What custom cables should I be looking to get?

[Kloudkicker]

I'm planning an X299 system with a 7800x and a 1080ti for 1440p 165Hz gaming and streaming in 4K. What power connectors should I need? I will have a 2TB drive, and a 500GB nVme dad. No optical drive.

Streaming in 4K? Damn son. What's your internet like?

Might as well use the card to it's max performance. And with a 12 thread CPU and Gb Ethernet that shouldn't be a problem.

Just the CPU power motherboard 24 pin cable GPU power thats it and you must live in a good town like london, NY, and LA to have that internet

Actually, Nashville. How big is the CPU power connector? I don't know if I need 4+4 or 8 or 8+4

If you get an EVGA or Corsair PSU, you can buy colored power cables for them. You can't customize them as much as, say, Cablemods, but they're like 100$ vs the 400+ that Cablemods cost

I was guessing and I don't know that many states I can only name off about 10 of them because I live in Canada

My cablemod cables are only going 125-150

Oh I was assuming you were getting a premade pack with all the cables, not just the only ones you need.

If you already bought a set of cables, then why did you post this question?

I didn't get them yet because I'm not positive on the CPU power delivery.

By streaming 4K I'm assuming you mean watch netflix. I dont think there's any streaming service that supports outputting more than 1080p 60fps that i know of...

 

You will need

24pin Mobo connector

8 pin CPU connector

AT LEAST one 8pin and one 6pin PCI-E power connector for a Founders edition 1080ti, Most likely two 8 pin PCI-E for an aftermarket design. (Theres some cards like the GALAX HOF that use THREE 8 pins but those aren't nearly as common. The Asus STRIX and EVGA FTW3 versions both use dual 8 pins)

 

Also, are you looking at Extension cables, or cables to entirely replace the cables that come with the PSU? (Non modular vs modular?)

I actually meant recording in 4K, got my terms messed up. I'm replacing the cables on my rm1000x

Why X299 ? You would probably be better going with either a Ryzen R7 or waiting for ThreadRipper if you want more for your money.

Trying to decide between X299 and 1700
