Hey,

 

Here's my recommended computer build based on your specific criteria.

 

I picked out a mid-tower case because those are a bit lighter and easier to move around than full-size towers. This Corsair case has built-in noise suppression features that will reduce the computer noise a bit.

 

I picked out 2 high end graphics card that will take care of any high end gaming and other heavy duty computing that you may do.

 

 
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($317.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-U12S 55.0 CFM CPU Cooler  ($64.99 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($119.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI)  ($668.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Video Card (2-Way SLI)  ($668.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case: Corsair 300R ATX Mid Tower Case  ($87.98 @ Newegg) 
Total: $2457.71
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

1. The cooler is not something very eye catching or at least not in a good way it's one of those things that would make someone go like oh that's a nice build but....

2. The color scheme is great until you get to the again cooler.

3. biggest problem with corsair cases they are design with the intent to put only their AIO's in them

4. MSI has no full block water cooling options what so ever in fact they don't even want the idea to be used but they are a great company for gaming machines.

5. The case itself is blah there is nothing really interesting to it, to me its like spending a few grand on a custom intricate water loop that is absolutely mind blowing then never showing it to anyone.

 

Besides the cons I saw that looks like it could cause some serious noob killing :).

A little paint goes a long way ;).

 

Air cooled cpu in the water cooled area and vise versa xD.

 

I love the choice of graphics cards EVGA is really big on letting people water cool their cards from what I have heard anyway.

 

Biggest problem with micro center is it's a 4 hour drive (with 11mpg) one way to the closest one but If I can get everything there for a very good price then I'll make that trip without problems.

 

Just one version of the expandable version for a water cooler http://pcpartpicker.com/part/swiftech-cpu-cooler-h240x there are others though.

 

The define S case is actually the one I was going to use for my $1000 build it's a very nice looking case.

the air cooler is to be upgrade d but not suckyon its own. Your right but I am worried if the swiftech pump can handel to additional GPU blocks. Do you think so... if you do I will include it. :D

It's supposedly big enough to be able to handle an entire system with an extra radiator gpu and ram block. I have read reviews that it's a 1gpm pump but I haven't seen specs on the pump alone.

 

Edit :: your air cooler is in the watercooling spoiler and the water cooled version is in the air cooled area

Color scheme has no bearing on the performance of the computer build. 

 

If you wanted to kill the computer build based only on the CPU cooler, that's on you.

 

Why do you want to water cool the GPUs? Both GPUs use very silent GPU fans. So... I'm not sure where you're coming from in regards to water cooling.

 

You are aware that liquid cooling systems are NOT quiet? All liquid based cooling systems use a pump... pumps make a lot of noise... but you knew that, right?

 

You said you wanted a quiet computer... having a case with noise suppression features helps in that area, but since you hate it... well... not much I can do about it.

 

Good luck!

1gpm? I am aware. I deciphere between custom loop and air cooling and I count AIOs as air cooling... me just being me at its finest. :P

But more quiet than air compared under load at least, paired with better OC on the water side.

7. Silence is golden as the old saying goes yet I want this built to impress as well for when I build a new system and sell this one for some money to fund the next one in the future. 

 

^ What does that mean to you?

 

I know a lot about a water cooling system and how I can make them quiet I have done very thorough research on the subject not only from youtube but also many forums with water cooling sections and other sites dealing specifically with water cooling. Though I will admit I have no life experience with it.

 

Reason I dislike the cpu cooler is purely because it completely clashes with the rest of the build I'm very ocd about those type of things.

 

​The case is like as i said but I'll change the terminology putting a fully chromed, customized maxed out engine in a rustbucket of a car where the outside does not give justice to the internals again refer to #7 I want this build to look appealing to potential buyers for when I buy a brand new computer later on down the road.

1 gallon per minute.

 

I understand I see nonexpandable AIOs as a glorified air cooler as well. Just considered differently.

You know a lot about liquid CPU cooling, but never personally used one? Ok... whatever works for you. I'm not here to debate.

 

You asked for a computer build and I suggested mine.

 

Again... I go back to my point... color scheme and computer cases do not nor ever will have any impact on computer performance.

 

If you want to impress people 5 years from now when you sell that computer based on looks only... good luck with that.

I said I've done thorough research on them that's about all someone can do. If i have make a compressor for a HVAC system 10x quieter I think a little tiny water pump will be no major feat.

 

Yes color scheme does not have any effect whatsoever on performance but for example you put a hot pink cooler a green gpu 2-4 sticks of purple ram with a blue motherboard in your computer you wouldn't be at all embarrassed to show that to your gaming buddies? I know that's an extreme example but you should get the point.

