Alright so i've been saving money for about a year and a half and i think i'm ready to do my build.
I do 3D art and rendering, software development, along with gaming like ARMA 3, Crysis 3 and other similar games. I'm not new to building PCs but this is my first extreme high end build, and also my first build with water cooling.

My part list:

Tower:

ASUS Rampage V Extreme Motherboard $470

Intel Core i-7 5930k CPU $576

Corsair Dominator Platinum 16gb 2666 RAM $395

EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX GPU $555

EVGA Supernova 1000 P2 $0(Coming out of my old PC)

Enthoo Primo Case $250

Also pulling my 2 WD Caviar black HDDs and i have a load of case fans from previous builds



Watercooling:

XSPC Dual bay D5 Pump Res Combo $270

2 x XSPC RX360mm Rads $210

14 x XSPC Compression fittings $120

Swiftech Apogee Waterblock $64

XSPC Razer GPU Block $134

XSPC Backplate $40

PrimoFlex Advanced LRT Onyx Black $26

6 x Noctua nf-f12 IPPC fans $156

Distilled water and PT Nuke




I'm also going to be buying a new desk($120), 2 ASUS PB278Q($840), monitor mounts, case lighting, and accent lighting, along with a few other accessories.

The total cost is $4472, while i saved $5000 for the whole thing.

I will be over clocking both the GPU and CPU.

I just wanted to make sure I've covered everything, and i'm not forgetting anything. I plan on doing the build over spring break(March 20- April 10), and i haven't ordered anything yet. It would really suck if i forgot something really stupid for the Water cooling loop or a major PC component.








 


Yeah im considering SLI 970s, or even SLI 980s if i can afford it
 


Haha another consideration i was having, also one of the reasons im not going SLI right out of the gate.
 
How will this work (only the pc)( no cooling included)
