PC BUILD HELP PLS NO BUDGET LIMIT

The Power of Intel!
 Share
Go to solution Solved by Shiro Hagane,

16GB of RAM is generally best. A GTX 980ti will carry you on for quite a while and beats out the Titan X. And an i7 4790k with a Z87/Z97 board for the best around for gaming and any application you want to run. But if an i7 still feels a bit overkill an i5 4690k on a Z87/Z97 board is topnotch.  I personally love Z87 boards so I personally recommend a Z87. Other than that, a 500GB SSD and 600w or > modular power supply is where it's at. Case and form factor is up to you.

I need a Pc build that is Optimal and reasonable and not just an Ultimate build.

 

I want a performance beast for the following applications

Sketchup, Autocad, Revit, 3Dsmax, Photoshop

and moderate gaming

League

Nba2k Fifa

 

Sky is the limit for the build, but I want things to be optimal

 

My handpicked components 

 

Titan X or GTX 980Ti SLI, can't decide if 12gb of vram is more suitable for my build

 

Kraken x61 Cpu cooler

 

I recently posted a similar article, and I thought it was pretty overkill and unreasonable so I want to know your suggestons! Thanks!

For those applications and that gaming, you wont need a Titan X or 980ti in SLi, a single 980 would be fine

Just make sure you have at least 16GBs of RAM and go with either a 980ti or Titan X

The woes of not waiting to buy a GPU when new releases hit soon.

If you have no budget then why not water-cool 4 Titan X's?

this build is just fine:http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JKRmhM :)

you need to add about 500$ for gpu because it's not listed

I personally prefer the gigabyte or msi gtx 980

I don't think any dual socket boards support Quad GPU's.

Linus did a video and apparently not, but with an unlimited budget anything is possible!

I did note that I didn't want it to be overkill, and just pretty much an optimal and reasonable build. If this was all for the sake of making an otherwise clever comment to poke fun at my post then I guess that's just you. If this was in your right mind, a real and helpful suggestion then I highly appreciate it, but 4 titan X's are too much for me.

Thank you for this suggestion, I like the approach you had on this build and how elegant the white colored components fit into it. Thank you again, this a very aesthetically pleasing build.

Thanks might consider non ref 980s for my pleasure of a color coordinated build

Thanks I appreciate it, would you think 32gb of ram is too much or would it be okay if I go with HD texture packs to enhance my render speed

32 GB is totally better and the rendering thing, I wouldn't know, I don't render anything. :x
