4k Help Me Build A Pc

[TwistedJack]

Hi folks, 

I've gone through lots of videos of how to build a pc especially the ones of linustechtips. But I'm still doubtful abt the parts I'm to buy for my pc. 

 

I'm looking for a 4k gaming and would prefer one with the gtx 1080 if it's any good than the lower versions of Nvidia graphic cards (I would gladly accept suggestions of other cards to the gtx 1080 if they can accomplish my needs as well as the 1080 can or more), I'm looking for an Intel processor, most likely the new kaby Lake i7 processor  and I would like suggestions for the motherboard compatible with the kaby Lake i7 processor, I would like suggestions to the cooling fans and power supply as I'm not very strong in that area and the hard drive and ssd for the pc and finally I would like to know what cases will be compatible with these parts. I'm confused with the case the most as I'm not sure which is enough for these parts and I'm not sure if all the parts will fit into the case if I'm to look into one. 

Oh and finally my budget is around 2000 USD 

 

Just some questions that I would like to clear :

* What's the use of a heat sync? 

* Is a cooler necessary for the processor? 

* what type of cooling is the most practical and best?

 

I appreciate any help in advance. Thank you .

Divert hear away from critical components (RAM, CPU, GPU) to cooling solutions

Definitely

The most practical ist air cooling, but there is no single "best" solution. It depends on what you are trying to achieve

[myselfolli]

And have you only chosen the processor atm? Or have you setteled on other components as well?

A heatsink is used to draw heat away from the processor.

Yeah, unless you're looking to fry eggs on yours.

Most practical is an air cooler, for best performance water cooling *usually* is best.

Liquid Nitrogen. Clearly the most practical and best.

I'm pretty sure the titan x is preferred more for graphic work and not gaming may be wrong but he would be better if with a 1080 and maybe a 1080 in sli the sli part I don't know much about so that would require research

[HKZeroFive]

Not worth it to invest into Kaby Lake over Skylake unless you have the mindset where you need the latest and greatest. $20 for practically zero performance gain isn't worth it.

 

Here's a build with two GTX 1080s for 4K Ultra gaming. Either that or get a Titan XP and watercool it with a bracket and an AIO liquid cooler.

It might be better to just wait for the 1080 TI

picked it over gtx 1080 SLI to prevent the issues what would happen with SLI.

[Petoovee]

I assume you mean heat sink

These pick up the heat from the processor and because of their huge surface area, lets fans blow away the heat a little (lot) better than just blowing straight on the processor.

 

As for the cooler of the processor.

These are the difference between underclocking your 2550k to 2.8GHz on the stock cooler vs running it on 5.0GHz on a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO.

Without one, don't expect to get further than the bios though, without maybe shortening the CPU_FAN pins, in which case you might get to see your windows wallpaper before it throttles thermally down to zero until it shuts off.

Most practical and best, custom loop watercooling. Costs the same as an old car.

 

Value for cash? The Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, 40$ and you're golden.

Nothing impressive, one of the most popular fans on the market though.

Yeah, popular but not that popular anymore I hope. You can get better for the same price.  hopefully you don't mean 40$ usd, that would be a scam.

No you're thinking of the quadros. Titan XP is actually meant for gaming as absurd as it sounds.

I'd get a T1 PSU if you plan on spending so much on a PC already.

42.15$ usd in Sweden.

Computer parts are so much more expensive here compared to newegg and amazon

Even Amazon UK constantly undercuts by like 20%, but buying from there is an extreme hassle.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/BTxDnn The cooler and the case is up to you. If you don't need 6 cores, you might want to go for the 7700k. Also, it would be a good idea to wait for the 1080 TI. I will be about 25 percent faster

$41.15 for the 212 for us, guess we're on the same boat

Also, the best cooling (except custom water loops (500 USD+) is about 100 USD. H115i from Corsair is nice, but if it is out of your budget right now you can always but a 212 EVO and upgrade the cooling if you need it down the road.
