Custom rig components test, should this work?

[matthijsv98]

Okay, I just want to make a list of components to make sure if it is right or not. Can you guys check with me if I'm missing something? List is:

-CPU: Intel i5 6600K (Socket 1151)
-CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120V 86.2 CFM Liquid
-Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 ATX LGA1151
-GPU: (2x) MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V (2-Way SLI)
-GPU SLI Bridge: MSI Gaming SLI Bridge (2-Way)
-RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws 4 series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400Mhz
-HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM
-PSU: EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX
-Case: Zalman Z11 Plus HF1
-Network: TP-Link TL-WN823N 802.11b/g/n USB 2.0 Wi-Fi Adapter

I know some of you like to watch a rig and see if it should work and I have to know if this should work, because I'm about to buy this rig, so there you go

Thanks in advance!

Well the 1st thing that I noticed is the power supply. For two GTX 970 in SLI 700w is recommended for the power supply. The motherboard comes with its own SLI bridge so I don't think you need to purchase one. I would also recommend getting a 250-256GB SSD as a boot drive, and to store programs & games for fast loading. That motherboard should have 1-2 M.2 ports on it if you want to go M.2 which is good if the board supports M.2 NVMe models.

Maybe this power supply would be a good option to consider:

I'm sorry, what are M.2 slots?
I don't need a SSD, but I will change my PSU, thanks

M.2 is one of the new types of SSDs. They can add more speed to a system then your typical Sata 3 drives. Your regular SATA 3 hard drive boots up into windows in what 2-3mintues? An SSD will boot up Windows in about 10-15 seconds. Your SATA3 drives has a peak transfer rate of 6GB/s. If you have a M.2 NVMe version you can assign PCI-e lanes to it. Each lane is about 8GB/s so if you assigned 2 lanes to your M.2 SSD its peak transfer rate you be 16GB/s see the difference? Of course there are M.2 SATA3 versions too which will have the same 6GB/s peak transfer as you hard drive. But SSD have no moving parts your not waiting the the plater to spin around to the head so the performance on reading and writing is much much faster.

So, I have also a YouTube channel where I render video's a lot. Is it recommended to install the render program on the SSD to make it render much faster? If so, I will try to use 1 TB and 250 GB SSD instead of 2 TB with nothing. You helped a lot, thank you

Actual render time will not change but load times will drastically. Try to make sure you get the nvme version for the m.2 slot. it is far faster. read speeds are 2200mbs while the ssd version is protocol limited to 550mbs or so. Signaling speed is far higher but the data rate is actually what i just wrote. You can see a major difference on speed. By the way write speed us usually around 900mbs on the nvme also compared to 350mbs or so for the sata ssd. You will absolutely see the difference. Something like this would serve you very well, http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-950-PRO-Internal-MZ-V5P256BW/dp/B015SOI392/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1461718299&sr=8-1&keywords=nvme+m.2

The Samsung 950 Pro is a BEAST, lol! I hope to see the 1 TB version out later this year.
