Some questions

[FallemC]

Hi,

    so i probably look really needy now because i keep asking stuff on here everyday. this computer will be used for high end gaming and photo shop, modding stuff like the and multi mead center.

 

so buying a Mercury S8 and a Mercury S8 Pedestal and some other stuff on my wishlist. the over all price will be around $4,000.00 - $5,000.00 USD. so one of the questions is, i was wondering where i should put the rads and what size should I put because I'm not sure. the loop will have 2 blocks as of now a its will have a CPU block and a GPU block so fare i might double the GPU blocks but not sure if i want to yet. the second question i have is about a res and a pump. the case will have windows on the side panels so that you can see into it, so  i would like a cool looking res buts i don't want to sacrifice quality for a cool looking one.

 

 

here is two parts lists that i was think about. let me know what you think and i know is missing the Video Card and that's because im not sure on that i do have a few ideas but let me know what you think i should it can be one or two cards.

One thing, if you are WC'ing, get eh 4770k so you can OC. The non k edition isn't unlocked

First you DO NOT need a 1200 watt PSU a 750 is more than enough second please don't get a sound card as it's barely better than the onboard and third just get a 500GB SSD and save your money also where's the GPU and a 4670k is a much better buy.

Do you need a 1tb ssd?

You don't need VT-d unless your running VMs and need complete integration.

Don't get a pedestal for the S8. That case itself is a beast for WC. Even if you have 4-way SLI config' in that case, you will have enough space for rads. I think you can fit like 3x360 + 240 in there which is more then enough.

 

For number of rads, if you are just using it for a 4770 non K, and a single GPU, a single 240 is enough.

 

The 240 Feser Rad is one of the most highest quality WC radiators on the market currently. They got a 360 version too.

The way it's built, it rivals 360-480 Rads in heat dissipation performance. Also, looks darn sexy.
