First PC Build Help

[TheOriginalSlug]

This is my first PC build and I am wondering if any of these parts would not work together or if I'm missing, so if I'm missing something, going overboard, can improve on the quality of a part, and/or cheapen a part, please let me know in the comments. PC: Case MOBO, RAM, CPU, GPU(x4), Power Supply, Water Cooling: Reservoir/Pump, Radiator(560mm x 4), CPU Block, GPU Block, Quad Terminal, Tubing, Fittings, and Radiator(280mm x2).

Hi @TheOriginalSlug, welcome to the forums.

I suggest you pick your components in PCPartPicker.com and see if it warns you of compatibility issues.

I also advise you against doing custom water cooling if this is your first build ever. There's so much stuff that can go wrong, even for experienced builders, that it's not even funny.

Will do, but what if I were to get an experienced person to do the water cooling for me and set it all up for me?

You could, but what would be the purpose then?

Good point, so what should I do instead of water cooling (I was recommended by Reddit to do closed loop water cooling for the CPU)?

CPU and motherboard aren't compatible. You need a i7 6700K with a Z170 motherboard for it to work.

 

As for the four Titan Xs... wow. Scaling is generally poor above 2-way SLI though so it's a waste of money to be perfectly honest if you're doing four. Even then, Pascal isn't keen on anything above 2 cards.

Get a good aftermarket cooler. Noctuas are very well regarded in that respect. Also, I noticed that your CPU and motherboard choice aren't compatible. You must pick something with an LGA 1151 socket. Basically, anything that doesn't have an X99 in the model number.

And I don't think the 6700K has enough PCI-e lanes. You need a 6850K.

That is true. Even then, NVIDIA isn't keen on anything above 2-way SLI anymore for Pascal cards.
