SO any other suggestions?

[skullbringer]

just go and buy this ton of nerdgasm!!!!

[Hecknologist]

I wouldn't recommend the ouroboros as the adjustable plates are wobbly even when tightened making it awkward to hold/grip.

Edit: also worth mentioning, if you're going to use two monitors I'd suggest 1 gaming monitor and the other IPS for media comsumption etc as you'll pay extra for features you won't use (though they will look different physically, bezel etc), and if you plan to use multiple monitors for gaming go with an odd number of screens to avoid bezels in the middle of the screen.

[Tam3n]

Well that's ultimate

 

If it was me, I'd get single 250 GB - 500 GB SSD and 2TB HDD. If you have a lot precious pictures etc, get two HDDs and put them in raid 1.

 

Just curious, are you going to use both of the monitors in multi-setup for gaming or just single?

[LiamApex]

but will it play minecraft ?

SO any other suggestions?

 

I personally wouldnt go with 2 RoG Swift, even with 2 gtx 980, what game are you expecting to play at 120-144 fps on 2 monitors at the same time? I think it is better to go with 1 RoG Swift and then get an IPS monitor as your secondary monitor and only game on the Swift and use the other one for web browsing, music or possibly video editing at the same time.

 

Are you planning to get more case fans or just 1? You might want to get at least 3.

 

Switch the 2 ssds out for 1 256gb or 512gb ssd, 2 lower capacity ssds usually leave you at a more expensive price than 1 higher capacity ssd (This is unless you want to do a RAID config on the 2 128gb ssd, in that case, just leave it where it is)

 

Do you REALLY need an 8 core processor? I'm assuming that you mostly use your computer to play game according to your choice of gpus, monitors and peripherals. You are better off with a 6 core processor like the i7 5820k and to save the money on other stuff.

 

Otherwise, the build is fine, good luck (though I have a feeling this is a troll build but who knows, I might be wrong)

I choose ouroboros because my friend who works in a computer store offered a Logitech G910 and a ouroboros.BTW still great suggestion.Tks!

1st, I choosed two swift because i already owned one and i feel better on two same monitor

yea and everyone recommended me to use only one swift,any suggestions?

and, sorry that that i didn't mention i will be going to raid 0 them

and last one, im also doing some rendering on c4d (maybe you're correct, i should use 5820 instead of that 8 core beast)

[Jerome_resolution]

just go and buy this ton of nerdgasm!!!!

And what u mean by this "nerdgasm"? :blink:

[Jerome_resolution]

but will it play minecraft ?                

YESS!!!

[iDeJayDzn]

I dont understand the low storage for such a powerful machine. Especially considering windows is like 30GB and then there's all your games etc?

 

Suppose you gotta save somewhere though.

If you decide to go for only 1 Swift and you want a good IPS monitor for editing, I recommend getting one or even two Asus PB278Q, it is an IPS panel 2560 x 1440.

 

The CPU is up to you but just keep in mind that if you drop the i7 5960x and go for something like a i7 5820k or i7 5930k, you will have still have enough horse power for your rig and you will have the extra money to either get more storage, upgrade to 32gb or ram, get a 3rd GPU or get an even better IPS monitor like the 34UC97 curved monitor from LG

1)great choice but does it look alike?(I mean compare with swift)

2)Isn't my ram 32GB?

3)In most of the time 3GPU doesn't work better than 2GPU

4)Nah, too big for me

Didn't you see I have about 1.5TB combined storage
