Computer Build Suggestions

[Ninjasupahsquid]

I have been trying to build a parts list for a custom Watercooled case for what seems like forever now... and I think I've done it. I just want some comments from the community on what they think. also I am a bit scared that when I go to assemble this thing... I won't have enough fittings... so I am buying as much as I think is neccessary 2 each for the 10 90 degree bends and 10 for the Rad, Monoblock, GPU Block, Res/Pump Combo.

 

Please tell me what I can do to make my build even better

a second 1080 ti , 256gb of ram , and 4 xeons. should show some improvement in speed

If you're just gaming, you'd be better off with a 8700k, it'll net you about 20-30% more frames in games. Highly recommended if you are using a 144hz monitor.

I would recommend getting pretty much any other radiator over that. Also another rad if you can fit it. Get premixed over concentrate, two bottles preferably. 

 

You don’t need the jumper for the psu, a paper clip can do the same thing, or any wire. Think you have 2 extra fittings, unless I counted wrong.

you'll wanna verify that your GPU isnt the second generation strix.

For users that own the altered version of the ASUS ROG Strix GeForce® GTX 1080 Ti PCB (GPUs with serial numbers: HBYVCM064817 - HBYVCM999999, HCYVCM000001 - HCYVCM059975), there will be a new EK-FC1080 GTX Ti Strix Backplate Rev 2.0 available soon!

also, not too many have successfully achieved 3200+ on 4x8GB modules. might have to scale down on speed or cost of RAM used.

 

if your plans include increased voltage on overclocking, you'll want another 240 radiator to keep the fans speeds lowered as even a 'silent' case will bleed fan noise at high rpms.

360 intake and 240 exhaust can make for a balanced (or slight positive pressure) scenario.

 

speaking of case, the 700 is a good air cabinet, but for watercooling i think you'll be crippling thermals and noise desire using the 700. based for silence, means internal airflow is not the best and you do need internal flow to have the radiator(s) function as designed. something with a meshed front intake and unrestricted roof vent for air exhaust.

I might have some extra fittings for just in case
