Hello there people, i am gonna build myself a new computer, my first computer made form scratch i have modified the computer im writing from now since 2008and now is the time to make one from scratch.

The parts i have picked out now are:

 

 

  •  ASUS GeForce GTX 770 2GB PhysX CUDA "DirectCU II OC", with Batman Arkham Origins
  •  ASUS Maximus VI Formula, Socket-1150 ATX, Z87, DDR3, 3xPCIe-x16, SLI/CFX, HDMI, DP, SupremeFX, WiFi, BT, Haswell
  •  Corsair AX 760i, 760W PSU ATX Digital, 80 Plus Platinum, Modular, 6x 6+2-pin PCIe, 12x SATA, 8x Molex
  •  Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU Kjøler 1150/1155/1156/1366/2011, AM2(+)/AM3(+)/FM1/FM2, 2700 RPM, 77 CFM, 37.68 dBA
  •  Corsair Obsidian 900D Big Tower Sort Vifter: 3x 120mm Front, 1x 140mm Bak, M/E/XL-ATX, m-ITX, HPTX, USB2.0/3.0, Vindu
  •  Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9 Kit w/2x 4GB XMS3 modules, CL9-9-9-24, 1.5V, Vengeance Heatspreader, 240
  •  Intel Core i7-4770K Processor Socket-LGA1150, Quad Core, 3.5GHz, 8MB, 84W, HD4600, Boxed w/fan, Haswell
  •  WD Desktop Green 2TB SATA 6Gb/s, (SATA 3.0), RPM = IntelliPower, 64MB, 3.5"

Well, now as you have read trough the list you may be thinking where are dem FANS?

well that is what i need help to fix!

 

My plan is to have aircooling for atleast 1-3 years before getting water cooling, why? beacuse of money and priorities.

the fans im thinking of are the corsair AF- SP 120/140mm Series And using the Corsair link cooling kit. idk where to mount the different models and sizes for best efficiency. i want it to be quiet tho.

the plan is to switch out the 140mm rear fan and fill up all the other fan mounts but not the 2 fans on the non window side of the case if you understand. Thanks for your time, sorry for poor english. -Viking

Why would you want a 900D? Get a 750D or something like that (a define R2 XL would work and it's silent)

My Pc: Cpu: I7 4790k @ 4,8 Ghz @1,25 volts, Motherboard: Maximus VII Formula, Graphicscard: 2x Titan X @1,4 at stock voltage (soon to be replaced), Ram: 32 gb Corsair Dominator Platinum 2133 Cl 9, SSD: 2x 850 Pro 1 Tb in Raid 0, 2x Samsung 840 Evo 1 tb raid 1,, PSU: Corsair HXi Series 1000W 80+ Platinum, Case: H440. Soon to be watercooled again, maybe, probably, the Titans are too loud.

Don't get the 900D,get a 700D. Don't get a WD Green, get a Seagate Barracuda. Don't get a 770,get a 7970.

If he is getting an AMD card then he should wait for the new cards. And WD Green aren't bad anymore there ok (obliviously he has to add an ssd cause all hdd's are too slow...)

The R9 280x in simple terms is a 7970. It's like comparing a 680 to a 770 they're very similar. I assume the R9 290x is out of his budget. Also yes WD Greens are better now but Barracudas are faster, cheap and a lot more reliable.

Ah yeah i have an SSD lying around here samsung, around 500 and something,

I will be considering a 700D (i have been switcing between dem cases for a few days now)

Seagate Barracuda, i will look into that.

And then the Amd Graphics card, i will have to say i am an nvidia Fanboy.. il have to look up its preformance!

So your budget is around 2k rigth? (I added it up to 1,8k+ fans) And your ssd is 500gb?  If would have to build one for 2k I would go for this config: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1JiWH + whatever graphics card you like (A gtx 780 or an R9 290x maybe)

Faster and cheaper and louder yes. But more relaible? Rly?

Nvidia cards still have those features amd won't have, maybe he need physx and CUDA. I agree with 900D if you're planning on heavy watercooling later on (like the overkill rig by linus) otherwise the 750D would be perfect.

Corsair C70|i7 3930K|Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600Mhz|Asrock x79 Extreme6|Samsung SSD 256GB|WD Green 3TB|Corsair H100i|Corsair TX750m |GTX 780 Palit Super JetStream (review here https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/54814-palit-gtx780-superjetstream-review/ )  -_-|

STILL LEARNING ENGLISH  :P  :P  :P

I don't notice them being any louder over previous WD's. Yes, in my 4 servers all I run is Barracudas now. To many WD failures.

Better? :P Remember that i have an SSD already

 

Ah, and for the guy saying something about the fan controller!

i maybe have accidentaly earsed that part, but im thinking on how to connect dem fans up and stuff like that

 

AND one more important thing, NO Noctua fans, they are ugly just no! idk why they havent tought of a more neutral color scheme, they would get their sales up probly by like 100%

@SnowcooledViking , you're going to hate me for suggesting yet another thing but if you're not in the US then you should get a Swiftech H320 instead of a H100i. I can't change your mind if you want Nvidia but you might want to wait until the 15th for the R9 290x and see what it has to offer.

May i ask why not use H100i? i live in norway and we have this scandinavian company making gaming computers and sell parts, its like ncix. There are many good reviews on it

The H100i I by no means bad it's just that the H320 is better. The top of the 700D fits a 360mm rad and the H320 is a 360mm rad.

I would go with 750D. And hold off on your GPU selection for now. Wait about a month or so.

On number of fans. Unless you really want to have jet plane on your desk, go for 2x140/120 front, H100/i with push or pull top. If you can fit one 120/140 bottom, it could provide cool air to gpu. Or you could have PSU fan up to intake hot air from gpu. But don't fill your case with fans. Its not really needed to keep system cool.
