Need help making a build for 6000usd/51000Nok

Hi.

 

I need help making a rig since I do not have a lot of experience with pc components.
As said in the titel, I am going to be making a rig that is worth approximately 6000 dollars.
I hope you guys can use these sites since in America or almost every other country in the world is cheaper than here in Norway: (for watercooling) https://www.techbay.no/ (for everything else) https://www.netonnet.no/ https://www.komplett.no/ The max price on these individual sites together must be maximum of 51 000 Norwegian Kroner.And one more thing, I want to get the second 1080p monitor since I want to have two.

 

I am going to be playing on a dual monitor 1080P 144Mhz setup and I know for this price it is complete overkill but I just want to be "futureproof" and I am not going to be upgrading for quite some time so that is why I am spending so much.
I want the rig to be silent and as cool as possible. I just want to max out every game on 1080p, max everything and get smooth frame rates. I am going to be streaming whilst gaming, video editing, photo editing and just everyday use. There is not much else to say except thank you in advance!

 

What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using.

Hi. The things I will be doing with this pc is gaming,streaming, video editing, photo editing and just browsing on the net.
What is your maximum budget before rebates/shipping/taxes?

The maximum price for the entire build is 51 000 Kroner from these websites: https://www.techbay.no/ (for watercooling if needed) https://www.komplett.no/ https://www.netonnet.no/ (for everything else)
When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Note: beyond a week or two from today means any build you receive will be out of date when you want to buy.

I plan to build this as soon as I am told the best parts for the rig.
What, exactly, do you need included in the budget? (Tower/OS/monitor/keyboard/mouse/etc)

What I need included in the price is the os, A nice(not 4k) monitor and a nice mechanical keyboard and a good webcam(like the c920)
Which country (and state/province) will you be purchasing the parts in? If you're in US, do you have access to a Microcenter location?

I will be purchasing the parts from norway.
If reusing any parts (including monitor(s)/keyboard/mouse/etc), what parts will you be reusing? Brands and models are appreciated.

I already have a BenQ XL2420Z but I want a second one for streaming, Razer Naga mouse.
Will you be overclocking? If yes, are you interested in overclocking right away, or down the line? CPU and/or GPU?

I plan on overclocking down the line both the cpu but maybe not the gpu. I am not sure of that yet.
Are there any specific features or items you want/need in the build? (ex: SSD, large amount of storage or a RAID setup, CUDA or OpenCL support, etc)

There isn't really anything specific I want in the pc except an ssd or two for my os and applications I acces often and I need some hard drive space since I will need that for pictures and videos.
Do you have any specific case preferences (Size like ITX/microATX/mid-tower/full-tower, styles, colors, window or not, LED lighting, etc), or a particular color theme preference for the components?

I want the build to be dark colors so for example black and red and a window would be nice.
Do you need a copy of Windows included in the budget? If you do need one included, do you have a preference?

As said in the earlier part of this I do need an os and One I prefer is windows 10.
I am going to playing in 1080p or 1440p(depends on the monitor you recommend) but I just want to max out almost every game that is why I am spending so much and I will not be upgrading for a while and I hope you have a good day!

That's a boatload of money you got there!

 

I notice that 144FPS is often limited by CPU, so you want one with a lot of GHZs!

Ill dig out the render PC I recently built for someone and tune it for gaming.

 

Just saying you might be better off spending ~3K and then spending more in a couple years. (I.E.) Keep upgrading GPUs every year, because Pascal and Volta should be massive performance jumps (and AMD equivalents)

 

But essentially

 

5960X

1TB SSD

2x GTX 980 Ti

32GB Ram

Seasonic does not exist in my country unfortunately. I want some more performance out of the rig if possible. I am not saying your build is bad but i just want to squeeze more frames in the budget. Bang for the buck in this situation is almost non existent.

The cpu's almost go over the budget from the start and one video card, you are right at the limit. I wish I could do something like that though.

If you really wanna spend some cash;

 

Drop in a 5960X, Swap to an X99 Deluxe/Rampage V.

EDIT: The "Upgraded" Build

Still $2000 to play with for upgrades next year. Maybe the AX1200i or something better is worth it. BUT IMO get this and just upgrade GPUs each cycle. Will save you a bunch of cash and work out better in the long run.

