Hi,

So I was wondering if this computer is the best for what it is at its price. I know it is rediculous (don't judge me) but I wanted to make something crasy. The price includes a full custom watercooling loop, a caselabs case (SMA8 - best case EVAR) and custom sleeved cables. This is also in Australia.

Looks good, the awkward moment where the case and the custom loop costs 30% of the total.

First, even 4 way 980 sli consumes less than 700w. So chill. Second, XF 290x is also around 700w. So AMD would have to release something REALLY stupid for you to draw that much energy.

 

At any rate, here's an update. I gave you a MUCH better CPU, while saving money. The most important change, is the removal of the keyboard. Don't buy it. It's not that it is bad, but when buying peripherals, you HAVE to test them in real life. Sometimes, a cheaper option has a much better tactile feeling, once you hold it in your hands, and press it's buttons. Just go to a local store, and test the products they have. Trust me on this one, you'll thank me later.

THanks for any feedback

This is actually pretty good. instead of af or sp series of corsair if it's me I'd either go noctua new fans or the gt 1850's and just for personal taste and experience I'd go with a seasonic one but that choice of yours is very good too. overall It's a decent build.

 

That Caselabs SMA8 is a total fucking sex bro one of my dream cases that I will hopefully be able to afford some day :).

 

pretty much only personal taste or opinion might give it a + or - in price as everyone likes different brands as seeing this post it doesn't look like a budget tight as low as possible kind of thing :).

Live your life like a dream.
