Final Build! (help please)

Go to solution Solved by Castdeath97,

How much would that run me?  How important is g sync for gaming?  I've researched it but am more concerned with higher Hz than either Resolution or G sync.  Is that a poor mindset? 

 

Also, that Monitor is 60 Hz, not 144.  I thought you did it at 2k and was about to flip out xD

 

Yet another suggestion for a 800 W.  I have for sure been convinced :)

 

I do video editing.  Also, this will likely be what I am using for 3-5 years.  Would this change your recommendation for the i5?  

The g sync display would cost around 750 dollars for the display alone. So, that would total to around 2450 dollars for the whole bulid. G sync helps eliminate tearing which makes gaming smoother. About the i7, it depends on wether you do heavy video editing or not, the i5 overclocked can handle moderate to heavy editing loads, but would be slow for very long or complex video projects.

 

Here is the bulid with a g sync monitor

Please give me detailed reasoning behind any changes you would make. 

 

Notes- Not water cooling.  Probably not overclocking, may decide to in the future.  I chose a 144 Hz Monitor for gaming purposes.  I splurged slightly on the cooler, SSD, PSU, Monitor, and Moba.  I am more concerned with if this is a good part list but if I am being foolish with any splurging please let me know.

A 650W PSU runs fine, you don't need 1000W PSU (unless you're planning to SLI in the future).

 

Fine to me though.

1000w is still very excessive for sli pc part picker gave an estimate of 711W with that config just with SLI.

Perfect!  Left in 1000W for potential SLI.  Thanks

Get a different PSU.. at that price you can have much better quality and a 750W will be plenty for SLI and OC.

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

Why not get a 800W power supply (that will be enough for SLI), a core i5 4690K (Don't worry even a core i5 can't bottle neck just yet) and maybe a smaller SSD and use the money you saved to get a 1440p monitor?

Couple of small alterations... Ram is cheaper and faster, GPU has a better cooler and a much better quality PSU.. if you really want to go the 1000W mark then go EVGA GS.. the RM line isn't great from corsair in a price - performance / quality point of view..

This makes sense.. I'd go a 1440 144hz gsync with less ram, and an i5 and 250GB SSD in a heartbeat.

Great call!  The below fits SLI with room to spare, is rated much better, AND is cheaper.  Thanks!

Assuming you are in the USA then the GS version of that psu is cheaper still. The GS is made by Seasonic.

Also depending on price I would go with the D15 over the D14. Just make sure that the Ram is compatible first on Noctua website as the Trident is pretty tall.

The EVGA suggestion was on point!  When I focused on 800+ I came to the same conclusion.  Great call!

 

Is the frequency RAM really faster than the trident?  Higher frequency for worse timings and latency.  Either way, it's just as highly rated so if it's tied on speed that's another $25 saved, thanks! (and that sexy red fits the color scheme perfectly ^_^ )

 

How important is gsync to a 1440 144 hz?  If 1440 144Hz is feasible I will be so hyped. :)

From everyone I know that has used it (have seen but not regularly used myself) it's really nice.

 

If possible, I'd go 1440 144hz gsync..

If you play fast paced games then I'd choose 144hz over res.. but 1440 is nice for everything else.

 

On the ram it's 6 of 1 half dozen of other.. there are other options at about the same price at 1600 but tighter timings.

I don'T PreSS caPs.. I juST Hit THe keYboARd so HarD iT CriTs :P

I am in the US.  Nice catch, that's another $25 saved :)  It will also encourage me to get the parts ordered before that discount expires.

 

The D15 is alas much more pricey.  " The cooler offers sufficient clearance for all standard size memory modules, but you won’t be able to use memory modules higher than 44mm. " Good compatibility catch.  I'll be using the Ripjaw it seems (unless I find a better option in Red) so I believe I'm okay.

 

Thanks!
