I have a build, what do you think?

Go to solution Solved by nobelharvards,

You bought an AIO. It will be noisier than a large air cooler, cost more and not last as long. You can turn up the fans and make it perform better than a dual tower air cooler at the cost of a LOT of noise, or make it as quiet as a dual tower air cooler with worse performance.

 

My advice? Get a dual tower air cooler.

 

You chose a 730 series Intel SSD. At $200. That is almost a dollar per gig. That is NVMe territory, and it is a SATA SSD.

 

Get an 850 Evo. Don't pay more than ~$0.50 per gig for a SATA SSD.

 

PSU is absolute shit. Get something else. Every Corsair PSU is rebranded from another company. Do your research, make sure you get a reputable PSU from a company like Seasonic.

 

You bought an optical drive. Sick. When was the last time you used a CD for anything? Do you actually need it? If so, alright.

 

You bought 3 case fans...

Spoiler


 


 

Don't buy a Deathadder unless you use palm grip AND have large hands. If you only fulfil one of these conditions, get something smaller. Try a Logitech G Pro, a Nixeus Revel or a DM1 Pro S.

that psu is an eyesore, it isnt bad but it looks really cheap compared to the rest

Your 4K display is only 24", a bit small don't you think?

 

$105 in fans.

 

Overpriced RAM, GSkill TridentZ are cheaper and better.

@iLoiterI just have seen that ssd recommended several times, and what would you suggest? @stconquest How big should it be then?

Samsung 850 EVO is as fast as you need for a SATA III connection.

 

IDK, 4K... 32" min?  It is a personal thing.

You should probably do this ---> http://pcpartpicker.com/list/x2RQD8

 

 

Because that one saves you a lot of money, I think like about $150? Idk for sure. I didn't change much. Also, do you really think you need 3 fans on top of liquid cooling???

@stconquestUnderstandable, any specific monitor recommendations? 

If this is a gaming PC, I would do 144Hz, 1440p, IPS... it fits within your budget.

 

Comparative build, fill in the extra peripherals.  If you want LED lighting, do yourself a favor and use strips.

 

$2373, no peripherals:

@radiosnakes I would recommend Western Digital for your hard drive and do a non-corsair psu, as you can see above they are simply rebranded versions of other companies, i recommend evga for a power supply. Also, if your not sure about compatibility, check the youtube channel "Awesomesauce Network" 's video about computer part compatibility. I'm guessing you have about a $2000 budget. I think you could squeeze these higher performance parts into that.

EVGA does not make their power supplies either.

Grab the Seasonic EVO 750W.  Fully modular, plenty of power for SLI in the future:  http://pcpartpicker.com/product/zTdqqs/seasonic-power-supply-ss750am2

 

Want power for just the one GTX 1080?  http://pcpartpicker.com/product/qYTrxr/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1

 

The EVGA G2 550W PSU above is made by Superflower.  Good unit.
