Why not a 6900k? I think that would be better suited.

[Guest]

I almost shit myself reading that list

 

1. Get RGB Thermaltake PSU if you really want to be cool
2. Wait for RGB RAM from I don't remember anymore who makes them
3. Uhm G910 maybe? Looks cooler

Grizzly Kryonaut for thermal paste 

[Bobsanderz]

For what I'm doing 6 cores is enough.

I will,check all those out .

What do you guys think of Ryzen Summit ridge?

If you want you could wait and see if it's worth it.

Considering you're going Titan X Pascal SLI you never know. It's probably safer to just get a 6900k.

[Bobsanderz]

Good point. I'm already going overkill so why not.

Please do tell me, what do you plan on doing with this rig, and or is this a troll rig cause it feels like it "10K Rig" the amount of diminishing returns is uncomprehensible and you compare the 7700K to a hexacore makes me think you aren't doing professional work that involves video editing etc.

I do professional video editing for companies. Usually for advertising, and I play video games as a hobby. That is the short answer. I put or for that reason.

If you got X99 and actually push your storage then you might want to look at heatsinks for your m.2 drives, because those things really do push the point where they need some cooling at least.

 

I would also switch out your fans for EK Vardar's. Better performance, even if you do loose the RGB's on the fans.

OK i will look in to the heat sinks and the fans thank you.

SOFT TUBING in a 10K aesthetic build? WHAATTT?! For aesthetics and pretty much every other reason, hardline is a MUST. I see no reason why you'd go soft, it just looks so much cheaper, not to mention clouding and plasticiser gunk build up in your blocks over time, which PETG doesn't suffer from. There's even an argument for glass tubing at this price point.

 

I'd ditch the HDD, go all SSD and get the 2TB Samsung EVO SSD in place of the HDD.

 

Personally I'd also ditch the Cablemod cables and get a full custom set made... because if you're going all out, why not?

 

1500W PSU is wayyyy too much. 850W would be more than enough, and get the best one you can... EVGA Platinum, Seasonic or Super Flower top end, highest rated. I'd stay away from Corsair personally.

 

Have you considered the Phanteks Enthoo Elite? Far more impressive a case than the Magnum.

 

I question the need for that much rad space, you've gone beyond diminishing returns. You'll gain more noise than performance.

 

I'd also switch from EK to Heatkiller for the blocks and res, and an Alphacool VPP755 pump. Bitspower fittings as well possibly... more expensive, but greater range and they look better.

 

Goddamn, with 10K I could do so many amazing things!!

Thank you very much. I Have never done hardline tubing before so i am a bit worried. I will do more searching on it though.  Also i have heard that the Phantex Enthoo Elite is a very limited edition case and there are not many to bee sold.  On the cables i will defiantly switch. Same with the psu. All the liquid cooling brands i will take your advice.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOU ADVICE.

Hardline isn't THAT hard... yes it's harder, but the pay off is absolutely worth it, especially for an aesthetic build.

 

I don't know how limited the Elite is, but I'm sure you'd be able to get your hands on one if you try.

 

You should settle on a colour scheme, then you can choose your other components based on that (mobo, RAM, cables, fittings, coolant). Of course, you could just go all neutral and have coloured lighting.

I am working on a remake of this build based upon everyone advice.

 

You mentioned glass tubing above, i just watched some videos on petg and glass tubing and now im very adamant on using one of those two. Should i use glass over petg? Cost is no concern to be frank. On to the color scheme, I am thinking RGB lighting with white sleeved cables and clear coolant so i can change the color scheme whenever i want. What do you think?

Glass does look better. You can't bend it, although you can get pre-bent glass tubes. Obviously for any lengths where you would need two bends, you would need to join them with fittings, but that's easily done. Also measurements need to be precise so they all run straight, otherwise tubes running off at all different angles just looks bad. You still need to be precise with PETG, but with the glass you will have less faffing around with a heat gun and bending, so if I were in your shoes I would choose glass, money being no object.

Thanks for your suggestions and help. It does look super clean and beautiful. In your opinion, where should purchase the glass tubing from?

 

I live in the United States of America.

Mayhems sell it, they are UK based, but I am sure you can get in the US.
