Hi guys today i went with my friend to watch as he was gonna start building his SGD$3000 dream mchine, he's using it for his studies and gaming (he studies 3D  graphics and video rendering i think) So here what we picked up today

 

Chasis: corsair Obsidian 450D (Windowed)

CPU: Intel I7 4790K (unlocked)

CPU Cooler: CORSAIR H110

Motherboard: ASUS Maximus-VI-Formula

Ram: CORSAIR Dominator Plat 2400C11(16GB=2x8GB (2 sets)

Optical Drive: Asus Internal 24x DVD writer (DRW-24B3ST)

Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 500GB SSD (for OS and 3D programing and rendering software)

Storage WD BLACK /64MB/FZEX 1TB (for games)

Storage: WD Blue /64MB/EZEX/7200 2TB (for his studies)

Grapics card: MSI GTX780 Twin Frozr Gaming OC 6GB

Grapics card: MSI GTX780 Twin Frozr Gaming OC 6GB

Fan Controller: NZXT Sentry 2 Fan controller

Fans: Silverstone AP141 Air Pentrator 14cm Fan (5-6 fans)

Power Supply: Seasonic Platinum - 1000 (1000w) Modular

LED: NZXT Internal Sleeved LED Lighting Kit (Red)

 

at first I was thinking he was gonna get the Titans were a better choice for his work but it's his build so what can i say,

but i still think it's a overkill for a 3D/rendering/editing/gaming machine.

Btw we went over the Budget by $65.00

SLIing the GTX 780's won't make that much of a difference, exspecially if he's not running a 1440p monitor or larger. 

 

A single Titan will be much better for games and work, it's pretty much the same as a single 780 6 GB, but has double-precision floating point. Basically it's used in workstation cards so it'll be great for both gaming and his studies.

life is so unfair...

 

i am so broke

 

that board needs a BIOS update

 

find lower CAS RAM those Corsair are really slow, the 1600MHz CL7 will be way better

the Titan Black cost like 1.6 grand in Singapore

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
