes i'm using a displayport currently i wasn't sure with 4K. All new for me and don't want to make mistake.

So yeah.... i double check here and sorry for being part of the ones looking for looks

if i am going to spend thousands on it i want to get something i really like.

alexandre_denis · Jul 13, 2018

Do you think my GTX 1080TI founder edition would fit in ? I looked at some review on amazon and saw 2 comment:

Question: Can you fit a GTX 1080 into this Case?
Answer: Yes but barely. I had to change sata connectors and also reroute some.
By Dave Wallace on July 13, 2017
I had to remove the side panel shroud (plastic cover by the fan) to fit the Asus GTX 1080.
By Andre Mourinho on September 4, 2017

and would like the additional fans. Quiet if possible.

bmockeg · Jul 13, 2018

Based on the case dimensions and card dimensions it should fit . I would recommend the Gigabyte Aurous 1080ti over founder edition. Just as a note though. Newer DirectX games don't use SLI and it is dying off. You might be best served getting 1 card and,using the extra money to upgrade it in the next year.

alexandre_denis · Jul 13, 2018

I already got the gtx 1080 Ti for a steal

that's why i'm building a computer (and my stepson wants my current pc). And yes, you are correct about Sli. It's dying
