Overkill Build (anything I can improve on?)

[Nizo_GTO]

I have this insane build I'm thinking of doing, here are the specs.

 

Processor Intel Core i7 5960X (will upgrade when newer extreme editions come out)

Graphics Card: 2 GTX 980Ti Kingpin 80%+ ASIC SLI mode

RAM: 32GB DDR4 3200

Mobo: Asus Rampage V Extreme.

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i GTX.

PSU: Corsair AX1200i

SSD: Intel NVME 750 series

 

Here's what I'm going to change, I am going to put an H100i GTX on both 980Tis, that's why I got the Kingpins 80%+ ASIC. Im going to OC the heck out of the GPUs and the CPU and the RAM. I'm even ready to do Base Clock OC but I want the highest OC possible. That's why I put the AX100i because I want atleast 300-400 watts spare power for OC. Please help if there is a higher performance anything or if something is wrong with my system compatibility. Or maybe if I should get a better PSU.

If you want to go COMPLETELY over kill on the PSU, get the AX1500i

[TheAmazingCookieFromSquare]

AX1000i Dose not exist

 

You can't drop  a say the future skylake-e processors ;like the 6960X in unless you want to change motherboards

 

Why exactly are you doing this build?Do you have too much money?

[Sportiva]

This,   Jk

[RollinLower]

if you are going H100i on the GPU's, make sure to add enough airflow over the VRAM! maybe even stick some small heatsinks on the chips!

Corsair power supplies are overpriced. Where are you buying from ?

just a question, might be dumb, but won't buying another 980 Ti and switching the 5960X for the 5820K be better for gaming?

[salecar3]

You need gpu block man, kraken g10, cant put 1 cooler on 2 gpus, get 2x120mm rad for each gpu with g10 for each(if they have them)

[mikat]

not overkill enough, Intel 750 Series SSD needs to happen

[shypin]

do a custom watercooling loop

that would cost another $1000 to $2000

Nah, 3 way SLI has little to no performance improvment

[Redsun20]

OH I KNOW, PCI-E SSD!!! HELLO???

[Nizo_GTO]

I'm not using custom water cooling, no way, btw Im doing this PC cause I wanna go overkill with a 5K monitor 60-144 FPS max settings all games. Or maybe on my old 720p monitor and play Minecraft on it's lowest possible settings and watch the FPS go to 1000. I also wanna try Minecraft shaders 5K...

I forgot to put 750 series, ill add that now

[Nizo_GTO]

I might add another 980Ti Kingpin down the road, for now I really want the 5960X

Given that you can clock the 5960X as high as the 5820K (as long as the lottery gods allow it), so will you get more benefit from the 5960X.

I have a budget, it might be loose really really loose, but I cant do custom water cooling and I'm not ready to deal with leaks

Considering my cooler yeah... Plus I really want 8 core because I do video editing and intensive rendering

It makes sense to wait for the 'Skylake-E' CPUs. Presumably they'll offer proper PCIe RAID support too, so you can have a nice Intel 750 RAID 0 to boot from...

[Guest]

The Intel 750 is pretty slow for boot up from what I have read. I would go with the Samsung SM951 NVME when it is released.

SSD: Intel NVME 750 series

You want to get the PCI card version, as its unknown wheter you can use the "hyper kit" with Rampage V Extreme, when you got a GPU in the top slot:

wait, you know NVME and RAID are competitors? you cant use both right? (correct me if i am wrong)

The SM951 NVMe drives are out already (but with patchy availability):

To be fair, so is the 750 ment for work load and not as a OS disk.

So a sm951 for OS, programs and games, while using the 750 for video editing, is the best course of action.

http://www.maximumpc.com/geforce-gtx-980-ti-3-way-sli-overkilling-it/ yeah.. but 3 cards still look cool and at 4K it does improve
