Project Godzilla

[vedantawe]

So, I've saved up almost 6000USD for a beastly PC that I want to build. These are the specs I will be buying over a period of the next 6 months (Excess time because I'm from India and I have to ship some of the parts in.)

1) SteelSeries Rival 300

4) SteelSeries QCK+                                       

4) Asus PG278Q ROG Swift 27'                                 

5) LOGITECH C920                                             

6) Creative Inspire T12 2.0 Desktop Speakers                  

7) HP Internal Blu-Ray writer                                 

 

The PC(Godzilla): 

1) Intel Core I7 5820k                                       

2) Asus Rampage V Extreme                                     

3) Asus Nvidia GTX Strix OC 980TI (x2)                      

4) Corsair AXi Series AX1200i 1200 Watt Power Supply       

5) Corsair Vengeance LPX Red 3000MHz DDR4 32GB (8x4) RAM     

6) NZXT Phantom 820                                        

7) INTEL 530 SERIES 240 GB (x2)                              

8) Western Digital Caviar Black 2 TB                           

9) NZXT Kraken X61      

 

 

If any of you have any suggestions or changes, please give them, while maintaining the general cost of the project. And if anyone can suggest a cheaper alternative for a 144hz monitor it would be much appreciated. Thanks. 

P.S. If you guys could suggest a better water-cooled solution for the PC, instead of the AIO Cooler I have planned for now, it would be highly appreciated. I have no experience with watercooling, so I could use feedback based on your experiences. Again, thanks.

Looks pretty solid!

As for me, I would go with air super cooler instead or got a ready-kit from ekwb.

And yeah, I guess seasonic x-1050 can handle these parts easily, but at twice lower price.

Again, this is in my opinion.

Looks like a great build to me, you will love the dual 980ti but I would wait one month before buying graphics cards because I saw dead-mouse teasing something with nvidia on twitter, here's the link if you want to see (https://twitter.com/deadmau5/status/654425960922529792) but if you don't want to wait go ahead but get intel 730 series SSD they are a little faster, but not too much more expensive.

King of all PCs.

 

I think EKWB has a kit which is basically a custom loop for the CPU only. Maybe that would cool that beast CPU under there?

 

The EK Predator could be one option since the pump and rad is together and there's options for expansion. Or you could get the Starter kit which is the L240 (I think?) and expand the loop from there. Either way, you got a beast rig there bud.

1200 watt is a bit overkill

The problem is, since I'm in India, it's difficult for me to get a lot of parts. And for some of the parts I have no option but to ship it from outside, which trust me, is a big risk. I mean, there have been cases of people ordering GPUs and never getting it, because customs decided to keep it(Welcome to the land of corruption.) I'll take robbiesoto's advice and up the SSD from 530, to around 730. As for the EKWB premade kits, it's difficult to get those in India, and as I said before, shipping it here is very risky.

Even the courrier services like Fedex or UPS?

 

Even so, there is Insurance no?

There is, but still. I'd rather not take the risk.

Well then you gotta make do with AIOs because I'm in Asia as well and watercooling parts are very difficult to find locally.

Yeah. Also, I just saw that you have exactly 666 posts. Well hello Satan. How are you doing today?

 On a side note, should i go for the Corsair AIO cooler, or stick with the NZXT one?

666 ftw

Um imho, don't get the corsair AIOs. They do perform well, but I find the software interface very confusing. Maybe consider a Swiftech H240 if you can find it locally. It allows you to expand with GPU blocks as well.

Guys guys guys. I hit a budget mark, as I had to pay for an operation, so my budget has gone down. So I will be editing the build and posting it here soon.

I know that this sounds silly but that motherboard is a bit too excessive for an 5820K.
