Hey guys,
Background: My wife & I both like to play World of Warcraft, Multiboxing style. She plays up to 5 accounts, I've played both 5 and 10. 5-boxing brings my wife's rig to it's knees (on lowest setting), mine can handle 5-boxing (not perfect, but playable) but 10-boxing, even with CPU overclocking, is just to much to ask, both systems are at least 3 years old. So I'm planning for some new toys. While I'm at it anyways my old server needs an upgrade to, therefore triple trouble in the making. We're in Germany (for the time being).
Budget: I've just given up having one, got blown and raised at least twice already.
Storage: I'm still waiting for the bigger 2014 Synology NASs to be announced and released (1814+), there for no hard drives just SSDs.
Monitors: she's got 4 , I've got 6.
Peripherals: Logitech G13, G19 & G600.
Goal: More power!!! & Silence.
Here are the plans so far:
System 1 (Server):
Asus Maximus VII Impact
Intel Core i7-4790K
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB DDR3-2400
Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB
Corsair AX760i
System 2 (Mine):
Asus ROG Rampage V Extreme
Intel i7 5960X
Corsair Dominator Platinum 4 x 8 Gb DDR4-2666 CL15 - or - G.SKill RipJaws 4 x 8 Gb Kit DDR4-2666 CL15
Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB
2 or 3 EVGA GTX 980
Corsair AX1200i
System 1 & 2 will bunk together in a HAF Stacker (915-935-915).
System 3 (Wife):
Asus X99 Deluxe
Intel 5820K or 5930K
Samsung 850 Pro 256 GB
Corsair Vengeance 16 GB DDR4-2800 White
1 or 2 EVGA GTX 980
Corsair AX 760i
Corsair Carbide Air 540 Silver Edition
Gona custom water cool both system. Never water cooled before, so we'll see how that works out. Was planning to put an Alphacool NexXxoS UT60 360 & an Alphacool NexXxoS XT45 240 with 5 Corsair SP fans in my Wife's rig. The HAF Stacker, with the two systems in it, has room for 2 360s (60mm) and 2 240s (60 or 80mm) radiators. If there is sufficient room I'll do push-pull on the 240 radiators. I'll be getting EK Waterblocks all round (probably the hydro copper 980s), rigid tubing, Aquacomputer Aquastream XT pumps (will one suffice for the Stacker?) and an Aquacomputer Aquaero 6 to control it all.
Would you change anything, would the 5820K suffice in my wife's rig, what about my water cooling plans, please don't hesitate to elaborate. Would like to get some lighting in both systems, any ideas?. That's about it. Any other advice is off course welcome.
Sorry for the long read.
Thanks sPˊ!ˋKe
