PARTS:

CPU: Intel Core i7-5820K Haswell-E 6-Core 3.3 GHz - 389.99

CPU cooler: Alphacool Eisbaer 360 - 120.79

motherboard: MSI X99A GAMING PRO CARBON - -329.99

memory: Corsair Vengeance LED 32GB (4 x 8GB) - 172.99

storage: SAMSUNG 850 EVO 1TB - 349.99

video card: MSI GeForce GTX 1080 DirectX 12 GTX 1080 SEA HAWK EK X -  1,619.08

case: EVGA DG-86 - 199.99

power supply: EVGA 1000w 80 plus gold fully modular - 159.99

 

 

TOTAL- $3369.07

 

update: thanks for the advice. I changed the cpu to the correct socket type and changed the video card. To make things clear, the aio cooler is exandable and I am going to add the graphics cards into the loop. This is going to be used for 4k media veiwing, VR gaming, 4k gaming, and some editing.

 

update 2: changed the aio cooler to the 360mm version

 

any thoughts/advice would be appreciated

The build won't even work. Skylake is LGA1151 and cannot be used on LGA2011-3 motherboards.

 

Why are you getting STRIX waterblocks for FTW Gaming cards?

[byalexandr]

Those water blocks won't work with those cards, and you forgot to include all of the rest of the parts for the liquid cooling loop. And it would be quite odd for you to have an AIO for the CPU and a custom loop for the GPUs. And you're wasting money on a lot of those parts. You can make this build much cheaper with the same performance.

What's the goal of the build?

What will you be using it for?

What exactly are you going to be running monitor wise?

[roblesaturcamilo]

bro... please.... inform yourself before spending $3000+ dollars...

 

it's like... gggrrrhhhhhh !!!!!!!!

 

YOU ARE DOING EVERYTHING WRONG!!!!!!

[iiNNeX]

So your CPU is cooled by an AIO yet you have waterblocks for your GPUs ? wtf

 

Please, google my friend. If you are planning a custom loop for that kind of system and you want quality components, your budget will be way over $3k

I plan to use this for VR, 4k gaming, 4k media veiwing, and some video editing. I am planning on buying the Acer XB280HK bprz Black 28" as a primamary display and i have a 1440p secondary display.

the aio is expandable and i will and the video cards into the loop

They will run really hot. 240mm will not cool cpu and gpus effectively, infact they will probably thermally throttle like hell.

yes, I did have thoughts about this and was planning to change the aio to the 360mm version which i think will cool it adequately. thanks for confirming my thought

You say your AIO is expandable.... that doesn't mean you can throw whatever you want at it. a single 240 is about what you need to contain the heat on an overclocked 6700k, but it doesn't account for 2 extra GPU's or the fan speed/noise needed to keep those temps down. You couldn't overclock those 3 things on a 240 rad. You probably couldn't even run those 3 things not overclocked. You're going to need at LEAST 360mm of radiator space. Ideally you want much more than that, especially if you intend to do ANY overclocking (720mm would be ideal, more if you want.) or you're going to need some really fast and noise fans. Then there is the issue of the pump. AIO pumps are typically not designed for the resistance you're going to encounter in more than one radiator + CPU block + 2 GPU blocks + whatever hosing you're going to be using.

Secondly, you need blocks that can actually fit your GPU's. The strix blocks are designed for strix cards. You could buy default 1080 blocks from EK and put them on a EVGA SC card if you want since it uses the stock PCB, but that is about as mix-matchy as it gets. either get strix cards, or get the right blocks.

 

Thirdly, you need the correct motherboard for your CPU or the correct CPU for your motherboard. The two you have listed are not compatible.

I will look into the info of the pump they use in the aio. But other than that, I've changed the cpu to the correct socket, corrected the blocks, and changed it to the larger version aio

 

update: they say the pump can easily support a loop with two rads and two gpus, but they do not include any specifics such as head pressure

 

update 2: I have looked into this further and think i have to change my cooling solution because of the pump strength. Thanks for the help.
