I`m building quite an expensive PC (yes 10k build)...

[tiny voices]

Seagate has no issues. That is a myth, sorry.

GEt two 3tb drives. Western Digital black or blue if you have some beef with Seagate.

 

[KaozVirtus]

So Seagate doesn't have high drive failure?

 

[tiny voices]

Nope. There was only one "real" test done to check WD vs. Seagate and it was found to be flawed in basically every way and discredited. I use Seagate drives in all my machines with no problems.

Funny enough, the only drive I have ever had fail was a WD.

 

[KaozVirtus]

Oh cause I have had a 3tb external drive and a 2tb drive fail on me (both external)

I am just gonna play along and build you an expensive PC because you can

I still honestly don't believe this is a serious thread, but I'm here top help.

 

[KaozVirtus]

Add whatever cooler you want and storage, get WD Red or something. Any other advice from the experts here is appreciated, I am not that good but these seem like nice choices.

 

[tiny voices]

YEah, it is pointless and a waste of money. Get a 1000w unit at most for dual 980s.

 

[KaozVirtus]

Believe me. I'm not doing a random thread. I'm actually trying to build this thing.

 

[tiny voices]

Then take our advice and set up a new list with everything you have learned and we will go from there.

^ still wasting a TON of money.

Quite aware of it. I was just indulging the OP since he really doesn't mind spending the money. It is definitely a waste of money but the best-in-class items.


@OP
If you can tell us exactly what you're going to use your computer from most important to least important, we can help you better.

 

[KaozVirtus]

Lots of gaming, running it 24/7, rendering, computer programming, Netflix, internet, downloading movies, game recording,

 

[tiny voices]

What programs will you be using for rendering and programming? You DO NOT need a 1000 dollar i7. A normal x99 CPU will be plenty and even a Z97 i7 would be too.

 

[KaozVirtus]

4k rendering sony vegas pro

 

[bsod1]

Lots of gaming, running it 24/7, rendering, computer programming, Netflix, internet, downloading movies, game recording,

the build i suggested will give you the best performance BUT as tiny voices pointed out, it is also a waste of lots of money. I'll build you something more reasonable. Give me a bit.

 

[KaozVirtus]

my mistake, I thought that I was including 4k in my monitor resolution...sorry

ok, cant wait to see!

 

[tiny voices]

So are you going to get a 4k monitor or edit at 1080p?

 

[KaozVirtus]

yes... and sorry for not mentioning it earlier, as I thought that I did

 

[tiny voices]

YEs for what? YEs for 1080p or yes for 4K?

You need to be more specific.

 

[KaozVirtus]

4k

 

[tiny voices]

And you are getting two 980s not titans now correct?
