[Anakteon]

Hy everyone,

 

I'm planing to build my first high end watercooled Pc.

 

These are the components i've chosen:

 

MOBO: Asus Maximus VII Ranger

CPU: i7 4790k

HDD: WD red 1tb

SSD: intel 530 120gb

RAM: Corsair Dominator 16Gb 1600mhz cl7 2x8gb ( later 32gb )

GPU: r9 290x 2x or Gtx 780ti 2x ( at first only 1 of them )

PSU: Corsair Ax 860 or Cooler Master V1000 or corsair rm 1000

Case: Fractal Design Arc mini r2 

 

Cooling:

 

Radiators:

 

NexXxos Monsta 360mm (60mm thick)

NexXxos Monsta 240mm (60mm thick)

UT30 120mm

 

cpu waterblock: koolance 380i

gpu waterblock: ?

 

Fans: NF-F12 industrial PPC-3000 PWM 8x

 

Pump: ?

reservoir: ?

tubes: ?

fittings: ?

 

I plan tu buy these things monthly / weekly

The build will start in September / Oktober

 

Other things like Asus MX279H i've already bought (yesterday)

 

i'm waiting for replys

 

(i live in Eurpoe and my buget for pump ,res,tub,fit is around 200-300 Euro) and for gpu waterblock 150 Euro.

That's a nonsense, overkill build. What are you going to use it for? How much money do you've got to spend? Where do you live? (I guess Scandinavia)

[Anakteon]

i live in germany.

all the hardwer is only 1450 euro ( with 1 r9 290x gpu and without water cooling ) 

the watercooling stands now by 465 euro

 

 

any idea for the missing components?  ( sorry for the grammar )

and i don't think that build is overkill.... ( becouse of the fps tests on ultra )

ok maybe the i5 4690k will be a better choice for begin...

( but that's why i've done this topic )

 

 

all budget is 2400 euro

You won't fit these components into this case.

You can just go with i5, GTX770 and 8GB of RAM, you don't need anything more for gaming, and water cooling isn't really needed here, but it's your choice.

it wi'll fit,

and i plan higher res than 1080p and in ultra qt the games need that power. ( i'm not prof gamer, but i never played under med graph  ( and i hate med ) )

I just realised, how can i fit my HDD ? (  maybe external...) like the ODD

[Gachr]

Arc XL yes, but Mini not, it's for different motherboards. WD Red are for NAS'es, just get Seagate Barracuda or WD Blue. If you want some hardcore gaming just get something like 780Ti.

Case: Fractal Design Arc mini r2 

 

 

 

The Asus Maximus VII Ranger is an ATX motherboard. The Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 is an mATX case. The Ranger board will not fit in the Arc Mini case.

 

WD Red hdd are designed for small NAS boxes. They are not suitable for single drive desktop use. WD recommends WD Blue or Black for that sort of use. You may also want to consider a Seagate drive.

 

Personally I think Dominator memory kits are way over priced. But they do look good.

[Anakteon]

you are right, that was a fail ( with the Mobo ) i read it somewhere that the board is matx.... ( Than Asus Maximus VII Gene )

the pc is not just for gaming, but for video recording, editing and rendering. 

 

Why woud a 780ti a better choice? performs better than r9 290x overclocked?

 

Yes they look nice, but 16G is 210 euro ( i'm thinking about vengeance with same spec but only 170e )

You need to quote someone if you want them to know you have responded to their post.

 

The Asus Z97M-Plus, Gryphon Z97, or Maximus VII Gene are mATX boards and will meet the needs you describe.

 

Vengeance are good memory. You may also want to look at G.Skill Trident-X - same specs for around 163 euro according to de.pcpartpicker.com.

 

I'm not convinced that either the GTX 780 Ti or R9 290X are worth their premium price. GTX 780 or R9 290 are pretty good performers. If more than casual video editing and rendering is being done then the choice of gpu should be based in part on that work load and the software being used.

i need my hard drive but i like tha mini r2, if i use only 240x60x120 radiator on the top am i able to fit a 5,2 inch bay pump reservoir? ( and keep the HDD cage between the psu and the thick front rad )  ?? ( and than i go only with single graphic card )
