Future Build Help - Monster Of A Machine.

[TristonTawney]

Hello, I wanted help on a future build. I wanted to future proof this for as long as possible, so I want to some time in the future have an SLI configuration of Titan Xs, what PSU upgrade might I need, and any recommendations on a CPU upgrade, trying to make this last as long as possible.

Build:

Thank you.

- SLI isn't really recommended. if you're currently satisfied with the performance of one 1080, it's mostly better (and cheaper) to just get a new card when you're not anymore
- a 850W PSU can handle any kind of SLI setup though
- I don't see a SSD in that build yet
- time will tell if a CPU upgrade is necessary. right now that i7 handles everything you throw at him

Can you recommend me an SSD? Just need it to run the OS.

 

[Isokolon]

Samsung SSDs are pretty neat
depends how much you want to spend on

I have taken some suggestion from all the current post, and have updated the list. Please check out the current build, and offer any suggestion you want, Ill take all suggestion into consideration ( please note this is not built this is what is going to be built.

 

[Isokolon]

oh it's what is to be build. I though you already got it and were asking about upgrades.
in that case...

- you'll need a nice Z270 board. ASRock Fatal1ty / Asus Strix / Gigabyte Gaming 5(or higher) if you're looking to overclock and get the most out of your system
- instead of the G2 I'd go with the G3. improved platform.
- for my taste that case is overpriced for what it has to offer

 

[TristonTawney]

When you are talking about the G2 are you talking about the PSU if so I cant really see the difference between G2 and G3. Any further insight? Also would love a board suggestion.

I would suggest waiting for the custom 1080tis to be released and buying one of those instead of Titan X.

 

[TristonTawney]

Was thinking about it tbh, just wanted something with a closed loop liquid cooling ( bit less hassle). Also I updated the list again with a few new parts.

 

[Lucky_SLS]

the msi gtx 1080ti seahawk is gonna release soon

 

[TristonTawney]

Thanks you.

Just re-added it, some how I will be saving 500 dollars 0.o.

Still taking any suggestion btw.
