Finish This Build!

[Boriquen]

So basically I have plans to build this setup. I simply cannot come to a conclusion.

 

Motherboard = Asus X99 Deluxe

CPU = Intel i7-5820k

Case = Enthoo Pro

GPU = EVGA GTX 980 ti

SSD = Intel 750 Series PCIE 400GB

RAM 4x8 = G Skill Ripjaws 32GB 3000 DDR4

HDD x2 = WD Black 2TB & 2x 1TB

Sealed Watercool = Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX Extreme

PSU = Corsair H1000i

 

Can somebody give me suggestions for the two "?".

The X99 Deluxe is a nice board btw

PSU = Corsair H1000i

 

Basically I'm just looking for a good Motherboard and maybe a nice Full Tower Case. I was thinking to get the ASUS X99-E WS, but then again I'm not sure.

 

Can somebody give me suggestions for the two "?".

For case I'd suggest a Phanteks Enthoo Pro or Luxe

This too^

Case: Phanteks Enthoo Pro

MOBO: completely depends on the features you need and the budget.

Enthoo Pro is exactly what I had but then I got a little iffy.

 

Btw budget under 5000$.

Feel like the Deluxe doesn't come with to many features as the Sabertooth.

 

Also, can the Deluxe hold 32GB of DDR4 RAM?

[CRA5HMAN]

I believe the Sabertooth is limited to 2400 DDR4. With that in mind if you go for that board you will have to change your choice of ram.

Deluxe comes with more features than the Sabertooth (I own both). I bought the Sabertooth for the warranty, and I did not need/use the wifi/bluetooth that comes with the Deluxe. Both boards support a maximum of 64GB (Linus was able to get a BIOS tweak to support a higher amount apparently).

X99 Sabertooth supports up to 3333 MHz > http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:_ssMZLKWhuEJ:dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA2011/SABERTOOTH-X99/SABERTOOTH_X99_DRAM_QVL_20150108.pdf+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

I have yet to see a board that doesn't support over 3000 on X99.

[bomerr]

case get a define r5.

mobo get whatever you need. I personally don't care about all the bells and whistles of the x99-deluxe so I'd get an x99-a.

 

rest of your build is really solid. except you could prob save a few bucks with a cheaper psu like an evga g2. 

 

make sure you get either a 1440p or 4k monitor for that rig. 

[Boriquen]

Getting a Acer Predator 1440p 144hz IPS Monitor, which I might use Nvidia Control Panel to change the resolution to 4K.

 

Define R5 doesn't have a case window, so I rather not. But thanks for the suggestion!

I was looking at the board and noticed this: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_X99/specifications/

I guess there is more to it and you do own the board.  My mistake.

[Boriquen]

So I have one last question to this build. Which is the RAM.

 

This is the final.

What RAM should I get? I'm currently leaning towards the 64GB.

What RAM should I get? I'm currently leaning towards the 64GB.

Unless you're doing professional 4K video encoding and effects, hosting multiple VM's, or doing some server class computational work 64GB is extreme overkill. I barely get up to 14GB scrubbing 4K 30fps off the GoPro.

 

If you're committed to 64GB get a kit that's on the QVL as the higher capacities and speeds are going to be somewhat limiting. If it's not on the QVL for the board, the manufacturer hasn't tested it in the board. Everything should work, but if it doesn't you're in for a hassle.

Thanks its on the QVL for my motherboard! http://www.gskill.com/en/product/f4-2800c15q2-64grk
