Help in building my 1st PC setup

[XOGamingGB]

Hi, everyone.

I am new to this type of thing and I am learning new stuff everyday and my friend convinced me to build my self a gaming/performance PC. So I have decided to look into that and I have decided I would like to keep up with the plan and build my PC by end of this year, my initial budget was going to be around £2,000 but I have decided it will not be enough and I have topped it up to around the £4,000 mark. This will be my first PC build and first expensive PC, before and I still own a PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One and I would like to add a PC into that collection. I have decided to do so because I am studding computing technology at college and moving into University this year to study Computer information systems. So therefore I have decided I will need to have a power horse that will face any problems on the way to perfection. I will be using the computer for programming, video rendering, app creation, web design, mobile game creation and gaming the best games out there. I would like to have the PC for around 5 years and allow me not to upgrade it much over that time, so I have done some research and I have came up with this little beast that I love. Some things there are just overkill but I want to have that little extra power available at any time. I am power freak and I love having too much power available just like cars, I love the powerful ones and be able to use that power at any time. I will include the link to PCPartPicker with my set up and I hope you could check if that is good enough for my 1st set up  ad will be able to keep its level for around 4-5 years and I will not need to upgrade any major hardware in the PC. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/godawa123/saved/#view=9X3v6h 

 

Thanks, everyone.

Anyway your link is broken, but you should definitly wait for skylake and AMD 300 if you building at the end of the year

Just so you know a 390X around 600 Euros not 400

Hi, everyone.

-snip-

Thanks, everyone. 

I may have missed it, but I didn't see a graphics card there...

 

Also I think the corsair 760T is a LOT sexier

Wut, how do yo know that

[XOGamingGB]

Yes, I know I am using GBP, and I am willing to spend up to £460 for each GPU, that is the max price I will be going. The price in US will be around $600-$700 MAX USD so I am guessing in UK it will be around £420 mark for each GPU.

I'd say you should change the 5820k to the 5930k

[Stardar1]

Or... you could get a GTX 980 and an I7 5960x.

for less than 3,000 Euros

 

OR...

you go for the 4790K and not spend over 2,000

 

also, link is broken so didn't know if you needed peripherals.

There are 2 GPU's there and they are R9 390x

I am thinking between Corsair 760T, 750D, NZXT Phantom, Phantom 820 or bitfenix colossus window or windowless

Just a question; why wouldn't you want to upgrade?

 

I mean, each year it passes we get better technology, more performance, and a better implementation for the latest experience. Going full overboard feels like getting a Titan on 2013, it was just a tiny bit better than a 780, it got surpassed in performance by the 780ti soon enough, the R9 290X came then offering similar results for even cheaper prices, and now we have the 980 that is already stomping it. Those who bought 780s instead of titans saved half the money, same money it can be used for getting 980s today, or who knows, R9 390Xs tomorrow if they turn out any good.

Same for CPUs, SSDs, and pretty much each other component. I understand that you don't want the hassle of having system downtime, but in 5 years you can plan out a lot of upgrading! Replacing components doesn't need much software handling to begin with, and to be honest I wouldn't recommend anyone to stick with the same windows install more than a year or two.

The link should work, and yes thats what I going to do I will get 2 R9 390x and Intel i7 5gen

the link schould work

I would go for the i7 4th gen but I want the PC to last for around 5-6 years without major updates done to it.

get a 5960x and a titanx you have the budget

[XOGamingGB]

Titan x is over rated card and it uses slower speeds so it makes it worse than the 390x by quiet bit

If you are willing to spend 4,000 anyways then go 5960X

 

Also 1 GTX 980 will do pretty much anything short of workstation-grade rendering, and the 390x wont be for another year.

 

with the build I gave you it leaves more than 1,00 for desk, chair, etc. Don't liquid cool your GPU, not worth.

I dont want to upgrade becasue I will be at university for 3 years and I will not have the money to add every other month on new components, so I have decided I will go big on the beggining and just replace things like fans hdd's, ssd's after 2 years or so. My friend told me it is good idea because he has done the same with the r9 290x. He spend £3k on his PC and it handles any game at 4k displays no problem and he gets around 40fps and thats on 2 290x's. I want to have the system to be able to do anything I want in the next 4 or so years. I would say 16GB VRAM will not get old any time soon unless there will be like 12k games coming out. 

Thanks for the help aswell

I want it to last long time and to look cool you see. The money isnt the issue if its kept below £5k mark:) I would say that the 980 would do the job but I want something new and something different, thats why I chosen the 390x's. To my knowledge they will come out between June-September time, but if not I will get one 290x and wait until the 390x comes out and replace it I guess.

Titan X isn't that overrated, especially for a single GPU card. Also, the 390x your talking about isn't out yet
