Hy everyone i have a build here done on PCpart picker:

 

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheBlackGates/saved/8c6hqs

 

I don't do 3D rendering, no big data or computing need, nothing realy but gaming ...

STOP ME FROM BUYING WHAT I DON'T NEED PLEASE xD 

Money ain't a problem on this but i feel bad for wanting to buy this stuf after all the vids linus has done about how useless and overkill it's for gaming ...

                                         -RGB

                                         -Watercooling (GPU and CPU)

                                         -4K gaming

                                         -3 screen configuration

Everything looks more or less ok. Just that it supports 4K gaming but cannot play @ 4K that's all as there isn't a 4K monitor in there. But then I guess you already have the 4K monitor.

 

Remember to take pictures of your build once it done to share with all of us!

How do you plan to 4K game without a 4K monitor? :)

 

Do you really need to go for an i9? And 64GB of RAM is massive overkill if it's just for gaming!

Then what cpu is the best for gaming ? and nothing else ? future proof enought not to be a bottleneck for my gpu later on ? 

how much ram do i realy need ? (when i do gaming everything is closed (i'm not a big fan of multitasking).

Nothing beats a 7700k now, though you should really wait for 8700k.

 

16GB RAM is enough even for streaming. If you think filling in all the RAM slots looks good then get 4 4GB sticks.

What Jurrunio said, 7700k or 8700k will be a better purchase I would say!

 

16GB should be plenty, 32GB if you feel you really need a lot

1. The case only supports up to 15 fans, so I dont know why you plan on buying 16.

 

2. Why so many SATA SSDs and a small NVMe SSD. Just get big NVMe SSD (s) but keep in mind on number of M.2 slots on the mobo.

 

3. 1000W PSU is enough

 

4.You dont need X299 CPUs for gaming.

 

5. When using 16Gb of RAM, standard Windows 10 Home is enough

 

6. K or X CPU will need an aftermarket cooler. Get a the largest all-in-one water cooler your case can hold since you seems to have infinite budget.

 

7. Factory watercooled GPU instead. I dont think you know much about PC so you shouldn't build a custom loop yourself unless you get help from someone who really knows what he's doing. If you break something due to errors then that's too bad.

i know you love corsair, but if you spend this much on your pc, dont get the void headset, get a better one.

also personally, get samsung ssd's/nvme's. they are the most reliable

Ok i'll search for Samsung, but i know nothing about headset can you give me some intel ? 

Good mic and for listenning to music + being able to spot things thanks to sound on a map (fps games)

If it's mostly for gaming, but you still want X299, maybe consider the 7800X or the 7820X. 6 or 8 cores, with very good single core performance. They cost a whole lot less. 

Corsair Dom Plats look great, but that kit costs quite a lot more than other 16GB kits. 

Corsair SSDs don't spring to mind as particularly high quality, but it should be fine. Corsair's customer service is supposed to be decent. You may want to check how long the warranties are. 

Gigabyte cards are mediocre. The 1080 Ti has a quadroupled 3 phase IIRC, so something like a Strix would be better. 

A Seasonic Prime would be a better PSU. Much newer, and better performance.

Holy crap, that's a lot of fans. 

Get better peripherals

:)

unfortunately dont know much about headsets, but the best choice is getting a good pair of headphones and buying a modmic or a boomarm + mic and popfilter

Wich peripherals are better ? :) that's the answer i'm looking for !

 

And a good display if possible ?

The K95 RGB Platinum is really nice. But the M65 Pro is just too heavy, and I feel it's uncomfortable. I would use this guide to find an appropriate one. As for headset, Massdrop often has drops on the Sennheiser PC37X. There's one running right now. Or the AKG K7XX, which is also nice. But that one's a headphone, without a mic. You would have to wait a while to get them, though. 

Depending on the budget for the headset, the Audio Technica ATH ADG1X or AG1X would be really good. 

Or you could get a nice set of headphones, and a standalone mic. 

I don't really know that much about displays, but there's the PG258Q if you want 1080p 240 Hz, the PG279Q if you want 165 Hz 1440p, Asus has a 4K 144 Hz, I think, then there's a bunch of ultrawides, like the PG348Q, and X35. All of them cost quite a lot. Dell has a relatively less expensive 1440p 165 Hz monitor with the S2417DG. 

 

For LGA1151, 2x 8GB stick of RAM would be a better 16GB configuration, with the possibility to upgrade in the future.
