My 2500$ build

[TOBLERONE]

Hello everyone. I hope everyone is good and well.

something to note,English isn't my first language so excuse me. 

I decided to buy my first ever Gaming PC but I'm not sure if it will work or not. 

please if you have any recommendations or suggestions I really want to read them all.

CPU:intel core i7-5820k

Motherboard: asus x99 deluxe

GPU: Evga Geforce GTX 980 ti SC 6GB GDDR5

storage: 

1-samsung 850 Evo 1TB SSD

2-toshiba 3tb 7200rpm

Power supply: evga supernova GS 1050W

CPU cooler: corsair hydro H105

memory:G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3000 (PC4 24000)

for the case I'll buy one from where I live it's going to be expensive to ship the case.

that's it if I missed something please remind me. thank you very much

looks god however what about fans and an OS 

[alexhelvetica]

get 2 8GB modules instead of 4 4GB modules.  

[Vlazzy]

dem

[manikyath]

get 2 8GB modules instead of 4 4GB modules.  

its X99, dat quad channel yo.

 

yes, it wont help, but might as well make use of the extra ram channels.

[The_Stig]

Do you really need 1tb of SSD space? It seems a bit excessive.

The CPU cooler : corsair hydro H105 and the GPU fans aren't enough to cool my PC or Do i need more fans ? for the operation system I got one it's not problem. 

thank you for replying

I guess the more channels I use the more speed I get my friend explained it to me like this . if you have 4 racing cars and 4 lanes and you want the 4 cars to reach the end at the same time it would be wise to put every car in different lane instead of 2 in the same lane . please correct me if I got it wrong or something.

thank you for replying.

Yes I need it , nowadays games take about 50 GB storage without even mods, so yeah I need it.

thank you for your time

thank you for replying.

in reality, when doing memory bandwidth intensive things, dual channel will be about 10% faster than single channel, guessing it'll be about the same for dual to quad channel.

will you ever do anything this memory bandwidth intensive? no.

is it worth it? well, the price difference is that little you might as well go for it. also: symmetry.

i have the phantom 530 and wish i had of bought th eh440 the phantom has allot of Room for everything and looks stunning but the H440 has the PSU cover which wins me over and becuase of how its designed hides everything ugly !!

do you really need a 5820k for gaming? you could just use that money to get a 2nd 980 ti

[BigDay]

i don't think the 4790k will bottleneck two 980 ti's in sli. this pc would play everything very well @ 1440p. just make sure you have a 1ms, 144 hertz, gsync capable monitor. i don't see the point in going the x99 route for gaming. you don't need 1tb of ssd space. 120gb for an os is fine. 2tb of hybrid space is enough. the main focus should be on the gpus

I really like eh440 but I'm afraid that it's going to be small when I want to upgrade.

thank so much for taking the time to put all these together I really appreciate it.

I'm really not interested in 2-SLI GTX 980 Ti it's too much money for not so much. basically you replaced all the high end component with low-mid for an extra GPU that will be slow next year.

I hope you don't take it in a bad way any reply is very welcome.

Since the PC is mainly aimed at gaming, going x99 is just a pointless waste of money. You should probably stick with an i7-4790/K if you ever need to do some editing,adobe work, etc and have 16GB Ram just in case. Main question here is what monitor are you using? The main thing you should ask yourself here is the resolution and framerate you want to play at. Also whether you may want Gsync/Freesync? Also the H440 has plenty of room for further upgrades and it will handle SLI easily. Just make sure that you have adequate airflow coming into the case as it doesn't have much natively. Here is a quick spec list i put together, but without the GPU/s as I need to know the monitor/s you will be using.
