Hello, I wanted to know if this PC could run some games at 4K, at least at 30 fps. I also wanted to know if this could do a bit of editing/rendering.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/sVNVMp (MOBA is ASUS Rampage V Extreme, sorry.)

I also wanted to know if my MOBA has an SLI Bridge included.

Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance! :)
 


Oh, thanks, I didn't know. :)

The thing is, there are no H100i at my local store, and I wont do any OC, if I do, I will, but slightly.
 
Build looks great just a side note, if you don't have the monitor already try to get one with gsync. I just bought a freesync monitor cuz i'm running amd and it's just amazing how it makes low fps look as smooth as 60+. Would definitely benefit a 4k gaming rig immensly.
 


Nah, I only have 4000$ to spend. And those Xeons cost half of my build.

 


*only* $4000. but yea they can be pricey. you could possibly build a dual socket machine that is a bit faster and the same price but that would require tweaking most of your build

I understand it sounds as though your resources are limited, selection wise. This would be the money perspective.

- If your purpose is purely/mostly gaming then for dual cards the 5820K would be the better option for appropriate lanes without going too far overkill for gaming. Throwing 1K into a processor now isn't going to buy you it's money worth in gaming performance/future proofing.
- Better cooling option at least where AIO's are concerned.
- I wouldn't pay over $100 more for a motherboard which only benefit it has over the one I selected is on board wifi.
- Single kit of better/cheaper memory. Though without knowing your tasks aside from gaming I can't rightfully suggest downgrading here.
- 1TB SSD boot drive option being cheaper than all the individual drives. Cleaner, consolidate your risk of failure.
- Didn't change the HDD. Is this going to double as a NAS?
- Didn't change the case as that's an aesthetic driven personal choice. Though given the budget, maybe a less cheapo option? Kind of like serving an awesome steak on a paper plate.
- Slightly cheaper, very similar quality power supply with the biggest difference being semi-modular cabling over fully modular, which might be an issue for you.
- Just a better cooling

*Edit*

My main point being. I'd rather spend $3300-3400 now and retain some budget that may have otherwise been spent unnecessarily, and retain it for a future build/upgrade some years from now. Unless you're into content creation or some crazy figure crunching tasks, or utilize a plethora of virtual machines, a lot of aspects of this tower will go wildly unused. For a pure gaming purpose we could save a few bucks.
 
Solution


You don't need to. 2 980Tis are 500W. Then, factor in the rest of the system, and you're looking at maybe 750W draw under worse conditions?

So it might not be a terrible idea to do so, the EVGA 1000W GQ is the way to go.
