My first overkill Arnold Schwarznegger ultra 4K gaming rig!

[Sausage_Beacon]

Yo guys.As you can see I am new here and I really need some help here.I have a list of my parts of PC (as you can see in the title) and I could use some tips (if there is any)to not screw up cause this is expensive as shit and I dont want to spend that money for nothing.If anything else,I would want to send the list of part to NCIX to assemble them and get them safely home
SPOILER:Lots of people told me that 32 GB  DDR3 2400 of RAM isnt needed for gaming,but I really want really fast PC so pls dont say anything about it :DD And yea,here is the parts list ( http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Sausage_Beacon/saved/TZWBD3 )                                Thank you in advance !!

I can't see the list with PC parts.

[CoolBeans]

What is your budget? And you should build it yourself it is really fun

No, just no, if doing intense video rendering  or a crap ton of CAD work loads, then yes, otherwise just a waste because you will not be able to tell the difference in real world performance with 2400Mhz over 1866Mhz. when just gaming. If you want it just to have it, then that's cool, otherwise save the extra $ cash and put it towards something else that might benefit you better.

 

Better headphones, Better Keyboard or mouse, more storage space etc.....

32 GB  DDR3 2400 of RAM isnt needed for gaming,but I really want really fast PC

>.< facepalm

higher frequency =/= faster PC

 

also I dont see how this is overkill... a 295x2 can only do 4k at around 60fps, and that's with AA completely off.

[NUFCThomas]

having 32gb wont speed it up, the speeds do that 4x4gb at 2400mhz will be the exact same speed

 

also 2400mhz over 1866 or 1600 will get more fps but most games it is only a few fps, not worth the money

I am so confused, do you want me to recommend you parts? because you can get the same for a lot cheaper ie http://pcpartpicker.com/p/hvNMTW

[BonBon Scott]

I wouldn't say this is overkill. Dual Xeon E5-2697s and Quad SLI Titan Z is overkill.

[Tech_Dreamer]

Only suggestion i'd make is wait for maximus 7 formula, but your choice..

I would do that if there would be only air colling.But I'm bit scared doing with watercolling alone

If you have the money, then i suggest you change that psu to Corsair AX1500i, and go with dual 295x2, or quad CF, because you'll barely get 60 FPS, which some people think is pretty annoying (are you one of those ). I'd also go with I7 extreme edition CPU's, to avoid any possible bottlenecks...

 

Some benchmarks i found

[Rheinwasser]

that is the worst build ive seen in some time.

Dude,on 4K monitor I would get barrely 60 FPS,but my plan is to use 1440p monitor,I dont like those huge monitors

[TheTiger]

Give us some pics, when it's ready, otherwise...

For 1440p it will be more than enough... But man, you said "...4k gaming rig" in the thread's name...

Yea,I know.I messed up a bit there,actualy I didn't mean that

I gotta ask you this.This will be my first time building PC,and would you recommend me building this PC with water cooling alone or just let me NCIX build it and ship it to me.

I would suggest a better cpu cooler, NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler.

 

There shouldn't be a need for thermal compound as AIO coolers typically come with a pre-applied pad on the heat transfer surface.

 

I won't argue with 32GB of memory or even the high speed. I will suggest getting a kit that has better timings which will run faster than the kit in your build. G.Skill Trident X Series.

 

Replace the storage in your list with two sung 840 EVO 1TB 2.5" Solid State Drive. You will have more storage and better real world performance.

 

A build like this needs a better quality psu. SeaSonic Platinum 1000W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply. 1000W is a little oversize but not ruinously so.

 

The additional fans are pointless. Three fans are added by the radiators. Coupled with the five fans that are stock, they should be more than enough to construct a good airflow.

 

The build is excessive in a number of areas and I'm not a big fan of the case.

Thanks dude.Already working on my list

NCIX doesn't do watercooling loops
