The Dark One. First Step: Planning.

[Izaya Orihara]

So it's decided. I shall not wait any longer. I shall build the Dark One now and not wait for Haswell-E and the 800 Series. 

 

What i came up with. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3ulbn (The motherboard does fit.  http://pcpartpicker.com/b/Ocn)

 

I'm in germany so prices are diffrent if you want to suggest another build please use www.geizhals.de (german pcpartpicker that frikken works as opposed to de.pcpartpicker.com) 

 

I'm trying to make this build a very quiet yet powerful pc. I'll be video-editing on this machine almost everyday. (Hence the 4930k) Obviously i will also game on this rig. Also I did choose 780ti's because 1. The come in full black and then you can put on the stickers. (I won't do that) 2. They are powerful. 3. Shadowplay. (I record a lot of gameplay because I'm sort of a Youtube partner now.) 

 

I want this to be silent. I write a lot on my PC. Like a lot. (For the university) And i don't want anything to disturb me while doing so. 

 

I'm going for a minimalistic design here. I'll have the H440 painted to be fully black.  

 

I'll be gaming in either 2160p or 1440p. Still have to decide. 

 

I hope this is enough information and thanks for helping me out.

 

@ now you can critique the components.

Id Swap The PSU For The EVGA SuperNova 1000 G2 Or CoolerMaster V1000

For the EVGA one i'll say no because it has red cabels. And why should i take a V1000? Give me a reason to do it.

Will that mobo fit?

fx 8150 maybe?  B)

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-03gp42888kr

It's not all black... And it does not come with a back plate... Also the DCU2 is fully black. 

Also i heard that the superclocked cards are little louder than the DCU2 cards.

You aren't @helping (See what I did there)

evga sells back plates if you must have one, also its always fun to do some modding

Nah i'll stick to the Asus one.

Yeah but the RM Series PSU is quieter and has these great flat cabels. 

[jaffacakes]

I'd change the RAM to DDR3 1866 instead, since the CPU supports it better.

What kind of crazy editing will require you to have 32 GB of RAM? Also from what I've been told, price to performance it might be better to go with two 780s instead, where you aren't losing THAT much power for most of the demanding tasks you'd do. Plus, when I've inquired about adding a second 780 to my rig the consensus seems to be a 850 watt PSU is all I'd need versus the 1000 watt you have listed.

IVY-E's memory controller can do up to 2133 mhz on all eigth channels at the same time...

Adobe... And sure it would be a better deal but 1. I like to have the top card. 2. The 780 Asus DCU2 comes with the stickers already applied and i'm going for fully black not red and black. And yes it will run on 850 Watts but I like nice numbers.

I would not get an 850 if I where you. It's cutting it close and if you want to overclock you're going to have a bad time. The other thing is don't get 5900rpm drives. The fact that you would even consider getting those is quite surprising.

It's supposed to be silent. 7200 rpm hdd's are to damn loud. 

[KamiKatze]

Sounds like a great build. I am aiming for a similar PC (allthough a bit tuned down, because money) in the long run.

 

Your build screams to use bequiet products. I'd recommend all bequiet fans and a Dark Power Pro 1000W PSU. It's bad ass, stealthy and fully modular.

 

If you want great silence i would not put HDDs into the PC. I am currently having absolute silence at idle but my HDD (WD green) is quite annoying. I think about replacing it with a large SSD some time, but again -> money...

 

So you could put those two WD reds into a NAS, far away from your desk, to outsource that noise. Instead just go with SSDs only (single, raid 0, or whatever)

 

NAS enclosures don't have to be that expensive, you're adding 100€ at max, but in return you get rid of the noise and have yourself a 4 TB personal cloud!

 

 

btw. what's your youtube?

There will be  six be quiet! Silent Wings 2 in the build. But for the PSU... no. Do you really expect me to use this 

 

in my build? Is this what you call stealth?

 

Also that my be an option. Could you sugget me a NAS enclosure? (If possible it should be able to take up to 4 HDD's without being insanely big. Also in black please.) I don't mind a little bit of a price tag.

Those are the cables for the Dark power Pro? I remember them flat ribbon and completeley black. I'd sleeve it anyways but those blue end connectors are ugly, that's true. You'd have to switch those aswell.

 

Seasonic's Platinum series are an option then, imo.

 

For the NAS.... I am really happy with my 2 bay NAS. It's a D-Link DNS 320L MyCloud. I have 2x3TB wd red in raid 1. For me, it's enough. It has the basic capabilities that i need and 3 TB is more than enough for me. But then again i am not streaming or doing massive video recording or similar stuff.

 

4 bay NAS are by nature more expensive and i don't know which one is good but the Western Digital NASs are sworth a look (allthough they might come with WD greens preloaded, maybe there's an option for the enclosure only).

 

 

What's your Youtube?
