Oaxen · November 22, 2015

Hello everyone! Today it's a big day for me, i'm going to plan for a really high performance computer. If you want to help me out i will be very happy, Well let's start. if you want to help me just check out this reddit post i've created. https://redd.it/3tt3ro since i'ts the first computer i'm going to build it's hard to chose components such as: motherboard, storage, RAM. so i need your help!

I want your opinion on how i can improve my build, and what you think is "the best" (but to a reasonable price around 7000$ or less). For more info just check out the reddit post. If you don't have a reddit account just post here on LinusTechTips forum.

It just says "[removed]" when I press the link. Also, are you going for a custom watercooling loop?

$7k can get u a beast of a rig.

Triple SLI is the most ull want really, chuck the rest of the money into the rest of the components and build a fully custom water loop/chiller/sub zero cooling system around it and OC the sh*t out of it.

Going quad SLi is a waste of money tbh. You will be better of spending money on SSD's, high end audio, and an amazing cooling system. Forget AIO cooling solutions at this price range ull definably want a custom loop of some kind, be it ambient water, sub ambient water, or sub zero.
