Opinions on build

[xWanna]

Hey,

I need your opinions and suggestions on my build. I want to use it mainly for gaming and a bit for 3d modelling.

Thanks for your help.

 

Specs:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7 5820K 6x3,30 GHz

GPU: Geforce GTX 980 or R9 290x

Mainboard: MSI X99S SLI Plus Intel X99

PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 10-CM 600W

RAM: 2x4 GB DDR4-2400 or 4x4GB DDR4-2400

Cooler: be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 

SSD: Crucial MX100 256 GB

Case: NZXT Phantom Big Tower 

 

I have one 1TB Harddrive at home.

get 4790K instead and use saved money to get 16GB of ram, it will be much cheaper and even better for gaming

[nj4ck]

pretty good build, but what exactly is it for? If its mainly for gaming you don't need an X99 system, if its going to be used for rendering you'll want at least 16GB of RAM. Also, which card do you want, 290X or 980? Those two cards are quite different both in terms of price and performance.

Change it to a z97 mobo, i7-4790k, SLI gtx 970, and 16gbs of DDR3-1600mhz RAM. There, you just saved yourself a lot of money.

If mainly gaming i would get an i7 4790k and get sli gtx 970s or crossfire r9 290x and with the money saved get 16 gb of ram.

This is cheaper and should be even more powerfull for gaming.

And if you have old HDD I would recommend you getting a new one and with saved money you could get an SSD as well

It's mainly for gaming and only a bit for rendering.

And with the GPUs I'm not sure. What could you recommend?

I would strongly recommend you getting 970 or 980, 970 offers much better price per performance and is almost as good as 980, watch some benchmarks and decide if 980 is worth the extra money, both are better than what AMD currently offers.

don't click but copy and paste, than it should work

Ok, then this problem is nearly solved.

970 SLI might be a good idea as well, look ate benchmarks with thoose as well

And I would rather get ASUS MBO, they are much better and I even heard that some ASRock MBO had issues with 4790K and I am pretty sure it was this one so look out for that.

[StevenGibson1994]

This is good if you are wanting to go with the GTX 980.

Find me a light-blue Asus mobo (to match the build theme) that's also cheap, and I might go with that.

[xWanna]

Thanks for your replies.

 

If I go with 2 GTX 970 what if I want wo upgrade oneday.

And most of you mentioned DDR3 is DDR4 so overpriced and not that much better?

Well if you want light blue it is way to go but I don't think that he wants that

X99 is not worth it and DDR4 won't give you more FPS, RAM speed is almost completely irrelevant for gaming.

[Imakuni]

I like it.... it's different from the usual black and red....

I need a bit RAM for rendering.

Well I was thinking about light blue as well, there is way too much black/red builds, than I wanted white/black but to save some money I went for neutral black build

[StevenGibson1994]

I need a bit RAM for rendering.

go with 16gb or 32gb but if you are only doing a bit of rendering then 16gb will be enough if you then start to do a bit more of high demanding rendering then go with 32gb.

[pomaranc]

Well you would have to be really serious about video editing to justify X99 and you can actually get DDR3 that is faster than DDR4 you chose.

[xWanna]

go with 16gb or 32gb but if you are only doing a bit of rendering then 16gb will be enough if you then start to do a bit more of high demanding rendering then go with 32gb.

But stay with DDR3 or go to DDR4?
