Final Design starting soon

[ti3fight3r]

Okay, so I started a post a few days ago but I saw how sexy and nice a Bitfenix prodigy looks when done correctly. This is the direction that I am dying to go and will be buying parts in the next couple of days. The rig price itself is around 1300 if I add an AIO cooling loop. The price is reflective of the rig, peripherals and an $800 water cooling system and other case mods. Yes this is a lot of money but I am going for really good quality custom case that's one of a kind. I'm doing the two SSDs bc I'm taking all of the drive bays out so there won't be space for an HDD. Anything I need space for I can use my external for that. Let me know what you guys think I'll be buying parts next week after I do some editing if need be. Thanks guys.

Very good

 

I would've suggested you to switch to an R9 390 but that'll make the tiny itx case even more hot if it ran AMD cards

[Guest]

Why not just do one big SSD?

[ti3fight3r]

Yeah I thought about that but I couldn't find a water block for the 390 I liked.

I never really thought about that. The design has the two plasti dipped blue and sitting under the front rad.I guess in case something goes down I have a backup. I think for me its just looks.

The only waterblocks you can find for a 390 are for the ASUS DCUII 390 and Powercolor PCS+ 390 or just go with XFX (first rev. new one have new inductors and reference wb won't fit)

[ti3fight3r]

Your right I'm sorry I was thinking of the 290x
