The dream machine, 4K?

[Madalin]

Hi guys & girls,

 

i'm new to this forum and i'd like a little help with this dream i'm having...

 

 

1.Budget & Location

 

3000 euro, location Romania

I'll buy component each month from my pay check so it will take a while

2. Aim

All day use but gaming primay target , 4K gaming.

3. Monitors

1 monitor for starters possibly 3 but not in the near future

4. Peripherals

Yep, need a windows.

5. Why are you upgrading?

I'm upgrading because the laptop i'm using can't play the pretty new games. (not a gaming laptop)

 

I came to you guys because i want some advice on the parts i choose. I already watched many of Linus videos on youtube and made a list of what i think i'll need. What do you guys think?

 

The list:

 

Motherboard - MSI X99S Gaming 7

CPU - Intel Core i7-5820K

RAM - Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB kit 4x4GB DDR4 2133Mhz CL13

Video - MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti

Case - Corsair Obsidian Series 750D

CPU cooler - Corsair H100i GTX

RAM cooler - Arctic Cooling RC Turbo Module PWM

SSD - Kingston SM2280S3 120GB SATA 3 M.2 (system)

        - OCZ Vector ARC 100 240GB (games)

HDD - WD Caviar Blue 1TB (stuff)

Power supply - Aerocool Templarius Imperator 1150W 80Plus Gold

Monitor - AOC U2868PQU UHD

 

The thing that i'm not certain are:

 

1. They say the monitor is 4K resolutin at 60hz, will running games at full HD make them @120hz? (myguess is not but just asking)

2. The video board has 3 display pots 1.2 but i think the monitor has 1 as in v1.coudn't find any more info. Is display port 1.2 compatible with display port 1? Is this video board actually capable of 4K resolution on 3 monitors at the same time?

3. And last question: the MSI GeForce GTX 980 Ti has the type of 1 fan cooler with the plastic cover on it. Is this type of cooler the same/or less efficient than the ones with 3 fans?

 

Thanks,

 

The new guy

the 120 hz will not happen, yes the displayport is compatible, but you need 1.2 i think for 4K @ 60Hz, and the cooler is fine

To awnser this question, no. A 60hz monitor cannot go over it's set refresh rate (some monitors can overclock to 75hz but i dont recommend it)

On another note DO NOT BUY MONTH BY MONTH

 

By the time the build is complete, the initial purchases will be outdated. Just save your ass off and buy as a job lot when you have the money this way you will have the newest products at the lowest price (aka if its been out like 8 months vs 2 weeks and then sits in your cupboard losing money)

If I were you...which i am not.

I would take the new skylake processor (i7 6700k) I have no expierince and i dont know much but it sounds promising.

 

If you take this processor though you also would need a motherboard with a Z170 socket.

 

in my build with a budget of $1200 ( around 1000 euros) I used the i5 6600k skylake processor and a Asus Z170-A ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Thanks for your answers, thought the 120hz think was impossible; as for saving money to buy it in one go, let's just say i see a shiny thing i buy it, can't really save money if my life depends on it. Once i make this PC i'll hold on to it 'till it rusts, not a fan of overclocking and upgrading to a new part as soon as it's released. I used a Pentium 4 PC until the games required a minimum of 2 core cpu, and i used a E8400 until it could face no more loads(i still have XP on this PC).

 

Found a review of the monitor i want to buy, still thinking about it, it will be among the last thing to buy anyway. Seems ok, downside are the colors, it's not recommended for video/pictures editing, witch i don't do.

 

Hope the video board can  handle 4K resolution with some decent graphics options, maybe i can turn on antialiasing and anisotropic in a game:)
