Desk Build

[rbrooks007]

I am going to build a desk PC and want some experts to look at my hardware specs.

From OC the parts are around £3900 but im sure i can get for less.

The desk size will depend on the piece of glass i can buy for the top from ebay but im aiming for 1m x 2m ish.

 

2 x Zotac GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Gaming 11264MB GDDR6 PCI-Express Graphics Card

 

Asus ROG Maximus XI Hero Intel Z390 (Socket 1151) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

 

Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6GHz (Coffee Lake) Socket LGA1151 Processor - Retail

 

2 x EK Water Blocks EK-RES X3 250 RGB Reservoir

 

2 x EK Water Blocks EK-XTOP Revo D5 RGB PWM - Plexi (incl. pump)

 

2 x XSPC Razor Neo RTX 2080 RGB Tempered Glass Graphics Card Water Block - Black Chrome

 

EK Water Blocks EK-Velocity RGB Intel CPU Water Block - Full Nickel

 

be quiet! Straight Power 11 1000W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply

 

Samsung 970 EVO Plus Polaris 500GB M.2 2280 PCI-e 3.0 x4 NVMe Solid State Drive

 

5 x Seagate 2TB BarraCuda 7200RPM 256MB Cache Internal Hard Drive (ST2000DM008)

 

Team Group Vulcan T-Force 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 PC4-25600C16 3200MHz Dual Channel Kit - Black/Grey (TLGD

 

Plus cables other things.

 

I intend to use copper tubing in the 2 cooling loops.

 

Not sure about connecting 2 GPU PCI to the Mobo?? Will i be able to get a pci adapter/cable??

 

Not sure if you can see the diagram...red is GPU, yello is CPU

I wouldn't bother with SLI unless there are other things you can use two gpu's for ? It seems to be dying out for gaming.

 

If you are going with Intel then the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master is a better board than the Asus. Has a much stronger VRM.

 

Also check out Sabrent Rocket for the SSD. They come in at a cheaper price point than Samsung. Really good value and have a 5 year warranty.

I meant if you can use two gpu's for other things apart from gaming. If not then a single gpu is the best option.

I want the 2 GPU's for the look more than anything and i have been looking at 1080ti's. 2nd hand 2 are cheaper than 1 2080ti and some reviews say theres not much in it>
