Good stuff or bad stuff ?

[jeppishh]

hello his is my first pc build.i was inspired by my friend into the technology enthusiast wordl . ive done some research and i think id like these parts for my build are theygood or bad please explain why aswell.oh and btw im custom watercooling the cpu and gpu.

CPU:7 2600k

mobo:msi z77 mpower

GPU:msi n670 gtx

OS: win 7 home premium

storage unit: seagate barracuda 7200.14 3tb plus a ocz agility 60gb for intel smart response cahcing

optical drive: asus sata24x dvd rw

case :nzxt switch 810

RAM:corsair vengeance1600mhz

PSU: corsair ax 850w modula (because then i can sli if i want to do that later)

also im gonna have about 13 fans all about 25db should i get afan cotroller ?

13 fans is quite a bit excessive when the Switch 810 only has mounts for four - check the specs: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146088

Drop the Vengeance RAM unless it's low profile and get a good aftermarket cooler like a Noctua NH-U9B.

Also there's no point in pairing a 2600K with Z77 as you lose a lot of functionality. You want to get Ivy Bridge for this kind of build.

13 fans? Even at lowest settings, they would sound like a jet. 4 fans is usually enough. 3 intake, and 1 exhaust.

And go with g-unit's suggestions.

The switch 810 has room for 10 140mm fans....

Just give me a budget and i will make you the best PC your money can buy.

Yep.... it isn't my PC but i want to do something similar, any thoughts?

I can't help you there - I don't think I could pull off such a build without drowning the components first. :lol:

the benefits of ivy bridge would be ?

Then why are you asking for an advise? are you seriously gonna risk your money and buy something crappy?? give me a budget so i cant post THE BEST rig your money can buy and tell me if you want a WC system.... just to show how a build is done but if you think you know better come'on, how much do you have?

 

[idroid]

PCI-e 3.0, lower TDP and better HT

 

[jrv8]

@idroid I have a 1200$ budget and am dying for build advice

 

[obsama1]

1) Yes, idroid is right. You've made some bad choices, and if you give us a budget, we can build you a better rig.

2) @jrv8 Don't hijack this thread. Make your own, please.

@idroid I have a 1200$ budget and am dying for build advice

wo.... you want water-cooling with that??? i mean... you want to watercool your GPU and CPU, right? if so... don't do it because its not worth watercooling something so cheap a watercooling system is for rigs above $2200+

This build allows you to add a second 7970 and overclock the hell outta both of them + OC on the CPU to about 4.2 (limited by the 212 evo)

^^^^
If you're just getting one 7970, get a 600-650w, and do not get Visiontek. Get MSI, ASUS, Gigabyte, et al.

Why not Visiontek? i know newegg reviews are useless but that card seems to have LIFETIME warranty and with a good case its "impossible" to make it reach 65°C and apparently is quiet too

It uses a reference design. I'd spend a few bucks more to get better cooling.

[obsama1]

You're right. But some DO use reference.
