Gaming Build Opinions

[stl522013]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/QWrDRB What are you guys's opinions on this build? A motherboard and case is needed, and yes the storage seems overkill but a lot is needed. And the budget is $1000. Thanks. Is the SSD and HDDS good quality?

3TB Seagates have reported to be failing a lot, so taking two of them is asking for problems maybe.

Your already over budget on just the parts you have listed and you still need a case, motherboard, and a good power supply the G1 series is not what to buy.
Why do you need 6TB of storage for a gaming PC?????

for the HDD storage does it need to be 7200 RPM? If it's just going to hold files 5200 RPM is perfectly fine and a bit cheaper.

I've always been aware of A-data as a bargain bin vendor, they're cheap for a reason. Personally I'd recommend spending the extra money and getting one from Samsung.

Also what are you planing on using the computer for?

Do not buy 3tb hdds especially seagates http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2015/01/why-you-should-buy-4-tb-hard-drives-and-skip-the-3-tb-ones/

Sorry, I made a typo. A motherboard and case is NOT needed.

A case and motherboard is not needed. I made a typo.

 

[okcnaline]

What motherboard and case do you have right now?

 

[stl522013]

MSI Z97-G45 mobo.

 

[stl522013]

I don't need a build. I just wanted opinions. And apparently my PSU is abd so I want to know a good one to change it to.

 

[stl522013]

I just realized I posted the wrong link. I posted the website link not the build link.

 

[stl522013]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2RjZbv What is a good PSU for this build? And yes, I realize that it will go a little over $1000.

 

[okcnaline]

I don't know why you need so much storage. 3TB is a lot, unless you're Linus Sebastian or a Ubisoft Montréal employee, in which you regularly have >40TB of space in which most of it is used.

The R9 390 is hot. Unless you have a 2K monitor right now just go with a GTX 970. Same with the CPU; you don't need 8 threads unless you're video editing.

I would suggest a EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750W to accomodate everything.

My friend is going to be recording so that is why I picked the Xeon so he can render the videos. And he is also going to stream. And he has like 200+ games to put on there. And the 390 only runs 3° C hotter than a 970 at full load.
