I got Bitfenix Alchemy 2xBlue and 2xWhite LED strips included in the total below

The 760T is the white version

 

I am buying it from NCIX and Including shipping internationally it is  US$2699.75

While at Amazon US and newegg US it is nearly $3000

Do you think it is a good value

locally it cost nearly US $3000 as well

Why 1000W PSU?

[DannyRyu]

Curiosity but why 2 1tb's instead of 1 2tb? are you going to Raid it?

[Suffokation]

Consider a X99 Pro to save a bit of cash. I have one and it's great.

Why 1000W PSU?

Want to reuse it in a future build or upgrade which might have multi gpu setup and maybe even custom liquid cooling

Plus it is so cheap to buy it(It is a bargain over amazon us and newegg us prices)

1000W is fine for 3 980s/390Xs really

It is cheap in NCIX now compared to the price at amazon US so I thought it is a good deal

Think it was exclusive (sadly T_T)

Watched the movie version on YT as I don't have a console - loved it.

I would change the CPU cooler to a NZXT x61. 280mm vs the H100i 240mm. I've heard it runs cooler and quieter too.

Curiosity but why 2 1tb's instead of 1 2tb? are you going to Raid it?

My plan is to use the SSD and one 1TB HDD for Windows and the remaining 1TB HDD for Hackintosh.

I am also planning to get my old 320 GB HDD form my Acer Aspire X3810 for installing Linux.

Might reuse the old DVD Drive from my old pc or get a new Blu-Ray one later

@byalexandr

what do you think about my setup ?

@byalexandr

Pretty badass!

[BigDay]

overall, it's a good build. the motherboard is really expensive. you could easily get away with a less expensive msi model. what are you going to be using the pc for?

 

edit:

 

yes, price matching with ncix is the best way to do things
