thoughts on this overkill

[lior1111]

Hi , I aleardy posted a thread which really helped me choosing the following build : 

 

 

 

the cards are SLI , the power supply is gonna change to 1000W for some extra room to be safe 

i really want to put 2TB HDD , would like to get some thoughts about that too

 

So the goal was an overkill gaming pc to run on a 4k monitor , i might change it to 1440p but I preffer 4k , and i want other people thoughts about this one because i know only about 3 - 4 people who liked this one , i need more persuasion power to get myself that expensive PC.

 

Thanks in advance for replys.

You don't really need 1000W, but if the system costs that much already and it'll only be like 20-50$ more, go for it. Otherwise, it looks great, and should get you into 4K! Have fun!

Just no. No need to overclock. No need for a SSD or a Super expensive CPU cooler.

 

 

 

Congratulations! Your build is so damn overkill and expensive that it's not funny.

Thanks alot! about the HDD , i can just choose any drive and it will fit? im not really a pro builder so i need a little advice on choosing a 2TB HDD

I got a one-time budget for one computer , i have to use all of it to not regret later , and its a budget i cant do anything with except a PC , I can explain but its a bit personal

If your going for overkill swap that RAM out. 2133 is the minimum for DDR4, go for 2400 at least, not that it makes any noticeable difference in games that is...

seems silly to me if you are going to say "fuck it" and do a build like that you went with an i5

i think the ram is ok cause the purpose is gaming ( you talked like yoda in the last sentence )

i thought so too but thats what i got recommended , is i7 really gonna make a difference in gaming? or even in video editing?

gaming no, video editing im pretty sure.

[lior1111]

gaming no, video editing im pretty sure.

but i can still video edit with this i5 pretty fast , like if i wanna make a youtube video once a week or two times a week , you think it will be enough power?

im not gonna say yes or no to that because I dont video edit, I just know it enjoys hyperthreaded cpus.

well , you know what? i made the main purpose gaming , and ill stick to that , but if i wanna change to i7 , will that work - Intel Core i7 6700 3.4Ghz 8MB Cache s1151

thanks alot man i really appreciate it , linus tech community FTW

I5 vs i7 does make a difference in some newer games if you go over 60 fps,

especially if you cram 2 980 tis in there.

ok i went for i7 cause of you guys , thanks so much , it is the best pc community ive been in

The reason you got recommended an i5 is because 90% of this forum can't build a PC without an i5 and a corsair h100i

what do you mean?

[TechSilver13]

There isn't much other than the two 980ti cards that's overkill on this build. X99 isn't much more. I'd go with x99 if you are video editing.

Go 6700k since you wanna go overkill. Get the fastest ram and make sure to set it to the speed you want in bios if not you're just wasting your money. Many people buy high speed rams but don't know that they are running at minimum speed.

Yes, especially at higher resolutions. And yes.

 

If budget permits, instead of SATA III go for a 4-lane PCIe 3.0 M.2 ssd like the Samsung SM951. Up to 32Gb/sec. More than 4 times faster than SATA III.
