CPU: i7-6850k

CPU Cooler: CM Nepton 240M

MB: ASUS x99 Deluxe ii

Ram: 16gb g.skill v series 3200 mhs

GPU #1: Sapphire R9 380 Nitro (4GB)

GPU #2: Sapphire R9 380 Nitro (4GB)

PSU: XFX 1250w (+80 Gold) - Full modular

SSD: Samsung 950 m.2 256 gb

HDD: 1TB

 

Monitor: AOC G2770PF - 1ms 144hz

 

I know the gpus is kinda low end, but might be swapped after a year or so..

How does the rest sound? And is it okay for the next 2-3 years?

#1 That psu is WAYYYYY overkill.

#2 I 101% don't understand why you decided to crossfire two last gen GPUs. Why not get a GTX 1070 or something instead?

#3 6850k ain't worth it you should get a 6800k instead. 

 

If if you want, if you just give me a budget and what you're gonna do with this PC I can make a nice partlist for you.

 

Also, if you incorporate the suggestions that I made your build should be able to last 2-3 years without having to upgrade anything (not even the GPU as long as you're willing to maybe turn down settings a little in the future).

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

I had the PSU and gpus from some old testing stuff (Actually got 3x 380s - but they can only crossfire in 2). gonna add 2x 1080 later on. reason for the cpu is that i would like to have the 40 lanes, also im gonna use the thunderbolt 3 card for extra storage.

Ah right ok.

 

I would say if it is just a gaming pc then a regular 850 EVO would do fine for the SSD. You probably won't need the 40 lane cpu though if you are just doing SLI. Even if you stick with the 950 PRO you can still do x16/x8 for the gpu's.

 

Are you going to upgrade the Monitor to 4K when you get the 2 x 1080's ?

Not sure why you would use a thunderbolt 3 card for storage....

 

Anyhow, even if you do that you can still put the GPUs in x8/x8, give x4 to the ssd, x4 to the tb3 card, which uses 24 lanes (giving you still 4 leftover).

Still 1250W is overkill. You should degrade it to 750W.

Edit: Oh I'm an idiot.
