  1. I don't even currently have an SSD even though I'm well aware of the benefits. So having this would be a very nice addition to my Slowpoke pc.
  2. Cool, thanks for the reply. Just checked with power consumption of de D5 pump which are rated at 12V on 2A maximum. So that isn't really all that shocking either, so I think I'm good for this build on that. Total budget for the rig is just over 2k. Monitors will be upgraded at laters date (using 2 1680 x 1050 resolution screens now). As for GFX card, I'm quite set on my choice now. As two GTX970 paired benchmark around the same position as a single 980Ti. Ofcourse I can get the same results using AMD cards. But my experience with AMD isn't the best and the power consumption of AMD is through the roof especially on multi-gpu builds. And I'm trying to keep my power consumption as efficient as possible. Picked the motherboard because it's a themed build. Only other one that fits in the new Gigabyte one that just came out. GA-Z170X-SOC Force or something like that. And that is both hideous and even more expensive. Also, had nothing but issues with my current Radeon card in recent years, so I am not planning on buying AMD for now.
  3. Hey everybody long time lurker here. I am currently in the process of planning my next build but I am currently uncertain wether my PSU will be able to power it all. The plan is to build a hardline watercooling rig with 2 seperate loops for CPU and GPU's seperated. Let me give you a rundown of the current plans. CPU: Intel i5 6600K MB: ASUS Maximus VIII Formula RAM: Corsair 16GB Dominator Platinum kit (2x 8GB) GFX: 2x MSI GTX970 4GD5T OC (Using EKWB Waterblocks) PSU: Corsair RM750i SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB HDD: 2x WD Red 2TB Case: NZXT H440 Black/Orange Now the 750W should just be enough to run the rig with stock aircooling, however im not sure whether it'll hold up running two D5 pumps for both liquid-cooling loops. Should I play it safe and go with an 850W PSU or will the 750W be enough.
