  1. Overclock your cpu to 4.7, ensure you get a good cooler. For gpus the 6gb variants of the gtx 780 or get the r9 290 or 290x it would be cheaper for equivalent performance +1 vram. In multi monitor setup Vram is key. If you don't believe me a gtx titan will always pull ahead of the 780ti in multi monitor set ups, why is that???2 770's would be enough to run all games on triple 1080p monitors. so...780's should demolish most games.
  2. There is no such thing as a bottle neck in this age when it comes to pc hardware. its just that some hardware perform better than others, that it. It all depend on what you would like to do. do you multitask? stream while gaming? or have youtube and games playing at the same time? do you transcode videos while you game ? an i5 should be good for you.
  3. The 850w psu is round 290w more than you will be consuming in an sli setup. As i said the fans wont turn very fast with your system guaranteeing silence. you can choose variants of those psu even down to 600 or 650w psu for sli. yes...f***ing...... sli. dunno yet though we will have to wait and seeee.... The gtx 980 has a rumored(take with a grain of salt) tdp 170w, your 5930k is gonna be over-clocked (4.6ghz at 1.25v-1.3v probably) that should be in the 190-220w range. You should be pulling from the wall 220+340(sli)= 560w total. Less actually because you would have adaptive mode on. And You wont be taxing 100% of your system with any app at one time for you to be consuming 560w, except during stress testing your entire system (gpu and cpu and ram and hdd and motherboard ). For cooling you would actually be fine with a 480mm radiator or 2*240. More is better but performance gains should be marginal 1-5 degrees probably. the difference in overclocking between air and water for gpus isnt much. your talking a 50-200mhz gain from max air overclock to max water overclock. it all depnds on the temperture yyou are comfortable with on on your gpu. water cooling a cpu on the other hand, the gains are better for sure im talking 100-1300mhz gains from air max to watercooled max. it depend on your silicon either way, but the the possibilitty is there. And the normal benefits of water-cooling like longer lifespan of capaacitors, mosfets, memory and other components. By the way over clocking your gpu doesn't benefit rendering in any way, more vram is better. Cases ()- anything inside is radiator opstions Cubes 1. Lian li pc v359 (240x2) (its retro looking) 2. Caselabs mercury s5(360+240)/(240+240) 3. Fractal node 804 (240+280+120+120) yes.. f***ing impressive, also has 5 expansion slots 4. corsair air 240- this is a case where you air cool the gpus and get a 360mm (240+120) rad for the cpu only. Mini Towers 5. Fractal arc mini r2(360+240) 6. Nanoxia ds 4 (3*120) has sound dampeners 7. Lian li pc v360 (240+120) you could get 45mm 240 and 80mm 120 rad These below aren't out yet..... but the best options ever 7. PHANTEKS MINI XL (an atx case for matx) you would f***ing Love this......... 8. PHANTEKS EVOLVE (i think its a beautiful matx case) (240*2+120) These would be my personal choices in cases. With the new series gpu's I don't know if water-cooling them would be justified. I mean look at the 750 ti for example, on air you could get 1360mhz frequncy and +600 on the memory and be at 70 degrees with 2 fans. If the 900 series are to attest to that , then water-cooling the cards would be for bragging rights or ultimate over-clocks. or nvidia would have to make better memory modules to overclock. Asus, evga, pny, msi coolers are only getting better, add a lower tdp, in 6 years watercooling would be obsolete or rare or a luxury item like how case modding is now. Some Cases now are just too beautiful.
  4. i could help what does he want it for? and does he want a case? or psu?
  5. there is the asus gene, asrock killer, msi gaming, gigabyte
  6. So my question is for us the community, Why don't we request from ek to produce single slot water blocks for nvidia and amd cards in the 900 and 300 series . Imagine three way sli/cfx in a matx x99 system? in a phanteks mini xl? 8core? evga x99 micro? the possibilities would be endless lol. Freaking 5 way crossfire? it would also lead to cleaner builds.

  8. Then get a ek/ alphacool 240/360 /480/ kit. they cost a few extra dollars than a CLC. You can get them from frozen cpu. They include pumps, reservoirs, radiator, tubing fittings. all you have to do later is install the gpu block, and other radiators if you want. for storage i was only suggesting, you could get one 6tb green, what could you do with 12tb of storage? unless you're a program hog that has everything on his computer from since 4th grade, no offense. You could get the 500gb or 250 variants of the ssd, The samsung evo would do good as well, and it is cheaper. Sandisk ultra ii as well. i recommended 800 because you might want to do sli later, maybe, idk people change their minds way to much for my liking. And because the fan wont start up until 375w. utter silence with your gpu and cpu at full load. i dont think you care about that though. i was looking at functionality for the ram adata-not a fan, corsair, geil, kingston, Avexir- i totally recommend they have the color scheme for your motherboard. ram disk is could be used as a caching drive. if you have 12gb of ram as cache, 12gb of program cache would be stored. thats equivalent to around 15-25 program 's cache being stored there. so 25 of your most frequently used programs will be running at the speed of your rams read and writes. ddr4 2133 on aida64 =51000mb/s read and 50000mb/s writes avg. i chose those psu's only because they were high end brand names, my bad other suggestions- cooler master v series rosewill has reliable psu's antec earth-watts evga g1 series are good as well
  9. or you could keep the 770 and do this: You already have a psu to handle this system btw. Don't forget to use ramdisk. Use the m.2 drive as boot drive and 1 or 2 other programs no more. Use the seagate drive for your mains stuff. I chose this drive because it is a enterprise drive, it would last longer, which should decrease the probability of you getting a bad drive. It should be a while before you replace it too. This gpu hype don't fall for it, in rendering anything above a 760 gives you marginal benefit, this includes the titan black (15 percent gain in adobe primier over gtx 760). You would make up with a 30 percent increase with the 6 core vs the 4core. I think this config would be better than a big gpu and 4 cores for video editing. In gaming the gtx 770 should give you max frames at 1080 for most games. This a small form factor build btw. Don't forget to over-clock, you should be safe with a 4.4 ghz (on 6 cores) over-clock with the noctua dh15. And they said you cant do it with 1500 dollars..... they could eat a pack of......
  10. hey you can do what you want...... this is what you will get for 1500/1533 us dollars(check image below). In terms of storage speed, Asrock mb has a Ramdisk software, which should give you double to triple the speed of any pice or sata ssd in terms of in app performance. you coukd dedicate 4gb to your ram disk. Keep your standard hard drive. The gtx 780 6gb should help you even if marginal for your video editing. You could sell the 770 and buy a 6tb wd green hdd or an ssd.
