Still awaiting approval [REVISED]

ROG(Asus)/Corsair oriented build

 

I need to get this build checked by many sources before I can build it. Posted this topic already once, re-configured build, changed budget, etc. If I need improvements, I would like to keep the money at the same price as the build, VERY little wiggle room (Keeping the fans and aesthetics, really like this color scheme) Anyway-

How does THIS one look internet!

 

*Will be buying in November, GTX 980ti should be cheaper by then*

*EDIT: Removed RM1000i for EVGA 1300W

**EDIT: Replaced 2-pack SP fans for 2-pack AF fans

That is one beastly build. I would probably change that 1000w PSU to a 1200/1500w just in-case.

Good call, thank you

[BigDay]

why are you getting a 1080p monitor? get an rog swift or something at 1440p, 1ms, and 144 hertz. you have tw0 980 ti's!!!

 

edit:

 

go skylake

[BigDay]

sp fans are for radiators only

 

af are for case ventilation

 

go with noctua originals instead if you really want good fans

 

the gigabyte g1 gaming cards are great as well

 

edit:

 

the 760t case has a lot of flex to it. watch the reviews linus did

The 980ti's are for long term use, I'll have this build for around 10-20 years at the most. 1080p is to stick to my budget, I want 3 monitors, and I'll have upgrade capabilities in the future if I want to go 4k or something.

 

I would go Skylake, but a 10% increase in performance isn't gonna change much (To me, at least), I personally like this motherboard (I own it), and I'm not up for upgrading my RAM to DDR4 either, if I have to or not. Sounds stupid after what I just said above, but just saving money here. I'd rather have GPU power than CPU power in the future.

I like the corsair fans(Noctua are nice, but like I said, aesthetics), and I know about the AF-SP thing. Good catch, I will fix that now. Red LED's are for the red-white-black theme (Front fan replacement).

 

G1 Gaming is blue. Trying to keep the theme and orientation.

 

760T case is flexible, but has a nice big window and still has a good build structure. And again, aesthetics.
