) plan to build one off these (Which one is better?

[igorrocks]

BlueTeam Build:
CPU: Intel i7-6700K

AIO: Corsair h100I v2

RAM: 32 GB DDR4 2400

VGA: RX 480 Triple CrossFire in response to GTX 1080 (Dual CF has beaten GTX 1080 as Manufacturers have reported)
Storage: 2.5" SSD, 2 x 3.5"  HDD's 

PSU: 850 Watts 

Case: ??? Which one would best for current config?

 

TeamRed: 
CPU: AMD FX 9590  Black Edition (My doubts boy this one  is: A: it will bottleneck B: it will burn the hell up with 220W TDP)

AIO: Corsair h100I v2

32GB DDR3 2133
VGA: RX 480 Triple CrossFire
Storage: 2.5" SSD, 2 x 3.5"  HDD

PSU: 850 Watts 

Case: ??? Which one would best for current config?

[Samppa221]

6700k

 

Master Case Pro 5?

[19_blackie_73]

i doubt that triple crossfire is a good idea because not all games support that. but other than that, 6700k all day.

case: phanteks enthoo series?

[don_svetlio]

6700K and don't do triple CF. dual maybe but not triple

[Crunken]

Blueteam for sure

[Guest]

Intel.

 

What is the pc being used for ?

 

Also as above don't do 3 x RX 480's.

if i was you,i'd go with the teamred build and buy a 80+ platinum PSU and/or better + better water cooling (e.g. an H115i). that roided up processor is going to give you a repeated kicking if you're using anything below that afaik.

like don said,triple CF is just going to cause you problems in games that don't know what to do with three cards,let alone two.

for the case,any gigantic case would do the trick,i.e. a phanteks enthoo pro.

but,hey,it's your call. both of these builds aren't bad choices at all.

I don't even plan to use anything below Platinum grade as in my experience Bronze and Gold tend to fail after warranty is up...

bahh... everyone has their experience i guess.

maybe an 80+ titanium PSU (if they even make these in 850W format)?

They do 860s  but it costs around $500 CAD I like Corsair blue series  Platinum very much.cost less and performance is awesome *knocking on wood three times*

That isn't true at all. The efficiency has no bearing on the quality.

Well on me tt and EVGA modular PSUs died even if I blow dust out case regularly every 6 months of maintenance Modulars Bronze andGold have trouble keep voltage in check and My ASUS boards always complained about it in UEFI...

[stconquest]

I still have an "uncertified" Ultra LSP 750W kicking after six years of use, 2-3 years of heavy use. 

 

Well, the fact that you even have a FX build in consideration is scary.

 

Best of luck!

because they're EVGAs... they're just horrible corsair rebrands. still,though,i get what you mean.

yeah... it does. its efficiency determines how well it does when nearing the rated power output. if you're going to jack your TDP and your overall power usage,you might as well take a leap forward in efficiency to get cleaner power rather than burning right through every solder point in your rig.

You think EVGA units are Corsair rebrands ? I think that says enough about your pc knowledge.

So how does anyone rebrand a Corsair product that Corsair does not even make?

I think you need a name change to DERPflip.
