Okay, to begin with- wtf dude. What is this PC for? Calculating satellite paths for Mars missions?

get parts from EKWB, and get Reference card, theres probably Third Party Cooler waterblock out there

can you not get 1 large radiator? that's much better.

2x120mm vs 1x240mm doesnt seems has much difference

Think of it this way. less tubing/radiator space the liquid has to go through the pump doesn't get stressed as much = longer lasting pump it'll take less time to go through 1 240mm rad than to go through 1 120mm rad than through a couple inches of tubing than to another 120mm rad so it'll cool the liquid that much faster.

Then you don't need 12 cores for that. Get the 5820k. What resolution gaming?

i posted the monitor i will get , but idea behind it is , VR set up for early  next year , and leaving only GPU to Add to my biuld so if needed add another gtx980ti  , while ill be receiving alot to do house ect ect a have set aside $8000 for pc equipment

actual CPU is intel-i7-5960x-extreme-3.00ghz-haswell-e-socket-lga2011-v3 so i can over clock down the line

16GB is enough.

Get a 4TB Hard drive, not an SSD.

Get another 980ti if you're spending that much.

For 980ti SLI 900W is enough.

Get EK hardware for watercooling and get someone to help you do this. For a first time watercooler with parts like that I would not recommend doing it alone.

cheers EF it is , i have a 4tb black wd drive and a 14tb nas already the 2tb ssd id for large games faster loading , 32gb ram is for OCD lol , also , ram disk maybe 1200watts will be for over clocking , but i will be looking into another 980ti after i have this setup running and see how Gpu load is

The 5820k also has 12 threads...

The 5960x is kind of a waste, the 5820k is a better option or the 5930k if you need the extra lanes. All 3 are overclockable.

idk. The 5960x definitely has 16 threads though. AFAIK it's the only Pro-Sumer one from intel in haswell-E with 8 cores.

5820k= 6 cores, 12 threads

5830k= 6 cores, 12 threads (more PCIe lanes)

5860x=8 cores, 16 threads

dude if the water move too fast, the water didnt have much time to transfer the heat making the Rads isnt Effecient, but i dont think making long loop will make Pump Lifespan lower IMO

I hope OP didn't order yet, 5960X for gaming is just so much money wasted for nothing better than a 5820K

the pump would have to work harder to push through more tubing maybe not by much but it is always possible that it could lower its life span if its working too hard.

i have not ordered yet , got a while till my money comes through , Ek is what ill be ordering for water blocks ect , i took in and thought about the CPU and cores aint my main need its power per core as i have 8 core now it sucks for gaming so 6 core over clocked i hope will get most for gaming 4-5ghz is what id like ( after over clock ) i understand about water pump pressure through 2 large rads but im hoping more means less fan noise , water pump is going to be tuff choice

5860x=8 cores, 16 threads

pci-e lanes going to be important for M.2 drive , + pci gpu's 

 

i7-5930K 3.50GHz looks good
