[Hopsasa]

Case: Fractal Design Define R5 Black

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-4790k

SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB

 

SSHD: Seagate Desktop SSHD 2TB

 

PSU: Corsair RM850(850W)

 

GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 980 Ti Gaming 6GB

 

MOBO: MSI Z97A GAMING 7

 

CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61

 

Keyboard: Razer BlackWidow Chromma

is this a good setup? Do i need more fans than the stock Define R5 ones or is it fine? Is 4 cores enough for a little bit of animating?

It's fine but I wouldn't waste your money on a SSHD just get standard HDD and more SSD. I would also get something like a EVGA GS PSU instead.

Looks good to me.

You may want to change the RAM to 4x4 instead of 8x2, it runs better.

 

Very nice GPU (not just saying that because I have one  :lol:)

 

The PSU is decent, but not great. 

 

Overall, I'd say this build is good for the resolution you're looking for.

very nice build but.... get rid of the r5 and get the define s/windowed, it has much more space without the hdd cages, the only reason not to get the define s is if you need an optical drive as there is no optical bay.

 

and as said above an evga g2 or g2 psu.

Im danish and on Komplett.dk its the same price.

if you want to see the inside of the define s i can take pics for you also.

There is no point getting 4x4, it just restricts upgrades later . And it wont give a tangible performance benefit.

What is your maximum budget amount?

 

What is your country's currency?

I would recommend getting and SLI configuration if you want to get as many frames as you possibly can on your monitor. Speaking of the monitor, I would also recommend the Acer XB270HU for its IPS, G-sync, 144Hz goodness which is basically at the same price. I would also recommend getting a separate SSD and HDD, for example 250GB SSD for OS/some programs and a 2TB HDD for everything else. Also PLEASE do not go with that keyboard. Its switches are so crappy compared to cherry switches. If you really want the cool RBG backlighting effects, take a look at the Corsair K70 RGB. It is a beast of a keyboard with true quality.
