Moose got a reaction from asusfan in Can You Tell Me if This is a Good Build Plan
Ok I would like some of your guy's opinions on my build. Right now my labtop MoBo went (also like 8 years old), so I am in the market place for a new computer. I am planing to build a custom liquid cooling loop after. Here are the specs
Cpu Intel Haswell i7-4770K $384.99
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=81325&vpn=BX80646I74770K&manufacture=Intel&promoid=1288
MB Asus Maximus Vi Formula $300 - 400 no price yet on it or wedsite link
Case I would like help for this pick. I would like a side window without a fan, also would like to have room to put my radiators inside when I get to water cooling. I love the look of the 900d but there is a lot of space that I don't need. I have looked at the 800d it is nice but I don't fall in love with it. Not on a budget so would like help making a final decision.
Ram Corsair Vengeance Pro Series 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 DRAM 1866MHz $153.98
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=84347&vpn=CMY16GX3M2A1866C9B&manufacture=Corsair
SSD Samsung 840 Pro SSD 258GB $244.99
http://www.ncix.com/products/sku=77219&vpn=MZ%2D7PD256BW&manufacture=Samsung%20Memory%20%26%20Storage&promoid=1288
HDD WD Caviar Black 2TB 7200 RPM 3.5IN $159.99
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=58376&vpn=WD2002FAEX&manufacture=Western%20Digital%20WD&promoid=1288
GPU EVGA Geforce GTX 780 3GB $679.99
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=84056&vpn=03G%2DP4%2D2781%2DKR&manufacture=eVGA
Power Corsair AX 860 modular Power Supply $199.98
http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=77641&vpn=CP%2D9020044%2DNA&manufacture=Corsair
or should I go with AX 860i?
http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=77638&vpn=CP%2D9020037%2DNA&manufacture=Corsair&promoid=1288
OS Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Edition $147.99
http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=45275&vpn=FQC%2D04649&manufacture=Microsoft
I know drives look ugly but I would like one.
Drive Asus BC-12B1ST $64.08
http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=64648
After I put this computer together I will air cool for right now, but when i make some more money, I will build a custom water loop.
Cooling fans will be both Noctua NF- F12 whenever I don't see them, and other better looking/performance fans where i do see them. I would like some help here too. (120mm fans)
Noctua Fans $22.99x a few
http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=66920
Fan controller NZXT Sentry LX $59.99
http://www.ncix.ca/products/?sku=33524
along with the fan controller I will be getting Bitspower X-Station $18.36 x2
http://us.ncix.com/products/?mode=productreviewread&product_id=30588
That is all and for the grand total $2482.70 + 350 or less for case + fans
I would like to see what you guys think of the build?
