2014 build advice

[Stewartrc]

Hello guys, good community on these forums from what ive seen, so any advise or personal experience with some of the build would be appreciated please . Looking at getting something like this for 2014, been looking into in for awhile but not set on anything yet.

 

Budget £-

Location: UK

Use: GAMING!

Monitors: 2

 

 

 

 

Straight to the point, and rather then just put links and be lazy i put some images in there. Sorry for some of them being abit big.

 

 

Cooler Master Cosmos 2 Ultra Case / Custom side window

 

 

 

Asus ROG Maximus VI HERO

 

 

Intel Core i7-4770K

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Corsair Vengeance Pro Silver

 

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Superclocked

 

 

 

 

Corsair RM Series RM 1000 '80+ Gold' 1000W Power Supply

XSPC Razor GTX Titan / 780 / 780Ti GPU Waterblock

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

XSPC RayStorm CPU WaterBlock (Intel)

 

 

 

 

 

XSPC Photon 270 Tube Reservoir

 

 

 

 

Aqua Computer Aquastream XT USB 12V Pump - Ultra Version

 

Western Digital VelociRaptor 500GB 10000RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache

 

 

 

 

 

OCZ Vector 150 Series 19nm 240GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive

 

 

 

Thanks for taking a look guys, i used overclockers for reference but are a bit overpriced on most parts so there are better places to shop.

 

System would be overclocked to about 4.5 Ghz

X2 GPU's

16GB of Memory

Custom Loop

 

 

Possibly a better motherboard, but i don't see the point.

Possibly a full copper CPU block?

 

Loads of little things that arent in there, fans, rads etc.

 

 

Be gentle guys, still new to this.

a good 850w should power that easy also if your building for 2014 why not wait for new stuff to come out maxwell is real close?

[Stewartrc]

Well there is some other stuff to go on there and there are x2 GPU's, and for the sake of £40 it might be worth.

 

and are you referring to the GTX 800 series?

use http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/ to manage your builds

 

For gaming the 4670k is good enough. Also an amd 8320/50 is good

 

There's no need in getting 16gbs of ram for gaming just go for 8gbs.

 

You don't need the 1000w for 2 780's

 

It's a waste of money going for velocirapter - seagate barricuda instead http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/seagate-internal-hard-drive-st2000dm001

 

as for ssd - http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7te250bw

 

If those blocks come with blue leds they will clash with the motherboards colour scheme -  http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gaz87xud3h

Did you consider getting an EVGA Hydro GTX 780?

 

 

If you want real storage performance replace the two drives with a 750GB SSD, http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00E391OKY/?tag=pcp0f-21.

 

The VelociRaptor is not an optimal part for the build, IMO.

 

As others have noted the psu is too large.

Thanks for the awesome link lilc, are take a look at around there.

 

And the Blue LED's are just in the pic, not what is planned.

:lol:  Post your pcpartpicker list once you've got it. Use the BBCCode button that will appear (above list on right) once you've got stuff in your build.

[WoodenMarker]

Why a custom loop?

Rough budget?

The psu is overkill even for a 780 Ti sli.

You want me to post all the BBcode markup? :blink:

That's fine. You can include parts that are not in the database using Add Custom Part.

Thanks man, if id known about that site i would have done it and known a bit more

 

What peripherals do you have so far?

 

Iam running an Alienware M14x Laptop on a screen with a R,A,T 3 mouse.

But i dont think it can handle much more lol, runs BF4 on lowest settings but still has some trouble. Hence why its time to upgrade.

Philips 24inch LCD screen

Logitech surrond sound.

 

 

System first then i can start looking at everything eles.

 

The normal peripherals ive looked at though, Razer, R.A.T etc.

I'd definitely get a better display right off the bat. There's no point getting a baller rig when you're spending the day staring at a junk display.

Is the bluray drive really necessary?

Agree, i just didn't think it was necessary in the thread.

 

Intresting build, i did consider the R290X's

 

I will have to take alook at all this after ive had some sleep.

 

And no the blu-Ray isn't necessary, iam just a tit and didn't look properly :angry:

If you are going for a custom loop, the r9 290 is a good fit

My understanding is they don't overclock as well has the GTX cards?

 

i only looked at the 290x so are take alook at the 290

The 290 overclocks as well or even better than gtx cards.

There's no point getting the 290x since the 290 performs just as well for much less.
