2nd build

[killer5247]

So guys as my bro needs a new pc i am giving him away my old one and i need a powerful system with better aesthetics the experience i had with my previous build was very good so i have decided to go with intel again as i liked the 7600k this time i am going to go with 8700k and a 1080ti so the question is here should i get a founders edition or a reference model gpu as i am willing to custom watercool this rig in december 2k18

The most waterblocks are made for the founders editions but others should fit too. If you wanna be 100% shure that your waterblock fits go with the founders edition and check in the datasheet and installation guide from the waterblock manufacturer

I just saw the list and in my opinion you should try a m.2 nvme drive since you dont seem to have financial limitations...

 

With a samsung 960 evo you get like 15s total boot time from pushing the button to desktop.

 

And your powersupply looks very overpowered. You wont need full modular exept if you cablemod so thats op, you wont need 750w since the system might pull about 500 so youll be fine with 600w. If you wanna be able to upgrade to dual gpus use 750...

 

Why 80+ platin.....

the point is that this might give you an ecofriendly image but if you calculate it against a 80 plus gold (like 50$ off) you actually have to run the system for 10 years to get that money back.... even just switching it off everytime you leave for more than half a hour would save you 10 times more money....

Rest looks really good

exept the 500gb hard drive.... i would go for 1tb/2tb you never know.

 

Ahour of 1080p 60hz raw game footage will use up up to 15GB so you will never be able to really record a lot.

Dude the 960 evo is double the price and founders edition might be a bad choice i guess they have blocks for strix and yeah i am getting cablemod plus i already have the harddrive and i am going to cool to cards i will buy one more 1080ti when i am gonna do a custom watercool

ok true. Platin is still more than it will pay out in my opinion but the rest looks great.
