Also Im planning to go 4k So Yeah im this is a really bad post I seem like a big a**hole for posting this, lol I should of written this post out better

Do not take any if this to offence it just bothers me what some people do sometimes. Like that 5820k is completely un-needed. At 4k a CPU will not bottleneck a GPU lets say as bad as it would at 1080p, since a GPU will hit 100% usage before the CPU. For 4k, the 980Tis make sense; hiwever, please evaluate on the PSU. The thing can handle near quad SLI ( which is stupid and unstable ) and probably alone made the system overpriced. You said itmis a prebuilt, the parts are not bad. Is the thing coming as a whole, so how much was it? You probably could,of saved tons by building it yourself.

No dude, that is another thing I and many other people hate. That is a stupid reason to even consider going overkill. Like the people who buy a Titan X over a 980Ti for bragging rights, Alright go ahead and pay $300-$350 to say you wasted money. Not saying he did it to waste money; however, Being 14 the most I would ever need is an i7-4790k ( The schooling I am going into, i7-4790k would be very helpful and a R9 390; however, I am waiting for a GPU since I plan on possible 1440p 60-120hz. ) Besides the fact. 32GBs of ram is useless 8/10. 8 is logical and 16 is formthe multitask gamers. Yeah I rambling and I cannot truly state to much information as I simply do not have much in him. Honestly... If my parents said they would give me a $2,000 PC, I would not accept it. I would try and cheap out in so many areas since I feel as if my parents do not have to give me these types of gifts. I try to accept gifts mostly on Christmas or my BDay and even then I try and chip in some of mine. However, that is me.

I would spend the money on something more useful.

I would r8 it 8/8 m8.

 

But in all honesty, a 1000W PSU would serve you fine for basically anything, but it is nice to know that as long as it lives, you won't need to change it.

 

The ram also seems a bit overkill, but since ddr4 pricing has dropped, it likely isn't too expensive.

 

Personally I would have brought down the PSU, and ram, in favor of a 2nd 980ti, for that ultimate beast mode status, but its already pretty beast mode as is.

1600w is probably an overkill as the mainstream gpu power draw remains at 250-400w(double gpu). You computer will probably draw about 400-500w. Even with 3 980ti it will be 1100-1200w. So it is kinda an overkill as 1000-1200w would be more than enough for multi gpu down the years

Because my cynical mind goes into red flag mode (so to speak) when rigs like this are posted on the forum without any proof. There's been way too many people posting threads, asking for advice on rigs with a gigantic budget that they'll never buy.

 

I know this isn't an advice thread, but do you see my perspective?

Fair enough. Just saying that the build isn't so impressive (sorry OP) that it's impossible for someone to have one. I'll have a build just as powerful as this, but in a sub 4L container (though, mine is going to cost me $2000 to build, and a ton of negotiations with PSU manufacturers), so i am more optimistic when i see people doing logs like this. After all, this setup isn't that much more expensive than your average Z97 or Z170 builds. Maybe $50 more on the CPU, and $80-$120 on the board (depending on quality) and roughly $15-$30 more on memory. Why a kid needs X99 is beyond me, but hey, to each their own.

Wait, so which company pre-built it for you? Are they a known brand or something like a local store? 

Please don't say CyberPower.

Agreed, a nice 850w EVGA GS or G2 and 16GBs of ram, a Z97 board and a i7-4790k along with a EVGA 980Ti SCACX2.0 w/ Backplate. This allne would aaved probably $300 and that could,of gone towards LEDs for his setup, Cable management, a decent $100 desk from iKea, some framed posters, anything. Not saying hismsetup is or is gonna be bad since I myself have no idea what it looks like; however, most 13 year olds ( Can't say to much I am only just about to be 15 ) have these beast PCs but... Their setup is trash. I have two friends like this, old dusty desk, no cable management, ect. The one had a 980 and i5-4690k and used it on a 720p TV.... Finally got him to get a 1080p 120hz monitor. Besides the fact, just rambling. The OP has yet to give me a clear answer to whether or not I have the ethos to state all,this.

99.9% of people who make posts like this don't even own a single part of what they post because they just want to look cool on an internet forum.

 

And most online prebuilt shops don't even offer that level of customization... You get their set components and can change a few things.

I keep asking, How much and from where did you buy this? My mother did not believe me in building PCs also. Finally, it came down to a two hour talk on me showing her videos, explaining it step by step, why itmis better and more. When it comes to people who do not know much about PCs, you gotta explain it to them, using outside sources, proving it and more.

99.9% of people who make posts like this don't even own a single part of what they post because they just want to look cool on an internet forum.

Few will. Few..

Yeah, not saying all are. Personally watching Pimp My Setup on youtube you can see somemofmthe 13 year olds have these beast PCs and decent setups, then others just do not care. Oh then you got the people who you know was given everything in the picture to them by their parents or what not.

How does one rate a build when the buyer has little idea of what they bought? 

 

Here, rated build at 10/10... BUT... for each $200 over $3300 take 1 point off.  Example, if you paid $3500 rating goes down to 9/10.  If you paid $4000, rating goes down to 7/10 (we will round the extra $100 down).

 

So now I ask you:  How do you rate your system under these constraints?
