Pc Build - Last Check

[chazo656]

Before I begin ordering parts for my new pc. I wanted to have some assistance in double checking that all the parts involved are suitable. I was primarily worried about the power supply wattage that I have chosen as the info page for the gigabyte 980ti states that at least a 600w power supply is needed. Will I need a larger one to power the remaining computer components?

i heard that version of 980ti has loud fans but seems ok

Only things I would say, which I guess are both personal preference, are: IMO for a white/black build the NZXT H440/Noctis 450 looks better, and I would reccomend be quiet! Silentwings2 fans over the corsair ones. Other than that, go for it! Also btw if you want Kingston do a white version of that memory.

replace the airplane with other model of 980 TI

I have the same motherboard, ram and similar psu (GS 550W version). Very happy with it The recommended PSU wattage of 600W has the rest of the system included so you should be fine with the one you chose.

I did a lot of research into which 980ti I would get and according to the comparisons that I have seen the gigabyte is only louder by 4dBa under load. Does this have a lot of real world impact or are they all destined to be noisy due to the massive cooling required?

[tikker]

The decibel scale is logarithmic. This means 4 dB more means a roughly 2.5 times louder sound. I don't know how much sound these cards produce though, but for my 970 HOF I only start noticing it when the fans start going around 70% and above so I'm guessing that it will be similar for these cards. Eventually when the fans go fast enough they'll all get noisy.

you only need a 650w psu for an overclock on both the cpu and gpu

[BigDay]

if you want air cooling, go with the noctua u12s or u14s

What do you recommend instead as I had a preference for this card because it allowed me to keep my black and white theme?

Here. The phanteks comes with 3 fans and I added two more. For optimized airflow make the 200mm and a single 140mm intake and then the last 3 140mm exhaust. This will keep positive air pressure and keep dust to a minimum. This case I believe lights up on the outside with white LEDs ( look into that ) and basically to me is my 2nd favorite case ( 3rd? ) compared to the NZXT Noctis 450 or H440. This should be VERY quiet without loosing perform. I added a 850w PSU ( This allows for overclocks and SLI in the future ) The NZXT x61 is by far way better the the H100i, it is quieter, performs better, and overall looks better. Added a Zotac 980Ti ( if you want the EVGA 980Ti with ACX cooling should also match your build ) Eather would do,

Thanks! The NZXT cooler comparisions show it really is a lot quieter than the h100i GTX so ill defiantly pick that up instead. I do think I prefer the H440 so I might go with that instead though and Zotac looks greyish so Ill get the EVGA (and I have heard the Zotac is louder).

I went with the phanteks case because you had the corsair 750D a full tower case picked out. The Phanteks is very similar to the H440 and airflow is a lot better. The h440 doesn't have the greatest airflow but if you do get it remove one of the 140mm fans I have picked out since the h440 comes with 3 120mm fans, the x61 Rad will take up the top two slots so the only spot,left is the rear 140mm fan.