 

I may not even sell the computer I may give it to my kid(s) down the line after fully maxing it out the future is yet to be decided.

Regardless of the color scheme, if my computer geeks buddies are really serious about the performance aspect of the computer, they could not give a flying fart about what the insides look like.

 

I've seen some really off the wall color schemes, but those computers geeks' computer builds that I have witnessed would blow away many computer builds that I have seen in here.

What's the difference between windows 10 pro and home?

How well would this build do with upgradability (water cooling and such) in mind?

What non-fugly fans would someone recommend for this build I plan to max out my case fans so everything can run at lower rpms while keeping it cold. Where to put them etc. Where the power supply is almost 201mm long I'm not sure if bottom fans would fit in there. Fans would include replacing every stock fan in the build with better ones.

What's the difference between windows 10 pro and home?
How well would this build do with upgradability (water cooling and such) in mind?
What non-fugly fans would someone recommend for this build I plan to max out my case fans so everything can run at lower rpms while keeping it cold. Where to put them etc. Where the power supply is almost 201mm long I'm not sure if bottom fans would fit in there. Fans would include replacing every stock fan in the build with better ones.

 

 

Why did you select a SLOW HDD? Western Digital 7200 RPM HDDs Black series HDDs is a much better option.

 

Google for almost all of your questions that you have posed in that post especially the one about the operating system.

I was thinking a hybrid SSD HDD all in one would be better where I could install the OS on the SSD portion and my games etc on the HDD part am I completely wrong on that?

 

From everything I have read online the case fans in front of the drive bays are SP the rear fan is AF the bottom fan if it will fit as I have not seen anything regarding the max psu size that would allow a 120/140mm fan would be AF and the radiator fans would be SP. The problem is what brand is quiet at all rpms for AF and SP so the build stays quiet even under loads, with new fans coming out every couple of months its hard to get a clear picture of what does this.

 

Far as windows was concerned I was only worried about ram but it supports 128gb on home so that's fine by me which is the max for this motherboard.

 

Edit:: this motherboard does have M.2 compatibility would that be better suited for the boot drive? Then just a HDD for games?

Something like this maybe or a standard SSD? What is better overall?

Well...

 

Regarding the hybrid drives... at first glance, it looks like it would be faster, but in reality... it's not. Why? The speed of the HDD portion will slow down the speed of the SSD portion, therefore, making it (for all intents and purposes) a glorified 7200 RPM HDD with a high price tag.

 

Your best bet is to get either a 250 GB or 500 GB Samsung 850 EVO series SSD, then go with a Western Digital 7200 RPM 1 TB or 2 TB HDDs. That is the most logical way of building this. The SSD will act as a boot up drive and you can install something like Office Suite or some other software on the boot drive. Then, for the rest of your software, put those on the HDDs.

 

Your question about if this motherboard that I had recommended has the M.2 slot? Yea, it does... this is a direct cut & paste from ASRock's website and you'll see M.2 listed.

 

10 SATA3, 1 eSATA, 1 Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3)
10 USB 3.0 (4 Front, 6 Rear), 7 USB 2.0 (4 Front, 1 Back, 1 Fatal1ty Mouse Port, 1 Vertical Type A)

I've read that M.2 would yield 4-10x faster boot times etc is there any truth behind this at all? If so then I assume it would be easier and better just to have that M.2 as my boot drive than using a regular SSD or is there a major downside to M.2 technology that I haven't come across yet?

Never heard that M.2 would provide that much speed over conventional SSD in terms of boot up times. 

 

However, there are reports that I have seen where a M.2 drive would not be recognized as the boot up drive due to the drive being in a slot as opposed to a SATA. 

I read that about 3 months ago. So, I don't know if there is a work-around in that area. 

 

For all intents and purposes, SSDs (in SATA) boot up pretty fast. I don't see too much of a benefit using a M.2 based devise. That's just my opinion.

I was reading someone's help topic and M.2s were brought up with some testing links and people were saying 4x-10x and in some cases with certain motherboards even up to 32x faster. I just don't understand anything about them.

 

The way I figure things there is always that chance for a computer part to not work as advertised being it was a manufacturer's mistake or shipping damage in both cases they should be returnable for either a new one or money back. On the in-case something like that does happen I have some old SSDs just to test to make sure it wasn't a motherboard problem. I may add in a new SSD to the build for the games and such that I semi-regularly use then just use the HDD for system images etc.

 

If the M.2 I picked out works as advertised would something like that be a good idea?

Well, if you are able to get the computer to recognize the M.2 device as the bootup drive, then go for it.
