Need a second opinion and tips. (part 2)

[Xan]

Since nobody answers anymore on my first topic, I have decided to revive it. I have made an alternative build and yet again ask for your opinion and hints. I'm an Intel and nVidia guy. This rig costs €1 725,00. My budget is €1750,00. My goal is to play games like Rome Total War 2 and GTA 5 on 60 fps, use Cinema 4D, Unreal engine 3 and programming on 1080P. I will use 1 TV(movies) and a monitor(the rest).

CPU Intel Core i5-4690K 

GPU Asus GTX780 DC2OC-3GD5

RAM *I still have 2 sticks of 4GB-1600 left

SSD Corsair ForceGS 2,5" SSD 128 GB

HDD * I will use my previous HDDs

Motherboard Asus Z97-AR

Power Supply Aerocool Strike-X CM EN53891

Case Aerocool Mechatron Black

CPU Cooling Corsair H80i + Silent Wings 2 2*120 mm

Case Fans be quiet! Silent Wings 2 5*140 mm

SATA-cables 0,50m (6) red

Keyboard Roccat Isku - Illuminated Gaming Keyboard

Mouse *still searching

Mouse Mat Echelon Gaming Mouspad

Monitor Asus VN248H

 

My previous rig is described on http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/200815-need-a-second-opinion-and-tips/

That case and PSU are awful, the case is more a personal preference thing so I was just making my opinion known. However you should only get PSU's from the likes of Corsair, Rosewill, Seasonic, Silverstone, Be Quiet, Cooler Master, and EVGA. Everything else is scrap metal hardly fit to power a toaster much less a PC.

That mobo looks ballin`

 

But i cant comment on psu or case. I belive Andyson is the manufacturer of psu. Totally unknown for me. Id rather get 500w psu and something reputable. This build will pull a maximum of around 400 watts while gaming.

What case do you would you choose? Carbide 200R windowed or Carbide 300R?

I would shoot for 600w to have some headroom for overclocking and expansion.

 

on a slightly related note @OP you should give people a little longer to reply to your threads or simply bump them by posting on it instead of making an entirely new thread.

oh, thats true for sli he would need 600w

 

but for just overclocking even 500w will do

 

everyone should see that 

 

ofcourse with shit power supplies, that doesnt apply because they cant hold up even 60+% load since they are rated too high

but for other, 80% load is no problem considering wattage rating is true and those are quality ones

I've seen that video but I wasn't thinking of 780 SLI on a 600W PSU. I was thinking more about HDD expansion as he mentioned Cinema 4D which if I remember correctly is a 3D rendering program of some sort and I imagine that will take up a good bit of storage.

Please recomend me a good case. €80 max.

oh ok. yea i think a bit more would be better yes. my estimation was wrong for at least 50 watts. 

so around 700w minimum 650w (something like supernova nex from EVGA) for crossfire

550w for his system ? xfx has pretty cheap power supply made by seasonic.
