New RIG Build/Setup

Stuffing
 Share
Posted

Hey guys, I was looking for some help. I'm a casual gamer, who hosts servers and does some photoshopping and the common internet browsing. I've recently begun to watch Linuses videos on youtube and was planning on getting a new PC built along with new peripherals such as a headset/monitor/keyboard. I want to get a full blown RGB Variable color display case and Keyboard so it will match my Variable Color Razer Mamba mouse. I am looking for something that would be good, maybe even overkill. I am simply looking for the best, and I don't have a budget to what I will spend so if anyone could suggest me a Case/Parts and even peripherals to use that would be great. Thanks for reading this, and I hope you have some suggestions!

 

EDIT: I also would like to know if it is suggestive to run two 500GB SSD's in Raid 1 to double up storage capacity, as well as whether I should go with Dual Monitors at 24 inches or a bigger monitor at (say 28 or more inches)

If you just playing in a 1080p monitor 1000$ budget is a sweetspot (without peripherals) for a gaming pc. But ok! let me choose the parts :)

You said you want a beast and here it is and you said you don't have a budget. I couldn't add the rgb keyboard because it's not out yet. It more than enough for 4k gaming.
Edit: The monitor i put on their isn't 4k, fixing it now
Edit 2: fixed

Really looking for an RGB/Variable Lighting Case, and I don't believe it is available on that case? Thanks for the share though, definitely want to be able to support a 4K Monitor in my next build as I'm looking for the best display possible.

I don't think theirs a rgb case but you can buy rgb led strips and put it in your case and control the led by a led controller.

It won't let me quote you? :huh: The NZXT Phantom 820 is the only case I know of that has RGB Lighting built in but I will definitely take into consideration the RGB LED Strips.

Hahaha, You didn't have to. Will all those parts fit in it still and while I'm at it I was contemplating getting two Dell 24 Inch UP2414Q's for 4K Monitors (Tiny Desk and Not sure whether to go bigger or double up?) Is it also suggestable to run two 500GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD's in Raid 1 to double up the storage capacity?

Thanks Prometheus for another build to take into consideration! (I actually may use a cheaper one, I have two desktops currently and I believe it is time to upgrade both.)

No, Your build is good as it stands I am looking for all-out performance on one, while the other is meant for just casual use/gaming sometimes. (Installed Chrome to make it actually work when I quote now!)

the NZXT phantom 820 has build in hue system Linus review- 

PCpartpicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-caph820w1 but you can also purchase the NZXT hue lighting system to add to any other case with i think a 3.5inch bay at the front cost around $30 i believe. Theres also the Bitfenix Alchemy LED cables you can buy
