That's the highlights, visit This link for the cart and some other components that I want like the optical drive. Of course I want to run it in SLI.

I ask you this.

What power does this thing need? (Watt wise) (recommendations?)

Anything I'm missing in the build?

Bottlenecks? (I know 1000W....)

Good monitor to fit it?

Is the Corsair Hydro Series worth it due to the life of the liquid?

Any personnel experience with the Enthoo Primo? (can it mount the stuff?)

Comments?

I play EVE Online, and Battlefield, other assorted simulators and First Person games. Some minor screen capture.

I'm new to forum posts, my mentor moved away, so be nice-ish for me.

Thanks

Since you will be only playing games don't even think about x99 wait some mins and i will have you a proper build, tell me how much is your budget.

@Rlgm12 follow your topics mate.

I'd get 750-800 watts.

Why do you say to hold off the X99?

Why do you say to hold off the X99?

If you are only to game x99 is useless for you as you won't be using the benefits of the aditional cores, that's the reason you will ever go for lga 2011-3, for more cores.

But giving us the max budget we could make you something more bang for the buck.

Yeah, pretty decent build, if you really require that sort of hardware... for the PSU, I'd recommend the 850 watt EVGA G2 850W 80+ Gold.

Yes, everything in the build will easily fit into the Primo. A great case, really large.

For monitor, for just one I'd ideally go with the Acer XB280HK (here on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Acer-XB280HK-bprz-28-inch-Widescreen/dp/B00O0Z5682),or maybe two ROG Swift PG278Q's? The Corsair Hydro series is fine, but the new 100i GTX might be better, or the H110, which would still fit. You could finally also probably do better with the headphones for that price, but if you already have them, then meh.

 

However, yeah, depending on budget and needs, do you really need an X99 system with dual 980's?

Well if you want to throw 5k to a pc this is what i would do.

Thankyou all, I guess I should decide now, I still edge to the X99 due to the logical fact that it will last further years than the Z97. I'm thinking I'll get the FTW EVGA GTX 980 and that swift monitor mentioned above. Anyway, if there are any more comments, I am open to further suggestions.

At this point you might as well go X99, the extra cores should hopefully be a benefit after DX12, and it's only a few bucks more expensive. And as you said, futureproofing in general (DDR4, etc)
