Here is a build @vSyNd1c4t3 made for me. I think this is what i'm going to be buying but i wanted some thoughts.

 

Might change ram, case, and might get a water cooler.

 

I have a 600w PSU i wanna use, I guess it's not enough?

Great build ^_^

Only suggestions would be swap PSU and add an HDD if you dont already have one laying around.

Forum delay problems. xD

 

Here is the revised build if people want to give it a go over.

 

No PSU, Original Case, Different 980 Ti Choice

 

Why different 980 Ti choice? It has a higher base clock than the EVGA, and it fits the color scheme better for the same price.

7800X3D - MSI B650 MAG Tomahawk - 32GB 6000mhz CL30 - Gigabyte 3080 TI - 2TB NVME - 1000w PSU - ID Cooling 240mm AIO

PSU is fine, For an I5 i don't see the value with watercooling, If you wanna go higher end (which is really not necesary, the 212 evo is fine) i would just get a nice heat sink in the 70 dollar range (Like the Phanteks one or a noctua NH-D14, those are at very nice prices now) and if you wanna have the possibility of water cooling in the future just make sure you get a case that supports at least a 140mm or 240mm rad. Single 120s are not worth it, and the price tends not to be all that different so i would just go with the lowest price double rad i could find from a good brand. Otherwise, very nice balanced gaming rig, should kick ass.

@tomas710 thanks for your imput (:

When i did my first build i cheaped out on the case and...ended up buying another and redoing everything. I am not sure about that corsair case, but all i'm saying is the case matters, it's the component you will HATE if it's not good enough, the NZXT S340 had amazing reviews for it's price point, and in the end you wanna have a friendly case to build in without overspending. Check out Dimitri's reviews at hardware canucks, best case reviews and that dude is just awesome. Maybe this vid may be cool for you to watch ;)

I can't believe how many peasants there are in the US when PC parts are so cheap. A freaking 980TI system for 1200$ = 1085€

Open your eyes and break your chains. Console peasantry is just a state of mind.

Corsair 540 is just the best case on the market.

 

Why? Because it's freaking size, it's barely bigger then a mid-tower atx case but it can fit a EATX and 4-WAY SLI. And it's so easy to do cable management.

He's using a standard ATX mobo, single GPU. And he should spend 130 bucks on this case because....it's a cube? Get real dude

Who the fuck wants to use a ATX mobo when a Micro-ATX supports 2 way SLI/CF or even quad SLI-CF if you are using two dual GPU cards.

 

At 68$ you can't beat the AIR 240.

Lmao, you say that cube cases are shit yet it's in the video you posted.

Cube cases are great because they are easy to build in and have great cable management options.

 

People should get ATX-EATX mobo and cases only if they want to do 3 or 4 way SLI/CF.

 

The Air 240 White is just 68$ at Newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139045
