any tips about the build?looks perfect for me


 


Hey sry for the incovience
its just when you have 5 options for a memory you get lost
i will go with the 1866MHz, 9-10-11, 1.5V

thanks for helping me out : )
 


______________

If referring to 2133/11 vs 1600/9 the 2133/11 is the better of the two , it has greater bandwidth, and if it were downclocked to 1600 it would run at the same 1600/9...in reverse if you OC 1600/9 to the higher bandwidth of 2133 you would prob have to run at 2133/12......1600/9 is basically entry level DRAM these days
 

lol i know its dumb because no 1 can tell the difference but ill take the 2133/1866 depends how big the price difference is


thanks : )

i dont think i need anything else for the rig...perfect CPU/BOARD combo
case is exactly what im looking for in terms of size/look/inside build
for cooling i think the im also good to go 3intakes in front + 1 exahust on the back + the CPU Cooler NH-D15
PSU amazing fan - flat cables - and will be strong enough if i decide to go SLI in a year or two
for GPU 980TI best card for my needs. just need to find one that is not a reference cooler
ssd samsung 850evo - seems like the best ssd for the price

the only thing that stop me from getting the computer parts now is the lack of PG278Q/PG279Q in my country...

i dont care if its the TN or IPS module but it will pointless to get the rig without the monitor...
 


Haha :) i know that store m8 but the truth is i get a friend who can give me better prices directly from the importer
so if i want a much better price for that monitor/GPU i need to wait the importers bring them in stock and thats what hold me off
Plonter store just offers those for pre order and it will be around 2 weeks until you get one


i must ask something that really bugs me. i know that build i've done is pretty awesome and should be amazing for my 2K gaming

but do you think it can hold 4-5years easy?
im reading alot about people in the same place as me and they go with the X99 which is more expansive but might last much more...

what do you think ?
 
That will depend on how demanding you are in therms of image quality, if you want to play at max settings with 60fps average, the answer is no, if you don't mid playing at mid or low setting, with 40 fps, the answer is yes, it will even last for 10 years.
 


well 40 fps might not be enough ... the reason im going with the 980TI and GSYNC monitor in 2K resolution is because i want to avoid fps drops screen tearing...

to be honest...i can get a titan X instead but that would be so pointless right?

what should i do if i want 60fps average instead of 40fps? because im going to invest alot in that rig and i want to be quiet for atleast 4-5years... and if it means PAYING MORE then i can do it...

 
buy this build and in a few years, when you feel the need you can either get a second GTX 980 Ti or sell the yours and buy a new one.

I dont think there is nothing you can do right now that will allow you to play at max settings/60fps in games that will be release in 5 or 6 years.
 

ohhh its the GPU i forgot about 😀
the reason im taking that 850W PSU is incase id like to add anothe 980TI : )
so everything is fine and i can handle all games pretty gr8 : ) until i feel the need for more power i can add more 980ti
 
Im not going nuts with the cpu OC
All i want is stable 4.5ghz which should be super easy with that build
so 850 would be good wven in 980ti sli..
i want to save some money 😛 aswell
