Full bank-killing PC build ($7000-$8000)

[Zakuul]

Reaching for the future, any thoughts on this build? Also if someone could shed some light on the supposed compatibility error that'd be awesome.

 

I plan on getting a PCIE SATA III card so I can plug in two more HDDs. Total storage devices will be 9, and should I forgo the 850 and go with another Black drive in raid 0? (Also ordering a 8TBx4 WD Red 4 bay NAS so 0 is fine)

What exactly would you use this for?

[GirlFromYonder]

The incompatibilty means you dont have enough sata slots

Gaming, productivity, rendering and I plan on offloading the many movies I have into the Computer so I can sell em.

So it's not an error because it's a new MOBO in the system? I will literally only have 2 SATA ports enabled if I use the M.2? Ehh?

how much rendering and you dont need these many high performance drives

Sounds like it.

I make 3d models and other projects.

 

I could buy gold drives /shrug

I sent MSI an email so I'm just hoping it's an error, would suck if one M.2 drive literally borked the Mobo for storage..

then maybe thread ripper or a r7 1700x would be better?

There are higher capacity drives out there so why not get bigger ones instead of 5 """small""" ones?

Still wanna game because in 2 years I'll be done with what I'm currently doing (uni) so I want it to last.

 

While TR can do a lot in multi-tasking, 8700k will be fine, plus it's more powerful in single operation.

Wanted to do raid 0 for extra spood beest. lol

[Fardin]

change the cooler to aio or custom loop or atleast something black , cryorig r1 ultimate/universal, dark rock 3 pro are alternative if you like air.. that is the eyesore to me comparing rest of the build lol

YEs but the future also means multicore games 

 

and why the overkill godlike gaming?

Future proofing while I got money coming in without having to pay for bills, also going to be overclocking. 7700k will last a long time and 8700k will last even longer.

raid 0 on 2 54000 rpm would be enough

I want to hit SSD-like speed but with the large storage. So far synthetically I'm about 70% there which is fine.

The motherboard and GPU is overkill. There are cheaper 1080ti which perform the same.

[Imbellis]

About the Noctua iPPC 3000, they're good fans, but get very loud. Some of Noctua's LNAs don't work with them - so you'd need to go through bios to adjust them. While running at a lower RPM, they move great air but are still noticeable. I'd say about 3 feet away, they're as loud as a room's fan on high settings (noise from air movement).

Overclocking and I'm using the motherboard since I'm going gigabit so the extra ethernet is going to be a boon.

 

If I am forced to I will probably have to go with the two golds unless MSI clears it up.

By a gigabit pci-e expansion card

this is will still be the case because the 8700k ONLY has 16 pcie lanes so you have a platform restriction.

 

Why not go with a intel HEDT. You will get all the features you want and wont have to worry about PCI stuff.

The motherboard itself supports it iirc.

 

HEDT?

High end desktop platforms. You know, the 6-8 core i7s and the i9s 

 

 

And change ur gpu it is waaaaaaaaaaay to overkill.
