I have a question about a build I'm interested in doing.. Is all of this compatible?

[saltysnacks]

If this is in wrong section sorry!!


What do you guys think of a build like this? Is it all compatible? Can I run all games out currently plus future games? Main games I'm wanting to play are ARMA 3 online like the life mods etc.. Grand theft auto 5. Ark survival evolved etc..

What resolution should I play on and what settings can I play on with these specs? Would you recommend 2 monitors? This will be my first ever gaming pc I have built/owned do I just need that one liquid cooler for both graphics cards or do I need another?

Any changes you would make?

I pretty much copy pasted this build http://techbuyersguru.com/2500-extreme-4k-gaming-pc-build

Intel Core i7-5820K
Asus X99-A/USB3.1
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti SC+ 6GB x 2 (sli)
Corsair 4x4GB DDR4-2666 Black
Samsung 850 Evo 1TB
EVGA Supernova GS 1050W
Corsair Hydro H105 Liquid Cooler
Samsung SH-224FB 24x DVD Burner
Corsair Graphite Series 780T case

Any hints/tips/tricks are appreciated I'm a total noob at computers and any feedback is welcomed thank you!

Can I have the Samsung 850 Evo 1TB and a Samsung SM951 512GB AHCI MZHPV512HDGL-00000 M.2 80mm PCIe 3.0 x4 SSD - OEM? or is that not compatible/not recommended with my setup?

All compatible, but a bit OTT if mostly for gaming.

You can choose between a big wide monitor http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/dell-u3415w-34-inch-ultra-wide-curved-monitor,4186.html

multiple monitors, and a single great 4K monitor. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/philips-4k-bdm4065uc-monitor,27977.html???

You do not really need a liquid cooler at all. with a big case and good fans, and a big air CPU cooler, things should be fine. The power/heat is actually modest for a system at this price. I'd go to at least 3000Mhz for the memory.

I don't think that your CPU can run SLI and M2 and all the SATA and other stuff on the 20 available lanes.

An i7 4790K system, or even Xeon 1231v3 system would be nearly as good and a couple of hundred cheaper.

I'm answering your PM here in case the information is useful to others.

This is a system with 3000Mhz DDR4 memory. For your motherboard, the default speed/voltage of memory is 2133 Mhz. To get further requires overclocking.

This is pretty simple to do.

Boot the system into BIOS
Go to the Overclocking
Go to the memory settings.
Select the XMP profile already set up in your system for 300Mhz memory
Clock a single button to activate it and automatically set everything, including voltage.
Back out save the settings and re-boot.


Run something like CPU-Z to check that it worked.

Takes a minute or two when you know how to do it, and I.ve been doing it a lot over the summer with my Science Fair system.
