Greetings. (would I be dancing the overclock steps with my choices?)

[DanniBoi]

First of all....

 

....hello, nice too meet you all. I am actually a 3D artist I use programs like Zbrush  Maya  Ps  Ae  En  Pr  Lr  FL Studios  Sg  Mu and also I game as usual. I have in my hands now an Asus G750J Republic of Gaming in which I have not complains whatsoever, but, is time to move on and I will like to do a full upgrade to my experience as a 3D artist and a gamer. I have some of my picks in which I am not really to worried about the money at this stage, due to the fact that I am saving to make a pure lifetime change, that could last me for ages or I should write it like "ages" if that is possible

 

Anyways here are my picks....

CPU is great, Motherboard is good, go with EVGA everyone will down the other choices most likely, case is more personal preference unless your buying a large card. Fans look good as well, SSD looks a tad small unless ur getting a mass storage HDD (i dont have unlimited wifi so i cant delete and download with ease so i like big drives. Both video cards are good 980 is better. With that build custom loop watercooling would be best unless your not willing to get into that

[samcool55]

So, lets get down the list.

 

Motherboard: If it has everything you need, fine by me! Motherboards are most of the time personal choise, depends on what you need from it.

 

CPU: If you are going to whack a bunch of pci-e stuff in there. It's fine. If you aren't going to do that, the 5820k will be enough and a lot cheaper. You can OC it anyway if u want.

 

Memory: Also personal choise, speed doesn't matter in your case. I would take the corsair ones, I hate kingston, but that's just pure personally. If you want ram that looks different, post it, it's probably fine.

 

PSU: depends on what you are going to whack in it. If you are going to get 1 graphics card and you are sure you won't add a second one. 500w is fine. If you want to be on the safe side, get a 700-800w psu (recommend to take that).

 

CPU cooler: Fine, just take it.

 

Storage: Intel ssd is more enterprise stuff. If you don't need that, just get a crucial MX100 or something like that, capacity is your choise of course. You can always add hdd's if you need it.

 

Extra fans: if you need one, take them, they are all fine, completely personal choise imho.

 

Case: also, personal. I would take the 450D for the simple reason: it's bigger. But, as i said, personal. Both are fine.

 

Video card: If budget doesn't really matter, get the  980, i would take one with a custom cooler btw. EVGA, asus or msi ones are quite good, there are other ones out there, if you prefer one, let is know.

Oh yea, if you are planning to get a custom watercooling loop, get the refference graphics card then. But if you are planning to stick to aircooling, custom cooler is the way to go tbh.

[DanniBoi]

Thank you both. And yes I am thinking on placing 2 video cards in it, so I guess the Cooler EVGA Supernova 850 will be the smart choice then

 

So I will go like this:

 

CPU

Intel Core i7-5820K

 

MOTHERBOARD

ASUS RAMPAGE V EXTREME 

 

MEMORY 

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB

 

CPU COOLER MASTER

Master Nepton 280L

STORAGE

crucial MX100<-----------------------------------------I think I will choose substitute this with a  hdd's instead.

P.s. Appreciated.

[samcool55]

I would take the EVGA psu, i have a bit more trust in that one. For the rest it all looks good! 

1 little thing i'm wondering. You still have the reference card for the 980, are you planning to go custom WC? 

 

If there is anything else you find, and are not sure if it's good or not. Just ask ^^ 

[Burdock]

I would go for two 970's in SLI over one 980

 

The GTX 970 is only ~10-5% slower then the GTX980.

You got 40pci-e lanes on that core, USE EM!

[DanniBoi]

Sure thanks @samcooI55 

 

samcool55

You mean this one? 

EVGA SuperNOVA 850G2

 

Sorry, but what you mean about full "custom WC" 

 

Burdock

I'm thinking in having two cards actually. And do you mean this one as well? The EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked 

[samcool55]

Custom WC is custom watercooling, custom loop.

 

And yes that's the psu, it's a very good one. 

 

And the 5820k has "only" 28 pci-e lanes. Still plenty tho.

 

About SLI. Well i would get a 980 now, and if the future get a second one if needed. With 970 SLI. There's not really a way to "upgrade" exept replacing both.

[DanniBoi]

Thank you all very much.

