Help me build?

ThatSweetGamer · August 17, 2015

I want a balls-to-the-walls gaming PC and I don't care how much is spent on it. All I'll be doing is Gaming, Video Rendering, and Recording. I would like an Intel CPU and an Nvidia GPU(S). And I haven't been in the tech scene since like April so I have no clue about how the new Intel CPU's perform or how Windows 10 is.

Please fill out these questions to help us help you.

1. Budget & Location
You may have listed a heap of parts that all add up to your preferred budget but it is easier if you just list the total amount you'd like to spend and the currency as well as if you'd consider going above that budget for more performance. We need the location as well because $US are different to $AUD and $CAD ect.

3. Monitors
How many monitors do you plan on running? Do you plan on moving to more monitors in the future? What resolution are they at too?

4. Peripherals
Do you also need to purchase peripherals such as keyboards and mice as well as monitors ect. Also please tell us if you'll need an OS such as Windows.

5. Why are you upgrading?
We ask this because you may see upgrading as the only path to solve an issue but things such as driver updates, reconfiguration or cleaning can boost performance without spending a cent.

I gotcha covered. BRB after orgasming. I won't be choosing a custom hardline because it sounds like you aren't interested in them.

1. No budget (go crazy), U.S.

2. ?wut

3. I want the 1440p 144Hz monitor

4. Need OS, Mouse, Keyboard, and Monitor

5. Because I came across a lot of money and need to blow off some steam.

Sir, I can make a 30k dollar computer which will make a super computer look in it's direction. A specific budget would be nice please.

2 was omitted because you already gave us the purpose of the build.

There are at least 30 monitors like that. Are you talking about the ASUS ROG swift?

Windows 10, defiantly.

It really doesn't matter the price (honestly), and yes the Asus one.

The actual monitor you want is the XR341CK (the one with G-sync) that should be coming out fairly soon.

I forgot random stuff brb

EDIT: Updated everything.

Note: This is the exact build I would get if I had no budget (well I would custom watercool it as well, but that's alot of work to suggest for you.)

Almost all of it is massive overkill, but nothing was throwing money at the build for literally no reason.

Add in about 500 dollars more for fans and 2000 more for water cooling gear.

And this is strange, but this is my dream build as well lol. I would buy all this if I had the money for it.

Cheating Storage for no reason bah! Still nice.

PartPicker throws up a problem with power draw. Ideally you'd have two 1500W PSUs together, stick it in a Case Labs enclosure.

Please, for the sake of sanity, pick a realistic budget cap.

edit: I actually haven't really checked any of this works together, other than letting PartPicker filter things for me. There's no real point.

Curufinwe_wins · August 17, 2015

Or unrealistic like say 8k and a specific setup.

Also let people know about this and people will go crazy
