Hello!

I am looking to do a liquid cooled build around 2021.  I know that's pretty far in the future, but stay with me.  This will be a dual-reservoir, hardline build.  One of the reservoirs will be for the CPU and RAM.  The other will be for the GPUs and SSDs.  It will have basically the most overkill parts (without going too far) but will actually be useful.  I am planning for it to be in the 900D or the case that Skunkworks is in.  It will be black and orange, and I will paint the withe on the mobo black (just so you know).

 

I would like your help to help me choose what parts i should use.  I have a mock list of what might come in the future, but feel free to change it.

 

Current List:

Intel Core i9-7xxxX Extreme Edition 

Gigabyte X99 Phoenix SLI

Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR4-3200 (8x4)

Samsung 960 Pro 256GB (OS)

Samsung 850 Pro 256GB (Games & Apps)

Samsung 850 Pro 2TB (Mass Storage)

2x GeForce GTX 1180Ti(?) (SLI)

GeForce GTX Titan XP

Corsair 900D

Corsair AX1500i (I know, probably overkill)

3x Asus PG278Q ROG Swift (Gaming & Video Editing)

Asus PG348Q (Movies)

Water Cooling stuff

 

Feel free to give me actually possible parts that would be better than these.  

 

If you want any more info, feel free to comment it!

Thanks!

Like I've told to anyone asking for build planning help, you are better off waiting until you can dish out the money to buy the computer to ask for a parts list. Prices change and new products enter the market every week.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

i9 where???

 

at that point get 64gb since you are throwing money away 

 

1180ti? maybe a few years. close future is a 1080ti

 

jesus, you are throwing money. software and game has an fps cap you know

7th Generation i9 Extreme Edition (if an i9 comes out, if not, 7th Generation i7 Extreme Edition).  You are probably right about the RAM.  About your 1180Ti thing, I did say 2021.  The thing is, more graphics-demanding games will come out, so I want to be ready.

your choice if you can wait. 4K might be a mainstream and people might go for 8K monitor by then

Like I said for the other guy, I did say 2021.  I could get a lot of money in that time period.

Don't tell them that anytime, they might been waiting for 10 years for a suitable gpu

the technologies, hardware, and pricing will vastly change in 5-years, so planning on current hardware requirements is way too far ahead of the game.

in three years, we'll have storage and RAM as one, in 5 years we'll prolly be on SOC (system on chip) motherboards, the GPU market will be nothing like todays hardware. PSU over 450 will be overkill, and cooling requirements will be simple fans (65watt overclocked CPUs) so watercooling will be an unnecessary extravagance. and that chassis/case will house 5 complete builds.

 

wanna get in front of the pricing, save now; but decide in 5 years.

2021? For real? 

 

Think back 5 years...

 

We were rocking Sandy Bridge era Intel CPU's, 500 series Nvidia cards, most motherboards supporting max 24gb DDR3.

 

Would you buy ANY of that today? (Since you said a "1180ti" that would be the equivalent of buying a 660ti today, when 1080's are around)

 

Save your money. Buy when ready. It makes no sense to even try and plan on any hardware 5 years out.

This is the most nonsensical idea I've ever heard. 5 YEARS!?!? As has already been mentioned, are you remotely cognisant of how much things have moved on in the past 5 years? Imagine trying to pre-plan the ultimate system for today back in 2011... simply IMPOSSIBLE! No one has any idea what will be available in 2021, not even the manufacturers themselves (although they may be R&D'ing stuff in secret labs, so if you can break in there you could gain some foresight), never mind what will be 'good' and 'useful'. Just wait, trying to plan this now is a futile exercise... suffice to say you will be getting a cool looking motherboard, fast CPU and top end GPU. That's really all you can say today.

System: Ryzen 7 5800X - Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master - Noctua D15S Chromax - 32GB 3600 RAM - EVGA Black 2080Ti
