I am planning on playing games and streaming/recording at 4k with this rig. My budget is around 3800 USD. I dont mind spending a little extra for performance or aesthetics.
This is what I have in mind so far, any suggestions would be appreciated.
GPU- GTX1080 X2 SLI
GPU Cooling: Custom water loop 480mmrad with 4X120MM fans
CPU-Very unsure. 6700k Seems nice but would having multiple cores on a 5960X help with streaming and recording? Theres 6700, 6800, 6850,
6900, lots of ways to blow up the budget and I dont know if some are worth it or not.
CPU Cooling: Custom water loop with an additional 480MM Rad and 4X120MM Fans
Motherboard-Depends on the CPU, Id like it to be able to fan control up to 12 fans, but most "Deluxe" boards I see only support up to 7 ot 8 fans assuming they have fan control support.
Might have to buy my own fan controller. Minimum 8 backplate USBS.
PSU: I did an estimate for a PSU on cooler master calculator and it came out to 700W with 2 1080s, a 6700k and 2 CPU all in one coolers (to emulate duel pumps), I was thinking of going with a 1200W platinum cooler, possibly be quiet or corsair.
Case: Something that fits 2X 480MM Rads and 2 D5 Pump/Reservoirs and preferably with tempered glass side panel. I think the Cosmos 2 is decent but its outdated and no stock side panel window is kind of crappy, I considered the corsair 900D but I have seen better looking cases from computex videos and I cant decide.
Memory: 16GB Minimum, considering 32 GB But not sure if its necessary.
Storage: PCI-E SSD Intel 400GB with 2 Current Samsung SSD backups and possibly considering putting in my old velociraptor 10k HDDs in as well.
