1. Budget & Location
My buying-location is Germany, Switzerland or the UK (whatever is cheaper). My budget is around 4.000 EUR.
2. Aim
As written in the title I need my PC for several purposes. I'll list them according to their priority:
1. First, I want to play triple-A games in 1440p resolution with at least 60 fps on ultra-settings.
2. Second, I often use my computer for scientific simulations. For instance, using C++ (BLAS-libraries) for matrix multiplication, or using python to simulate a multi-dimensional grid with a value-function over some area. I need such stuff to be fast, because I really despise wait time
3. Third, I want to be able to record videos (1440p, ~30min) and to be able to render/edit them properly in a reasonable amount of time. [< 2 hours]
3. Monitors
I am also going for a new monitor and I plan on using two monitors. My main monitor should have a 1440p resolution, be at least 27" big, and have an IPS panel. The main monitor is the monitor I'm planning to buy new. My second monitor is the Asus MX279H monitor and is already there.
4. Others
I want to build my system in such a way that I leave the door open to buy a second GTX 1080 later on and use SLI.
5. Questions:
I have two specific questions to that built: [but of course all advice is welcome ]
1. pcpartpicker.com mentions in the compatibility check section that "The motherboard M.2 slot #0 shares bandwidth with SATA 6.0 Gb/s ports. When the M.2 slot is populated, two SATA 6Gb/s ports are disabled." . Well, what does that mean and is that critical? ^^
2. a friend of mine mentioned that the "Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3" will might overhang all of my RAM slots. Is that correct? And if so, can you suggest me an alternative which does not have this overhang problem and is also quite quiet?
Thanks for your help!
Best wishes,
L0drik-
