Yeah. Suggested that, but he's got money to burn, so why not get a 6 core? He doesn't want X299 though. 

Gaming performance is worse. That's why.

i mean it isnt my money i can show him multiple builds, only thing is he has no idea how to overclock so if you think x299 is fine then show a build

Then Ryzen it is! I'd still recommend a 7700K though...

Nickel or bare copper/

I would go 7700k for a build that maximizes gaming performance of 1700 for a build that maximizes multitasking.

You should be able to OC it for him. If you get a 7700K, get it to 4.8GHz or something not too high, then hand it over.

Bare copper on the heatsinnk, but nickel plated for looks. Copper is great at transferring heat.

unless you can give me a step by step guide to give him then i dont think it will be overclcoked

Oh. Then get a 7700K, since it's got a solid clock speed out of the box.

Copper! Copper is always better, AFAIK.

what about terminal flow type? serial or parallel

No idea what that is.

so the config thing seems to not be the best because its always just giving me hella expensive shit

what other GPU than a 1080 ti do you think because dont have the budget to do two 1080 ti s with the config thing so i can do maybe one of something else

Yeah. I always use it, then remove the fans and other extras to see the actual cost. Should be around $700-$800 for a full custom loop from EK. Not like it's gonna break or wear out or be crappy though. 

 

Oh, and about parallel vs series, parallel seems to have better flow: http://www.overclock.net/t/1014950/sli-water-blocks-series-or-parallel

ok maybe i shouldnt use the config and have someone get me a loop for the stuff

is there a ASUS board thats better than the MSI one thats cheaper?

I'd use the config to get a general idea of what you need, then build your own list. And if you use hardline, make sure and be extra sure you have enough fittings, of all the shapes and sizes you need. I'd build the PC with air cooling, then snap a picture and use MS paint or something to plan out a rough sketch of what you'll do, then get a few extra fittings in case you need them. And make sure and plan for a way to drain the loop easily.

Yea i dont think the streamer knows how to do all this maybe just a really expensive AIO is better

I just picked the Gaming Pro Carbon since it's one of my faves. You could get an ASUS though. I'll tweak the list quick once we're finished narrowing it down.

so def a ASUS board, not custom loop, maybe a AIO gpu and AIO CPU

Hmmmm.  I'd just stick with air cooling then, unless it's for looks. Though Cryorig's Ultimate coolers look pretty awesome...

Arent high end AIOs better than air?

Ugh. Not an AIO GPU. Spoils the whole look*. I'd just get an EVGA FTW3 or STRX card (theyre neutral colors, I like the Gaming X). 

 

 

*Unless it's an EVGA or Seahawk one, those look nice.
