How does this system look?

Is the mother board good for water cooling and gaming? Will it somewhat have a good upgrade path if I want to do SLI or Crossfire in the future?

 

I am about to start buying the parts.... so I am somewhat concerned. If you think I should get a different Motherboard let me know what type.... I want the z97 chipset and its has to be red and about $155.

 

Thanks!!!!

Board is good. PSU is.. overkill from what I can tell. What do you need 1000W for?

[Ceatra]

No Graphics Card, RAM, storage, OS?  :huh:

CPU, motherboard and case are fine.

The PSU is overkill for a SLI setup with two graphics cards.

A 750w is enough for that.

I don't like the H100i and I would rather go with the Nepton 240M.

The 240M is quieter, performs better and isn't as expensive.

I find Corsair link which you get with the "i"-branded Corsair products pretty useless.

Maybe also consider the H110, which performs even better. The i7-4790k needs good cooling.

the motherboard is good. idk what you mean for water cooling.

 

also you definitely do not need 1000w psu. huge waste of money.

 

what is your gpu?

He said if he wants to do SLI.

I have a CX600W supply for now... I will eventually hope to get an SLI system going

I thinks he want's to SLI and CF

[S7117]

I have all of those ready for now

I have G skill Ripjaw X ram 2 x4gb 2133 ddr3

with windows 8.1

Unless he's going for Quad SLI/crossfire (with dual GPU cards) , there's no way he needs 1000w. Pretty much all of Nvidia's 900 series can be run in SLI on a 750W, and AMDs can be run on 850w easily. The PSU is a waste of money

Sapphire Radeon R9 270X for now... i dont have the money to upgrade it right now

[Lord_Karango17]

the motherboard does not influence performance/ watercooling.

 

other than that psu being overkill unless you are running more than 2 gpus, everything looks good. asus motherboards could be an option, but it is likely more expensive.

 

also other parts like the gpu and hdd?

Unless he OC's everything, but still 750w is enough, you're right

I have all those in my current build

[S7117]

Ok thanks Ill get a lower psu.

Just asking with 750w would I be able to have 2 titans in sli one day?

[Lord_Karango17]

Just asking with 750w would I be able to have 2 titans in sli one day?

Would likely be fine, as long as is is a good quality one...

[Clemens123]

yes no probs.

But why two titans? Go for 980 ti.

[S7117]

ok i changed it to a corsair hx750i psu

[runit3]

Just asking with 750w would I be able to have 2 titans in sli one day?

At bone stock CPU and GPU settings you'd be ~650w torture load. If you overclock any of the components I wouldn't want a 750w PSU in there

would this be good

No no no don't get Titans, the 980Ti performs just as good as the Titan X for $300+ cheaper. For the PSU I'd get a 850w if you plan on 980Ti SLI to leave room for overclocking. I'd get a EVGA G2 Series PSU, ( one of the most reliable IMO )

[Lord_Karango17]

would this be good

yep

For $10 cheaper than the hx750i after MIR. Only $10 more w/out MIR.

[Lord_Karango17]

No no no don't get Titans, the 980Ti performs just as good as the Titan X for $300+ cheaper. For the PSU I'd get a 850w if you plan on 980Ti SLI to leave room for overclocking. I'd get a EVGA G2 Series PSU, ( one of the most reliable IMO )

probably a proof of concept more than anything... 2 titans are more than impractical, and the op likely knows that already
