Case and PSU for 295x2 crossfire

[legolad]

Hello, could you please recommend a case for 2x 295x2? The CPU is also liquid cooled with Corsair Hydro Series H110i GT.

With the CPU being the 5930k, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, and an SSD, which PSU would you recommend?

Thanks!

You're gonna need atleast 2000W PSU.

Hi - RealhardtechX recommends 1600w for that setup. Like most, they build in a little headroom. So,
your choices are three EVGA units all built by Superflower. Gold, Platinum, Titanium,
$380 - $430. Best valu being the Platinum @ $380:

Cases are very personal in nature because of looks basically. I suggest a full tower from
Phanteks, Corsair, Coolermaster, & Silverstone. Decide on your budget first, then narrow
by features and aesthetics.

Thanks for the great answer! I asked about the case because the GPUs have their own watercooled loop so I think I need to replace the 120mm at the end of the case but I don't know which cases have 2 such fans in the back to remove.

Hi again - my guess (maybe get another opinion from the systems forum) is that you will leave rear case fans
intact and not remove them. There will be more heat inside the case than that disappaited by the liquid
cooling. And the rear fan(s) are exhaust. With that setup you are going to need plenty of exhaust.

I'm running a 295x2 have been for quite awhile...

Cases are definitely a very personal depending on you space available and personal preferences. As long as you can mount the cooler you should be ok. I prefer larger ones generally as there's room for upgrades and room to mount cooler hoses.
As far as power supplies, you'll need about 1000w minimal and get a quality one. There are some great options out there Antec, Corsair, and EVGA. For two of these cards you'll need at least 1500 watt quality power supply.

I'm running a Corsair 800D case and Corsair AX1200i, my system during gaming at 1440p averages between 650 to 700 draw.
