Hello ladies and gents,

I have recently decided that I want to upgrade my pc. This decision came after multiple issues I have been noticing coming out of my computer, including but not limited to: A buzzing noise from the motherboard, slow boot time, slow SSD/Harddrive accessing times, a bad port of the motherboard, a few broken bits on my case, and insane heat problems even with water cooling.

With issues piling up, I am deciding I just want to start fresh, clean slate ya know? I have been looking at some amazing parts that I can chunk in here after selling off my currents bits, and heres what Im looking at:

ASUS ROG Rampage V Extreme
Corsair 16GB 2666 16GB RAM
EVGA Supernova 1000w 80+ Platinum
Samsung 850 Pro SSD 120GB
*Western Digital 2tb HDD
EVGA GTX Titan X
Intel 5820K 6-core 3.3ghz
*Corsair h100i cpu cooler
*Creative Labs Soundblaster ZX
*2 Asus VG248QE
*LG Blu-ray disc reader
--
*EVGA Torq x10 carbon Mouse
*Cooler MAster CM Storm Trigger z keyboard
*Sennheiser PC 363D headset
*Logitech z553 speakers

* - Denotes an Item I already have

The Build:
Project Jump-Zero

For the parts I do not already have, I am looking at a total of around $2,200. The cost in total will actually be closer to 2,100 due to a discount I receive at my place of employment. (computer parts seller)

What do you friendly people think of this build? It will all be thrown into my NZXT Phantom 820 (or possibly a new case if I find the budget, as myne has both of the rear IO lights out, a broken top panel, and some missing buttons for the light management system. If anyone knows any nice but not too expensive reverse atx cases so the window is on the right side, I would take suggestions!)


As I also mentioned, I would be selling off parts from my pc. IF anyone could give me some estimates as to what the following parts are worth, I would greatly appreciate it. (keep in mind the issues I mentioned earlier.)

EVGA GTX TITAN (I still have the box, and its like new)
Intel DX79SI Extreme motherboard (Annoying buzzing noise coming from somewhere on the board, broken fan port on the bottom left)
Intel 3930k CPU (Nothing wrong with it, just upgrading)
Samsung 840 EVO SSD (Nothing wrong with it, just upgrading)
Corsair HX1000w power supply 80+Platinum (Im not sure why...)

As always, I look forward to the assistance. THW people are always the best.

Best wishes ~

I think it looks pretty cool, depending on what you plan to do with it. Expensive, but good.
I'd look at getting some better screens though and then spending a little less on the CPU and motherboard for instance (because do you really need all that power for games? Do you plan to overclock like mad?)


I'd keep the SSD though, two SSD's why not?
 
I plan on playing a lot of games, including the upcoming AAA Star Citizen. I am also a film student, so the processing power and rendering is a necessity. These monitors are gorgeous. I wouldnt trade em for the world.
 
1st thing, I would not go with a 500$ x99 board. Gigabytes Gaming line and Asus x99 boards are the best. Wasting money really... As for a case, EnthooPro? Looks nice, and has tons of flexibility. Keep the HX1000i, great PSU. You might as well keep the titan as well, unless you are running 4k

Bigger SSD, 256 gigs, and I WOULD drop the h100i, for something like a CoolerMaster neptom 240m, but I would always choose d14/15
 
That board is an ASus x99. I decided im just going to keep my case. If I get a new one, Im going to build one. Im going to sell my titan for a titan x. Its not a big deal really, I will get my x at a discount, and The motherboard and processor come in a bundle where I work where I will save 50$
 
For a case I would recommend the phanteks enthoo pro or enthoo luxe depending on how much you like leds. I have an enthoo pro and I absolutely love it, but I can't say it's quite. For quite I would recommend the define r5, I really like the look of the nzxt h440, but you probably want more space because it is cramped in there. Rest of the build sounds great and it makes my 1,100 pc look like crap, but I would recommend buying some more fans because you obviously have money and silent cases are 100 dollar microwaves. I personally like the af 140 silent editions from Corsair.
 
My current case, the Phantom 820, has 4 200mm fans with 4 140s and a water cooler on the cpu. I may stick with it for now at least. Anyone have any input on what I could sell the old parts for?
 
YOu coul also just get a new mobo and new GPU. The 3930k is still a very capable chip, and does not bring a lot of performance except for the memory. Unless your working with editing programs,

I say

New x79 board, and new gpu. Cheapest, and most logical
 
If you need raw processing and rendering power why you are wasting it with that low amount of RAM? it'll pause the cores while waiting for ram to free up. I'd say at least 3Gb per core, that's 18 + 3 system reserved. So Why not 32Gb in total.
Agreed, the MB is way too expensive for what you plan to do with it, cpu is good choice for rendering, if you don't flush it down the toilet with that silly amount of ram.

SSD's for scratch disks/project/mediacache, for the love of god, you don't want any of that stuff on mechanical drives, you'll go insane! All that CPU/GPU power wasted. Also, where are your redundant disks? I'd not start working on anything unless I knew my data was safe from disk failure.
