Theme build. Suggestions?

[theam123]

Hello Linus Tech Tips forum!

 

As I've been here before, it is soon time for me to buy all my crazy stuff for a theme builded PC which I've been fancied about for decages (not really, but long time!) and I wanted to know if you guys have any suggestions.

 

I do know the price i a lot, and I can get it cheaper. But there's 2 things that I refuse to change. The GPU and the mobo. Otherwise I'd love to hear suggestions. (this is mainly a red/black build, considered the expensive gpu and mobo too)

 

CPU - 4690k

GPU - ASUS Matrix GTX 780 ti

Mobo - ASUS Maximus VII Formula

CPU cooler - Corsair h105

Ram - Kingston HyperX Fury 8 GB

PSU - Corsair RM650W

SSD - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB

HDD - Western Digital WD blue 1000GB

Cabinet - Phanteks Enthoo Pro Window - black

 

And a BitFenix Recon for adjustments for my fans.

I'm running a BenQ XL2420Z and planning to buy one or two other monitors (24" 1080p)

 

Total price in Denmark is about 2.500$ and I know it's a lot, which is also because of the GPU and mobo. But as I've said, they're the only two things that I'm not willing to change.

 

Thank you for your time, and have a nice day, night, wherever you live when you're reading this!

Don't get a formula, get a hero if you must get a ROG motherboard. 2 290s will be more powerful than a single 780Ti and about the same price, but if you do that you would have to get a bigger PSU

which r9 290 would you prefer?

Get the MSI Z97 Gaming 3 for a motherboard, two 290s, and anything but an RM power supply

Anything from Gigabyte, Asus, MSI or Sapphire

For your black and red build, MSI

Why is HIS always left out -.-

because they aren't as 10/10 as Gigabyte, Asus, MSI or Sapphire

Depends on how much you're looking to spend on a PSU, but where I am, I can spend $10 (Canadian) more and get the EVGA 750G2, which I'd much rather recommend

I've had Gigabyte and Asus cards come and go bad on me. Never an HIS

1. Crucial tactical tracer ram, with the awesome LED's

2. Seasonic X-series 750 watt power supply. Just because it's more power, its modular, and it gives you room to add more stuff in later on down the road. I have one and lemme tell ya, I've never heard it make a sound, granted I have all my fans set to full blast at all times.

3. Ignore the Radeon pushers, get one 780 now and a second 780 down the road for more bawls.

4. Save the money, get a noctua air cooler, and customer water cool that bad boy down the road, OR get that new cooler from swiftech (cant remember the name right now) that allows for expansion. I think it's the H220-x.

 

Other than that, lookin pretty badass to me.
