Thanks for replies guys

See i was thinking something like that, but in Euros not dollars. I dont understand the european tech market it's completely all over the shop. 

Hi, i have a computer i built, tinkered with and over all put effort into, however i dont have time for it anymore and will be moving soon hopefully.

Anyway i was hoping for some people to suggest a fair price for what I'm offering, i dont want to overprice it due to my bias towards it and its value to me as a whole. I also dont want to underprice it obviously, tell me what you think is fair, I'll list parts below. For reference im in the european market area. Thanks in advance.

Fans - 6 chromax fans from noctua
Cpu Cooler - NZXT kraken x62
Ram - 16GB ddr3  1866mh corsair vengeance low profile
Motherboard - Asus z97 pro gaming
CPU - i7 4790k @ 4.8gh
GPU - gigabyte 980ti g1 gaming

id' go d5 just because i've heard the DDC run at full speed.

both will serve your purpose   head pressure = how high it can pump vertically. flow is a measure of rotation of the fluid in side the loop.

 

it will come down to a aesthetic aspect of your build DDC is smaller and a heatsink is recommended to keep it from getting to hot.  D5 is significantly larger. but much quieter as well it keep its self cooled by pumping the fluid.

D5 it is then so, noise is a no no for me, hense the interest in the gtx radiators to begin with

Depending on your budget I would go with a D5 pump or maybe a DDC if you can keep it cool. I always run pumps at full speed and just adjust my fan speeds but that's just preference

See ive heard ddc is better for restrictive situation and has more pressure but i also heard that theyre louder and produce a whine, having owned neither i cant judge, if i could keep a ddc cool would it be better than a d5? Would i lose much flow rate? Curious about this now. Thanks again

From what I could find, the Nemesis GTR has shorter fins, allowing for it to have more coolant tubes (lower restriction), more fin arrays (higher fin surface area) and overall higher airflow scaling compared to the Nemesis GTX. This is aimed more for people wanting med-high airflow, or push-pull fan configuration. The Nemesis GTX is still going to outperform this at low airflow/noise.

Thanks for that, summed it up very well in a clean a quick response that made sense. However being that the gtr has lower restriction in the coolant flow, wouldnt that mean i could run the pump at a lower speed than the gtx? Perhaps im need to look a little more into pumps now?

So i was just wondering about the difference between hardwarelabs nemesis gtx and gtr radiators. What's the difference? When should i use one over the other? I am a complete watercooling noob, however wanted to do a project in near future maybe and im curious, any better radiators out there? I'd most likely  go with 140mm variant just because i already have a bunch noctua chromax 140 fans. Anyway whats the difference between the two? if anyone could explain? Thanks

Can I assume that you don't have the original box of your GPU and/or motherboard anymore?

Yeh its nothing new, just havnt needed to upgrade just yet.

No, I would definitely remove the RAM. Those RAM stick protrude too much and - although they might seem to be fixed quite well - a RAM slot is still a fragile component of the motherboard.

On the other hand, I recommend to leave the CPU in it's socket. Those pins can be bend very easily. So the socket is a safe place to transport your processor.

 

Both RAM and CPU don't require an anti-static bag.

Thanks, been helpful. I think ill do this. Just need to get some anti static bags i guess.

You could take a flight from Ireland to England.

 

- Make a back up of all the data on the SSD.

- Put the graphics card in an anti-static bag.

- Put the motherboard in an anti-static bag.

- Take a suitcase, fill it with your PC components and surround them with your clothes. Your clothes will serve as soft "padding" for your components, securing them in place and absorbing any potential shocks.

You might also consider taking your motherboard and your graphics card (both in an anti-static bag) in your hand luggage.

Would i leave the ram in the motherboard?

I just need to take the gpu, motherboard, ram,cpu, power supply and ssd. Ive got new case here and cpu cooler 

Maybe bubble wrap and put it in overhead cabinbag in the plane?

Use a courier like DHL, FEDEX, TNT, UPS etc., to ship the remaining components to you in England.

 

Which components do you still need to ship? Perhaps it is easier to just take them with you on a plane/ferry?

Is the ferry an option?

No unfortunately in my case.

Put it in a suitcase, pay the fee for extra luggage, ship over in the plane when you go.

What about the baggage handler throwing it around ect? 

Well i need to get a plane from ireland to england. Thats the trouble. Any ideas?

I have moved from ireland to england and i dont know how to get my PC over here. I have a new case, cooler over here, i just dont know how to get the rest of the parts here safely? Do i take them in pieces? If so how do i package them? Im just at a loss, can anyone help? I would be flying it over to be clear on transport.

thanks everyone im taking all feed back into consideration rethinking some choices

Its a hell of a lot better then that 170$ gigabyte board you had.

really i was only looking at it because it had intel networking and dual bios which sound handy oh and it looks nice but so does the the msi  and it has a nicer uefi 

OK that's fine. I still recommend getting a skylake cpu, because then the ddr4 memory can be reused for later builds.But idk of its a lot more expensive in Ireland. Then I guess haswell is great.

yeah i would have looked at skylake but its is more expensive as a whole here and now hearing stuff about them bending with some coolers i kept on the haswell side of things

Just a list I made up nice and quick, nice black and red theme.

this looks really nice thanks i was actually looking at that board but i keep hearing killer ethernet is terrible? people saying it destroys you download and in some case make ping worse 

I love that case its in my top three. I would go with skylake and DDR for for this high end of a system. Because its only a little more and ddr4 will be used for a while, and its only $10 more for the same amount (even though its at faster speeds.) Also why an i7? An i5 is fine for gaming.

yeah i edited the post i chose i7 for editing ect 

Looks really good

I would change the cooler to something a bit beefier if you plan to overclock, which by the look of it you do if youre getting a K chip and Z97 board.

PLEASE do not get the V300 SSD, something like the MX100, MX200, 840/850 EVO, Intel 530/730 are all much much better options.

Unless you plan to get another 980Ti, 850W is a bit much for your setup.

And I also cant really recommend that case, sorta low end for such a high end setup, I suggest looking into something of a bit more quality.

thanks yeah i was originally looking at 750w but people kept saying i would just be scraping by which confused me because i have done my research thee ssd advice is a SHOUT cheers 

Hi i have wanted to build a pc for years but i always felt if i was going to do it i should do it right well i didn't have the funds 2 years ago to build what i wanted but i do now so i just wanted to hear some experienced builders thoughts and critic of what i have been looking at please note that i'm in ireland and plan on buying the parts elsewhere and the link i post below is just to show what i have had my eyes on oh and if it wasn't obvious this would be my first build and i'm open to suggestions

also if someone could tell me why gigabytes mobo drivers on their site have european download with russian in brackets eg: EUROPE (RUSSIA) 
that is all critic away be gentle this is my first time on here 

EDIT: i plan on doing some editing ect also that why i went i7
