4k gaming pc

[Nalgasp3ludas]

Hello

 

So Im planning in building a new gaming pc for 4k, video editing, etc. And I wanted to know if this pc was good:

 

i7 4930k

32gb ram kingston hyperx beast 2400mhz

gtx 780 6gb sli

seasonic 1250w fully modular

I still have doubts on choosing a good hdd I was thinking in a wd black 4tb

samsung 840 evo 1tb

Asus x79 deluxe or the asus rampage vi black edition

windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

h100i for cooling

 

Im still thinking on a good looking case.

 

This are the cases Ive seen and liked:

 

Cooler Master Haf x

Corsair 750d

Corsair Graphit series 760t

You won't run 4k with only two 780s...

Downgrade your processor+platform to a 4790k and Z97 then get two 290x or 780ti, maybe three if possible.

 

Also why are you buying windows 7 ultimate...

It has a ton of useless features that you will never use and just slow your OS down by a lot.

Go with windows 8.1

The cases are good, and the rig too. If you want silence, the wd black is the worst hdd, for noise... And is the best for performance (there is the wd velociraptor too...). Seen that is used only the first card's video memory, i would sli a 6gb version and a 3gb one, but im not sure this will work, is only an option to be verified...

If you are going 2011 (Platform that is going to get updated pretty soon with Haswell-E), don't waste half your budget on that motherboard, get the Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4, it has most of the features people need without overspending a ton.

For 4k 780 sli ain't going to cut it, and getting the 6gb version doesn't make it better. Grab a pair of R9 290X or GTX 780ti (maybe even wait for GTX 880?).

As a case suggestion, get the Enthoo Pro, it's $100 and it's awesome.

Definitely go with the 290x. It can beat a Titan by a pretty decent margin, over 10%, and AMD cards tend to give better results when ran in CF compared to SLI.

I literally heard you could make a grill with those cards in crossfire

It's not that bad. You can always stick on an AIO water cooler to cut the temps in half and just go with the cheaper reference cards.

I ran a GTX 480 for years. Thing would hit temps over 100 degrees. People bitch and moan far too much.

R9 295X2 would be a good starting block. I know it costs more than 2 separate 290X cards, but you are only using a single pci-e slot, so you have the option to either add another 290x for trifire, or even a 2nd 295X2 for quadfire.

yes, the R9295X2 should be better than both 780ti SLI and 290X CF, so I'm going to make a few changes

 

4930K -> 4790K (means X79 -> Z97)

32 GB RAM -> 16 GB RAM

840 EVO 1TB -> 840 EVO 250 GB + a 2+ TB HDD (perferred brand)

Windows 7 Ultimate -> Windows 8.1 Pro

PSU (preferred brand, must be in top tier list, about 850W+ but maybe go to 1000W+ just to be safe)

CPU Cooler: H100i or any good liquid cooler

Case: IMO 760T
