Hello,

 

I'm planning on building a PC for; gaming, streaming, and video editing/rendering. I need some compatible hardware for the i7 5960X and GTX 980, keep in mind I'll be overclocking the processor and possibly the gfx card. I would like 16GB of DDR4 RAM, premade water cooling solution, SSD boot drive. If you can convince me of a better graphics card please do but keep in mind I plan on getting a second 980 for SLI in the near future. For the PC part picker list please include the processor and gfx card. For water cooling I was leaning more towards the Swiftech H240-X and also getting a KOMODO-NV-GTX9 to cool the GTX 980. However I know very little about water cooling so if there's something better out there than please let me know, I would like to steer clear of custom loops however since I've never done any water cooling before and would like to keep it simple.

 

Budget: $800-900 (do not include the processor or gfx card in this, it should only be for ssd, hdd, ram, case, psu, mobo, etc)

 

Processor: InteI Core i7 5960X Haswell-E

Graphics Card: GTX 980 

 

Thanks for helping me out with this

 

Regards

-Ridge