 

So basically using two 980 SLI, this psu EVGA will allow me to run it without a problem even if I add one more or two more on it?.(I know that would be like excessive) But I guess then I will be overclocking right?

 

P.s. I still get your point of view here, thanks in advance or once again

 

 

The whole thing again will be this instead....

Well...something you MUST change. RAM / memory.

 

X99 uses DDR4 memory NOT DDR3. You've got DDr3 RAM in your selection. They will not physically work with the motherboard.

 

It doesn't look like Amazon.com is carrying DDR4 RAM yet (unless I couldn't find any), so you may need to look elsewhere (i.e. Newegg, Fry's, MicroCenter, etc).

[Analog]

You need DDR4 RAM for the X99 platform and that Rampage V Extreme is too big and won't fit in the 350D. The 350D is only a M-ATX case. If you wan to go with that you need a Micro-ATX board. As I pesonally am trying to build an X99 system in my 350D I will be going with a Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 board, I would recommend it if you decide going that route.

I see what you mean, But what I am choosing at the end was the 450D but maybe I will be going with the 750D because looks like it will have better space.

[Analog]

 

 

 Would this work? 

DDR4 RAM

 

 

I see what you mean, I have seen it though. But I guess it will fit in a obligatory way? 

 

 

Nope, it's simply longer than the case itself. You cannot physically put it inside. What you have seen probably is either the last gen Rampage IV Gene in a 350D, which looks alike or the Rampage V Extreme in a 750D, which is the big brother of the 350D.

Oh I see... so, which case will go with this V motherboard then?...  the 750D looks the "perfect" size right?

Yes, the 750D will be perfect and it is has all of the features of the 350D, but more of them, since it is just bigger

[DanniBoi]

Good to know thanks. 

 

[Toxicfunk314]

Nice rig!! 

I'd suggest looking into EVGA PSU's.  They make great GPU's. Now they're venturing into PSU's and they stand behind their product with a ten year warranty.  Also, the price point is perfect.

That motherboard is a huge waste of money unless you need the features. Go with a Asus X99-A or gigabyte UD4. 

 

for GPU go with a non super clocked card and manually OC it. 

 

for ram that crucial ballistix ram will work. 

 

for psu I like evga supernova g2 or higher models.

I see... That G2 will allow me to add another card if I feel the need to?

 

Thank.

   Thank you. I choose 850 but I see the 750 can help me with my rig as well right? Despite the model numbers?

[Toxicfunk314]

 Thank you. I choose 850 but I see the 750 can help me with my rig as well right? Despite the model numbers?

I think 750 is the sweet spot in terms of wattage for most people.  It allows for expansion while not being overkill.  With your setup and assuming that you're not going to get multiple gfx cards and sli them or set up vast raid arrays I think you'd be fine with a 750w PSU.

[bomerr]

I personally use the 750. G2 is a very solidly built PSU.

 

I got mine on sale for around 90 after rebate so the price was just right in terms of performance ratio. 

It looks like NCIX is selling it for the same price right now after rebate too.

Yes, those DDR4 RAM will work, but are you willing to go with 4 sticks versus 2?

With the kit you chose, you will need to use the RAM slots on BOTH sides of the CPU rather than on side with a 8GB X 2 kit.

I'm unsure if it will cause any obstruction with the tubing on the Nepton 280L by having RAM sticks on both sides of the CPU. Somebody here may verify that for you.

 

In the end, it's totally all up to you.

[TheFalseHuman]

What is your budget? Or can we assume it is so much that we don't need to know?

[DanniBoi]

What is your budget? Or can we assume it is so much that we don't need to know?

 

For the moment the budget I am saving is not close to the amount of money I will spend in a good computer with the "best" product. But I want to aim high because I want to have a solid computer that can last me a longer life with a good set up.

Whoa wait a minute, that is why I need help here....

 

Okay then what would you recommend me? Because I am not thinking in making this computer to have any "tubing"  or the so call "water cooling" I am not aiming to have that sort of PC. If that will be the case I am discarding this option of the  "Nepton 28L" haha I don't want to convert my PC into water cooler. That is not my aim, that will cost more that my budget plan.

If you haven't even saved up half of what this rig potentially costs, by the time you are ready to purchase, the market will be different and good choices now might not be the best choices later on.
