What are we supposed to say? We have absolutely no information...

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Just your thoughts on the build. Is it good, is it bad? I make these when I get bored :P

It's okay, nothing special.. I like the GPU though. :)

I'm not the biggest fan of Zotac but for a 780 it's a killer deal!

You can get a 7990 for $600.

Not sure if rad fits in the case. 

Silverstone is awkwardly louder than the others. 

Reference 780 is meh considering it's not backing up a theme or anything.

Speaking of which, there doesn't seem to be much of a coherent theme. 

IPS panels preferred instead

8320 probably won't oc far even with the kraken x60--an FX mobo and 8350 would fit better.

meh 7990's, 690's, and GTX titans are a bit overrated in my opinion, if you doing gaming you can get  almost the same performance with less power cost, and more reliability. And the 780 is almost as fast as titan in games so if I was to do 3D modeling or something along those lines to take advantage of the double precision floating point not much of a use :D

I think you have a good idea with the parts, but if you're going to waste so much money why not waste more?

Get the 8350

Get an EVGA so you have better warranty on it(lifetime warranty if I remember correctly)

Thermaltake CPU cooler

and don't get LED's please? stick with Noctua fans.

with that windowed case, make sure to have good cable management and prober fan positioning since I guess you want a blower card and since because of that window you don't have a fan on the side to support the GPU.

 

But anywho, do as you please.

I was thinking I were to buy this rig i'd paint the green Geforce logo on the card to a blue or something, and the fans are all going to be ran at a low RPM, also the 8320 can easily be oced to the same speed as the 8350 :D also you are right the rad doesn't fit in the case, this was a just for fun thing, If i was serious about it i'd done more research on the case and such :D

If you're actually building a rig and not just making a list for fun, there are quite a bit of edits I'd recommend.

780 refference is shitty, get a proper ACX/Windforce or something cooling solution. Zotac is "meh" overally.

 

Any FX CPU in 2000$ build has no place, better go with i7. UNLESS you are a die hard fan.

 

And nope 8320 is not 'easily clockable to 8350 levels' because then 8350 is clockable higher than 8320 can ever achieve and even with that said the 9590 is the 'highest clockable CPU' because AMD decided to rip customers off the 'silicion lottery' and just profit on it instead.

So... If Jesus had the gold, would he buy himself out instead of waiting 3 days for the respawn?

8320 can get to 4+ GHZ i've gotten them to 4.5 on air pretty easy. Now an 8350 will do it easier than an a 8320 but the 8320 can do it no real problem

And what lucky/golden chip of 83xx should be FX 9590 can hit 5.0+ GHz easily for additional hell of a money because AMD decided to rip off customers.

They are stocked almost at 5.0. get 4 240mm rads or a 900D and fill it with rads you can go beyond that if you cool the motherboard as well!

It's a rip off, 8320/8350/9370/9590 are all the same CPU but AMD decided to rip off customers by using laws of 'silicon lottery' and charging initially 800$ for the highest binned chip. Even Intel doesn't do it.

 

As i said 2000$ should have i7 involved and not FX 8320, that's hilarious honestly :D

 

Why go with budget CPU for a high-end build? Unless you are a die-hard AMD fan, but then I would donate 300$ to AMD by buying 9590 - go go go! :D
