ecc halting first build

[JReiri]

Hello there, Im in the process of my first build and have come to a stand still i cant decide on cpu motherboard and ram currently i have:

 

Cooler Master Storm Trooper case

Corsair 1200i

Asus Matrix HD7970 Platinum

Asrock OC Formula ac (already want to sell)

 

 

Was just about sold on a i7 4770k to go with the board from asrock but to learn about ecc and that the haswells and my new board dont support it put me right off intel and now im back to Amd with a fx 8300 with good power ratings and overclocking headroom but now i cant find any suitable amd motherboards that support ecc and the ecc registered ram to go with,  i believe in having ecc and unlocked cpus and credit amd for supporting these features i dont think i'l ever think about supporting intel chips or boards no matter what the benchmarks say 

 

Am wanting to use as a highend gaming/programming/video editing/server grade machine, planning on overclocking cpu once watercooled, and crossfiring another card once needed

 

If anyone can help with motherboard, water cooling parts, ram or anything else please do

even with the 7970 Platinum Crossfire I would still go for a psu with less wattage perhaps the AX760i or AX860I

Even a 800w bronze psu would be plenty.

The 1200i is more suited for 3 titans in sli or something, or 2 PCs..

 

What's your budget? Do you need peripherals?

with one of them it was rated to have at least a 500 watt psu, keeping in mind i'l be overclocking cpu and overclocking the two video cards on a high end motherboard and with the watercooling and all the fans on the trooper and couple of ssds and hdds blue ray player sorry didnt mention these but  i think its safer to go with 1200i leaving room for the likelihood of any other future upgrade aswell, and with seven year warranty and 80 plus platinum rating (i think) not too worried about price

ECC dimms are generally used with server builds, as it's the chipset that determines if ECC is supported (I think).  Maybe take a look at the Asus WS boards, I think one might support ECC.

dont really have a budget but dont wana waste money just keen to buy good quality long lasting reasonably high tech gear

[JReiri]

yeah i think thats the Z87 ws that only supports intel chips

[JReiri]

peripherals didnt think i needed to put the basics up
