If you're not running into budget problems, then I would get a H100i for cooling.

Also, instead of the 2TB Caviar Black (for games), get a 120gb SSD, it will increase the load times significantly.

Other than that, you're golden.

Why would you get a H100i?

I want to upgrade it later to cool the vrm, gpu with that cooler :)

There is a vid on linus his channel, its more silent+more cool

And ill change the tubing to clear tubing and fill it with red liquid ;p

Looks good to me, my steam library is more than 1TB so the black is a good idea if you have a lot of games. You could always get a 1TB Raptor is money is no object but i'd say the black is a much better idea. depending on how precious your data is, maybe consider another green to run in RAID 1. other than that, it looks insane!

cheers,

Your PSU is way overkill - you'll be fine with just the AX760i. In general it's a higher end gaming system but if you have the money and want to spend it then sure go for it.

What are you doing for RAM? I'd go with 8 or 16GB of Corsair Vengeance..

Hi maxime, me again:p

H220 is a very nice cooler from what i've read.

But looking at the products you picked i can see you have a nice budged, which make me wonder why you don't get 2 ssd?

I would get 1 for os 1 for games, i personally have 2 830's: a 120gb for os and a 250gb for games.

Do you really have 2TB worth of games? :p

Ill upgrade to a second 680.

Ram is for rendering videos :)

I dont have 2Tb of games, but 250Gb on the other side is not enough...

And my budget is not endless ;)

Even with a second 680, you only really need an 850w psu.

if that's the case then the black will be a nice game drive, and ssd's keep getting cheaper, so maybe when you get the second 680 you can also get a 500gb ssd or something. (or a raptor though i've never been a fan of them)

If this is strictly for gaming I'd get a 3570K and a 670 and use the saved money to get more SSDs for games, but that's just me.

Power draw from components in general is dropping. If you want to go and speed a fortune on a PSU that you will most likely never fully make use of then that's your choice. Personally I'd lower it and spend the money somewhere else

i need the hyperthreading to render.

And i need 680 because i want as much fps as possible.

I will buy a 120Hz monitor ;p so i need + 60Fps

I know ;p but i was more thinking on a AX850 to save some money :)

The difference between a 680 and a 670 isn't enough to make or break a 120hz monitor. You can get 2 670s on NCIX right now for under 600. Which wouldn't be much more than a single 680.

I was planing to get a blu-ray player in it because i love movies so i was wondering wath is the best blu-ray at the moment :)

Is the Pioneer BDR-S07XLT a good one?
