Hello, So its time to upgrade my computer and I just dont know where to go. I do like to play games at MAX fps on all games and I also do video editing for my youtube. Please recommend me a PC (no peripheral) build so I can go out and start building! I would like to stick with Nvidia graphics card(s). Braid cables are nice. $5,000 is the max! Less is fine. Also I want to do a custom water cooling loop. Please include in price. I love the colors Blue, Black, and White.

I don't mean to be rude... but if this is your channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3Xdx-wDgDV9h5uVf32RbYQ

 

 

From what I've seen in your videos, I don't think you need any of the stuff you want, being MAJOR overkill....

Make those 290Xs, preferably MSI (either version) or Sapphire Vapor-X's ;)

 

Yeah that's pretty much the only setup you need @OP

The water cooling option I've included just cools the cpu. Once an adapter is released (scheduled fo middle of the month) the loop can be customized by adding two Swiftech Komodo-NV-LE full cover GTX 780 Ti waterblocks. There is lots of room in the budget for the additional radiator(s), fans, fittings, etc. Also lots of room in the case to mount additional radiators.

290s aren't that bad imo. I would actually go 2-way CF 290 rather than 290X

I know that he got 5k to spend. But it's always better to spend your money wisely

Hey there SwiFt_EnRo, 

 

If I were you, I would get a faster HDD for gaming and video editing. I doubt that you will fit everything you work with on the SSD and you would want a faster data transfer from your HDD. You might want to check WD VelociRaptor and WD Xe series with 10,000 rpm and might want to consider the WD Xe for a RAID option for faster performance. They are designed for heavy-duty gaming and work and would do the job for you. Here are a couple of links to check them out: 



 

Hope this helps your beast come to life, 

 

Captain_WD

If this helped you, like and choose it as best answer - you might help someone else with the same issue. ^_^
