Cheetah Build

Hello all,

 

So my goal of an upcoming build is to build a pc for performance without going all in i.e Titan X etc. So far I have:

 

  • Intel® Core™ i7-6700K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.20 GHz)
  • 512GB Samsung 950 pro M.2
  • Seagate 4TB SSHD
  • 750w Coolmaster V
  • Gigabyte Z170M-D3H Motherboard. I screwed up here as it was suppose to be the N version i.e mATX vs ITX. I was going to pair it with the NZXT Manta but alas I'm on the hunt for a new case
  • Gigabyte 980ti OC. Decided on this as opposed to a pascal card as I don't want to just finish this build and the ti range comes out.

Missing:

 

  • Trying to get 32-64GB or the G.Skill Trident Z DDR4 in yellow (will probably get white and paint or vinyl)
  • Water cooling: Going to go with EK water blocks for card and cpu pump and res probably depends on the case.
  • CASE: as I said above I messed up buying the wrong motherboard. So I'm looking for a  decent mid case or even a cube one. Currently Looking at the Thermaltake Core X31 or the IN WIN 805. Totally Up for suggestions.
  • Cables, once again I'm waiting on the case and then will order some custom cables from CableMOD.
  • Probably going to get a custom mouse pad designed

MODS:

 

Most of the modding will be painting re-badging things with vinyl as I have a cutter. The theme as the title suggests is a cheetah that I drew up and am in the process of deciding where to put the decals. Colour will be yellow/ black.

 

Thoughts, feelings, aspirations?

 

Cheers Nero

Why dont you just hold off on the build until they do? Having a 980ti would just make you regret your purchase after they come out. Especially if you're spending that much on a build aimed at performance.
