Final PC Configuration Build

[HuntingForEXP]

So many people weren't happy with my two PC one case build. So I've decided to revise my build itself.

I still am not going for ONE PC due to the high amounts of load I will be putting on the Main PC, because I do spend 10 hours Max each day on the computer for schoolwork, Work, Streaming, Games, Rendering, Editing, You name it. Plus it's just easier for me to handle instead of going from game to stream constantly

 

So I've up'd the ante on my gaming build and put a little aside for a separate streaming build for later on if I feel necessary.

I still have ALL of the same peripherals as nothing has changed. 

And I have upgraded to an i7-6700k with a 1070 FTW EVGA Card

 

So regardless of what people say, I am experienced with computers, I've had alot of years configuring my own build throughout the years, and I've decided to upgrade to a better one.

Yes I am going to want to make it pretty with MY choices, they're just like my peripherals, and I will not change them because you think it's "Unnecessary".

 

So I am including a Custom Water Cooling system with the Gaming Rig from EKWB.com and CableMod will be supplying me with all of my cabling needs, cause overkill man 

 

 

So let's get Started.

 

 

First off we have the GAMING PC Configuration that I got off of PCPartPicker and all of the parts listed have been taken from my preferred merchant on Newegg

For the CPU: I chose the i7-6700k due to it's high overclockability and it's amazing capability for 4k rendering with select GPU's

For the Motherboard: I decided to go with MSI's KRAIT 3X ATX Gaming Board due to it's onboard RAID support, 64GB supported memory and both SLI and Crossfire Support.

For the Ram: 16GB's of DDR4-3000 Memory will handle literally anything I need to, sure it may seem overkill but for the long run it's worth it. Plus the LED's :3

For the SSD: Samsung's 850 250GB Evo is more than enough space for my OS, and for my editing software and things I need to not be pieces of shit.

For the HDD: I'm using a Toshiba 1TB drive that I am repurposing from a pre-built that I had purchased last November. Save money!

For the Video Card: I did not go cheap with this one, the EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB FTW DT Card. Phew, alot of good specs on it to help me render, edit, and play games at 4k resolution.

For the Case: I went with NZXT's SLEEK ASS H440 in a Matte Black for Aesthetics and Pricing.

For the Power Supply: I went with the ever-trustworthy EVGA 850W Powersupply 80+ Gold for my system and my watercooling solution.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So now I've decided to go with more fans and lighting because I'm cool like that.

 

So our case is the - NZXT H440 (Matte Black) ATX Mid Tower Case

 

We might as well start with the actual Water-Cooling components first and add in the lighting after. So that's what we'll do!

Seems good. Copy-paste is a virtue, isn't it?? Too bad my attention span isn't.

I had made a few changes, didn't feel like just reposting in the comments

Why i5 4460 and a z mobo?

I mean, when you're spending $2700 on a custom water-cooled dual PC rig, why not go for the 1080? the price increase at this budget is minimal and the performance gains are significant

[anybodykek]

For the streaming PC, you might as well go for a 4690K, possibly even 6600K if you want an all-skylake build.

yeah, and micro ATX H81 and B85 boards are cheap AF

[HuntingForEXP]

Throw me up a PCPartpicker Link to what you think would be better. Because the reason why I chose the 1070 was because it was compatible with the water block

I'd have to go with the 1080 FTW GPU

[HuntingForEXP]

What im saying is, put what you think is the best choice and I'd find a new block?
