Building new Gaming rig high end

[cincity]

Ok i have ultra gaming pc right now but am planing to sell it for good price and making new one high end budget about 5k to 6k maybe more without monitor i have asus rog swift currently and 4k tv,

my current pc specs
CPU 3960 I7 extreme edition
Motherboard asus rampage iv Extreme
Sli Titan Hydrocopper + GTX 690 as Physx card
power supply Evga Supernova Nex 1500
Ram 4x8gb = 32gb corsair Dominator 2400MHZ
and i have a good custom loop

------
am planing to go for
CPU Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E
(if you have better options feel free to write them)
Motherboard asus Rampage v extreme edition
(if you have better options feel free to write them)
Sli titan X Superclocked not hydro copper or should i wait for the hydro ?
(if you have better options feel free to write them)
Power supply i have the evga supernova 1500 but am planing to go for Corsair AX1500i Digital ATX
(if you have better options feel free to write them)
as for Ram i was planing to go 32gb or 64gb DDR4 or what you think ?
(if you have better options feel free to write them)
as for water cooling for the cpu am not sure yet to get custom one or stock one
(advice on this one please)

case i have NZXT phantom 820 but its not big enough in the inside but i had custom cooler before so i may not have it in the new build so which one do u think i should get i want cool looking one and big in the inside as well.

Please tell me what you think if u have better builds let me know,

Thanks in advance,

Bye Bye Bank account.

Are you planning on doing a custom loop with this>

OMDG, that's insane.

The Cosmos II or the Obsidian 900d should cover your case needs, I'm particular of the 900d myself as I like brushed aluminium and the sleek yet mature look of the case.

And stick to 32GB of RAM to save you from the latency and seek times. PLEASE

I'd personally look at Caselabs.

The 900D is nice and all but Corsair's RMA service is a four letter word that beggins with S and ends with T. On the other hand however the 900D is good looking and made of high quality material. I would chose the 900D but the bottom windowside door not sitting properly is a common problem. Case Labs produce some great cases.

true that my friend but hey am not going to pay much since am selling my old one for quite good price around 3500$ so i will add up like 2k or 3k more i have my monitor and stuff

and nop maybe for the cpu only not sure maybe i will get stock one.

i was thinking of the cosmos 2 but not sure yet i will check out the 900d

about my rams they would work with Asus rampage v right i mean u could use ddr3 with it no problem ?

maybe i will stick to them not sure and i dont feel there`s a big difference between them and ddr4, correct me if am wrong please.

 

[cincity]

so do you guys think am over doin` it with these specs i mean do u think i could save some $ and change from what i chosen to another cpu maybe or motherboard ? about cpu which better for overall & for gaming i7-5960X or 5930x ?

DDR 3 isn't compatible. Please see my next comment when I upload it on build suggestion

You cannot use DDR3 RAM in DDR4 slots, they work differently and as such keyed differently so they cannot be swapped out.

The Cosmos II will work great if you don't intend on using custom loop, and will support all of your hardware.

 

[cincity]

Ok, how about build suggestions, what needs to be changed from what i mentioned in my build, or what do you guys think..

i really dont want to rush things up and decide yet so am up for suggestions.

 

[cincity]

Any suggestions?, am still up for some builds guys.

A bit under budget but will definitely give some great opportunity to try your hand at water cooling with a complete custom loop. Do to how Physxs are handled with GPU's, it utilizes very minimal amount of additional power to get the whole package, so a dedicated card for it has not been necessary since the 600 series. If you still want a 960 I won't stop you though.

If your going to go all the way, EK's blocks beat the Hydro Coppers every time regardless of the loop configuration, particularly regarding VRM and core cooling. So I would say go with EK rather than waiting.

Okay. If you wanted to go for a custom water loop the Hydro will be for you and you should wait. But untill then all the coolers are SUPER green and will look a little odd so I went with the GTX 980 in Quad SLI. This will most likely edge out the Titan X 2-way SLI for around the same price anyway!

I kind of doubt you will need 4x GTX 980, 3x might even offer better performance. Go with 1 1tb SSD instead of 2 250 gb.

2 SSD's in RAID 0 would work well with the fastest read times and stuff.

You don't need SSD Storage for everything? I have all of my needed stuff on an SSD then other bits on my HDD's and it works perfect.

I know, but considering the price, you mine as well go all in.

Considering the max bandwidth of SATA III controllers would you rather have 2x the capacity on the 1TB SSD or 95Mbit/s faster load times?

 

[-HH-]

eh. 2 500's would likely be the best choice. I just configured what would be good for me personally at that point bar the fact 4 way SLI looks BAD-ASS.