 

Better way is simply change the GPUs every year. Maybe the 5960X is worth it to you but to me for gaming it really isnt.

In america you might have 2000 dollars left but on my site I just barely have 365 dollars to spend on the most expensive build.

I live in the UK. Honestly I wouldnt get the 5960X, id get a 5820K and that will leave you ~1000US. Which is a nice saving.

 

Personally I use a 5930K and our video guy is using a 5960X, outside a couple of tasks you cant tell the difference (compiling our game engine and rendering out movies - neither of which I do much).

 

Even the rendering is actually not as much as you would think because Premiere + CUDA is just pure Win.

 

Also a tip buy parts as they are on special :). Or goto other Eurozone countries if thats feasable and cheap. (You can also use other countries Amazons)

Also a tip buy parts as they are on special :). Or goto other Eurozone countries if thats feasable and cheap. (You can also use other countries Amazons)

Okay. I'll get the 5930k instead :) The problem is when we buy things from other countries that is over 33 dollars we have to pay an extra 25% of the cost. It kinda sucks. How do you think the 980 ti will perform when dx12 comes out, better than the fury x?

Unless you plan to go 3 Way SLI + 2x PCI-E SSDs there is no reason to get a 5930K over a 5820K. (I will be running a quadro + 2 Pascal GPUs + 2 PCI-E SSDs).

 

Fury X should win for DX12, but if you are using anything that is CUDA accelerated CUDA absolutely kills OpenCL (Due to software support atm - because CUDA can be programmed in 6 standard languages - OpenCL uses its own C like syntax). That said premiere isnt half bad with the openCL now.. so its coming but its not there yet.

Ill never forget the time I was going to US anyway, bought 2x GPUs and the saving paid for my ticket :P.

Nice! I plan on going for an sli config in the start and maybe buy a third one down the line. I have been thinking for a bit... Maybe I could go with a single card but watercool it and down the line I can buy a second one. I will be using the 5820k if I go with this. What do you think of that idea?

Itll leave you abilty to use 1x m.2 PCI-E SSD, but honestly 3 way SLI is a bit iffy at best (in actual gain vs the price). I would think about maybe a cheap quadro however in the future if you get a 10bit colour monitor.

 

I run a custom loop, its awesome [my CPU doesnt go above 45C on the hottest core at max load, @ 1.3V) but be warned watercooling gets very expensive; very quickly, If its your first time its gonna cost you about $1000 to cool CPU + 2x GPUs, on top of a bigger (and more expensive case) .

As for components; A lot of it is personal choice but see here:

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/441998-first-time-water-cooler/

 

I would personally recommend 3/8" ID Soft Tubing (I use 1/2" ID but its not very newbiew friendly). In terms of tubing Primochill Primoflex LRT is basically the bomb.

 

Also watch plenty of videos and read through the stickies on overclock.net and other tech forums. There is a BUNCH of stuff to do.

Damn... Watercooling is awesome but expensive-.- But hey, some just need the best of the best!

All the supremacy EVOs are the same block; its only cosmetic differences.

 

Personally for my build I went with the full nickel. Although the Red Acetal top was really tempting (I have a rampage V). I woul get an X-RES Pump and Reservoir combo.

 

I have a Primochill 360mm Tube Res + EK Top + D5 with a custom mounting system that works - but its not very easy to work with. I had to make custom mounting brackets and everything because Primochill's mounting hardware sucks!

 

Something like this is nice and easy to use; and looks fairly nice.: https://shop.ekwb.com/ek-xres-140-d5-pwm-incl-pump

 

I would go coloured tubing and distilled water + PT Nuke/Mayhems Biocide. If you need to drain it the coolant is super cheap, and buying new tubing is a lot cheaper than having stained everything and having to b uy a whole new load of equipment. After initialrun for a couple weeks (to flush out the gunk thats invariably there, so a quick drain, check and refill and you should be good for 6-12 months at a time (As long as you topup with Biocide and Distilled)

 

Also get that Mayhems blitz. For the Filter I use: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=WC-115-AQ
