Gaming Build

Go to solution Solved by lukky211111,

Well the point is that here in Egypt all these things are expensive and the difference in price is not that much of a deal so that's why i said hell lets go for the big guns and slam the best thing possible and also i will be doing some Photoshop and illustrator on this PC.  :D   

even with the z97 and the intel core i7 4790k you should still be ok with photoshop and illustrator but yeah thats understandable completely 16gbs of ram an i74790k and a gtx 980 and you should be good. 

Hey guys i wanna know if this build would work as a great gaming PC.

 

1- So first an MSI X99S Gaming 7 ( i chose this one since it has a Killer E2205 LAN ) but i wanted an MSI X99S Gaming 9 ACK but i cant find it in Egypt since i live in Egypt if i find it i will get it for sure or maybe a Gigabyte GA-X99-Gaming G1 WIFI for 4-way SLI.

2- Then an Intel Core I7-5960X overclocked to 4.7GHz ( i don't know if this is even possible ).

3- 64GB of DDR4 Ram G.Skill Ripjaws 4 series CL15 ( 8X8GB ) 2400MHz ( if i can find 3000MHz i will get it ).

4- Corsair H105 240mm CPU water Cooler ( can't find H100i ).

5- Zalman ZM-STG2 thermal compound or Noctua NT-H1 thermal compount ( if i find anyone of them ).

6- Samsung 850 EVO 1TB SSD for OS ( i cant find a Crucial M550 1 TB SSD ).

7- From 2 till 8 Seagate 2TB SSHD 7200RPM 64MB cache 8GB SSD inside.

8-  2X EVGA GeForce GTX 980 superclocked in 2-way SLI mode ( i want a Zotac GTX 980 superclocked but can't find it ) or maybe 3-way SLI or 4-way SLI.

9- Any PSU with a 1200W or more and 80+ gold or more with no matter for modularity of course modular would be great.

10- From 1 till 4 Asus DVD writer ( since i cant find Blu-Ray ).

11- Any good case with as much fans as possible and space for all of the other components.

12- From 1 till 3 good FHD 1080p screen.

13- I don't know if i would put a Wi-Fi card or not since i don't know any good ones like the Killer Wi-Fi ( and also i don't know if i would find a sound card better than the one in the motherboard or if there is any LAN card better than the Killer ).

14- Any good fans for cooling with high RPM.

15- Fan controller if i found one may be two or three if i need them.

16- Good keyboard, mouse, speakers and headphones for gaming.

17- Any other accessory that i would need to make a full PC like joysticks, webcam, all in one printers, mics, card readers, etc. i will even have a dedicated router, internet line and backup storage for this PC.

18- Microsoft windows 7 ultimate SP1 64-bit with some games, software, Photoshop and illustrator.

19- All SSHD will be on RAID 0 for performance levels and i will have a backup from all data stored on an external separate drive but i don't know do i need a RAID card or does the motherboard have one.

20- Also power protection in-case of power surge or failure and i will have all the necessary means taken to ensure power wont be disrupted or that it wont damage my PC so protection will be taken like serge protection and UPS and any other ways.

 

If anyone would like to add on this list or if there is any part you think its better please feel free to add.

Thanks all.

x99 will not give you any performance boost in gaming compared to z97 and a 5960x is not worth the thousand dollar price tag. i say go with z97 get a 4790k overclock it and youll have no problem with games hell slap a gtx 980 in it and youll be good. also for gaming you dont need more than 16 gbs of ram hell even 8gbs will do just fine :) and probobly the biggest case that i know of is the corsair 900d that case is enormous as far as computers go.

I would get the h110i gt instead. its new so I don't know if you could find it there or not. And for gaming you are way overkill on the RAM. 

ive been looking at reviews of the h110i gt and its amazingly cool. no pun intended.....

I liked the H105 and the H100i because they have the highest RPM.

and actually i want to build the fastest and most powerful PC ever to be built on this earth  :D which i hard i know but i wanna do it  :D
