Hi there...

I am going to build a System for flight simulation and im just lack of ideas and what parts (Hardware) that I should use to make it a worthwhile system.
The system will be used for gaming purposes, Photo editing and Programming.

My budget would be average but not too expensive.

The system I want to be build should be Liquid cool.

 

 

Please do share Your ideas with me of what kind of:

Mother board:
Graphic Cards:
Power supply:
Hard drive:
Optical Drive:
RAM:

SSD: (maybe a 250 GB)

 

 

Cooling: ( Pump. reservoir, tubing, radiator and etc.


Current Ideas that I though would be ( Sorry if it wrong im a software guy not much into hardware and this would be my first built).

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte S1150 ATX GA-Z97X-SOC Force Motherboard

Cooling: Liquid Cooling Corsair Hydro H100i

 

( I have 6 Monitors with all HDMI outputs )

You shouldn't go for an even number of monitors for gaming, it leaves you with a bezel crossing in front of your face.

Either way i7 4790k and crossfire r9 290s are the minimum for this. As motherboard I suggest an Asus z97 deluxe. RAM, I'd say 32gb for video editing.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

You go three on top, three on bottom. There are thin bezel monitors that wouldn't be that noticeable.

Thanks guys I am sorry if I posted this thing in the wrong place, Yeah i need advice and what i should use,
I am a software developer, but learnt most thing from linus tech tips regarding hardware.

I am from Australia Queensland but the system will be made in SRI LANKA as i am a SRI LANKAN and it would be the first liquid cool system to my country as there
isn't many people willing to pay up to do a job or custom build a system. This also to boost the students and also people who like computer that there is more you
can do.

Appreciate all the help i can get.

All the parts will be bought from Australia and will be shipped so need the parts accurately in order to build the system.

Please add the parts for liquid cooling that I should use as well........

Thank you.

-snip-

 

 

 

snip

other than the HD7970 or the 280X

 

the other GPU may not have the power to drive 6 monitors even if they have 6 display ports

 

the 290 in CrossFire config which I have suggested will have more power than the above mentioned single GPUs

 

get a display port hub like in the link for video output

that is a mid range GPU

 

no way it can power that many screens

 

like i said you need 2 high end gpus to power 6 screens

Sorry but is it ok to use this card Sapphire Radeon VAPOR-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5

 ( http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G36G9ZA?tag=intercept-kb-20 ) cuz the above mention card is too expensice to my budget...

Thnaks.

well do note that 6 screens is like 6/4 of 4K resolutions

 

270X are made to only run at 1080P

 

any higher, the GPU will struggle

 

i think you need to save up more if you want to power 6 screens or downgrade to 3 screens
