Nice build, but do yourself a favor, don't buy a Titan Z.  You are buying an Asus Maximus VI Extreme, just buy either two Titan blacks or two 780 TIs you'll save yourself a lot of money. 

Oh, and change the CPU cooler to a H100I or  Hyper 212. H90 isn't a great cooler. 

 

EDIT: Just relooked at the list, you are going to buy two Titan Zs?

That's ludicrous, are you actually going to be building this?

 

Also, what are you going to be doing with this computer? And what is the budget?

Would it work...technically yes. Should you build this? Most likely not. It should be noted that the video cards will just fit (2 cm), and that you'd have to get 2 3.5'' to 2.5'' drive sleds to place your SSD's as there is only 1 2.5'' location in that case. Also, in this mid-tower your cable management will be a nightmare. With this kind of setup you should really look into a full tower.

 

What the heck are you building this for btw? There are a lot of things which look over the top.

mate you could reduce the budget a lot. No game needs this much hardware. you could do with 2 780Tis. If youre not video editing or anything like that then get a i5 4690k. you need max 8gb for any game right now. you can go 16 just incase

@GreenEnergy I also recommend the NZXT kraken x41 or x61 for your cpu. you're also getting a z87 motherboard. I would recommend you get a z97 board for the cpu you have chosen

 

also get at most 2 SSDs but get an SSHD for your main storage its a good price to performance ratio and seagate does them up to 4tb

 

Also get a bigger case like a phanteks enthoo luxe or corsair 750D/760t

Two titans is overkill unless you're doing a high resolution multi-screen setup (especially 24 GB of VRAM). Also you don't need 32 GB of ram, you'd be fine with 8, but could go with 16 if you really feel like it. Also i5 is about the same as the i7 because games don't utilize multi-threading. And you just straight up don't need 3 TB of SSD storage.

 

Also why 2 disk drives?

If you really wanna go overkill, get DDR4 ram and quadfire r9 295x2

You have never built a pc, but you are considering spending 7 grand on one ?  :huh: If you are serious about building a pc then scrap your list as it is massively unbalanced and overkill. You can build a very powerful gaming pc for sub £1500, you don't need to spend £7K.

 

Also £7K worth of parts in a £47 case ? Hmmm

That case threw me off. I've rebuilding my pc part by part and it'll cost about $1200, with the case coming in at about 10% of the budget. Needs to look beautiful.

How about the Corsair 500R?

Was looking more into a full tower like the Phanteks Enthoo Pro (although the Luxe is looking rather attractive), but that looks like a decent looking midtower which I'll definitely look into.

I wouldn't go for a full tower unless I would do 3-way SLI or something like that. However, a case is mostly personal prefrence and everybody likes diffrent types of cases.

Was looking to do single crossfire, but I was mostly looking at it simply because of the huge amount of watercooling support. I'd be looking to keep and use the case for well over 6 years, although I guess the midtower would be more applicable to my current situation.

You mean 2-way CrossFireX :D? Yeah, a mid tower should be good enough for that, just make sure that there is enough room between the cards if you're aircooling them.

If the Luxe is within your budget, then what are you waiting for ?  :D You won't get a better value for money case than the Phanteks. Also if you are into case modding, then it is a piece of cake to work with, as you can virtually unscrew the whole case.

I mean a single crossfire connection. Yesterday I forgot the word "literate"...you gotta be patient with me sometimes :P

What can I say, I only like buying things when they are on sale.
