Hello Everyone, this is my first post. I have been a long time reader, but I am looking to take on my first actual build. I have helped my brother with 1-2 builds in the past, but honestly had little to do with actually getting things done. Rather than ask him to spoon feed me again on this, I am looking forward to attempting to put this box together myself. I have been doing a bunch of research and I think I have a good core down in terms of my bits and pieces but I figured it's a safe bet to run this sort of thing past the community, and see if anyone spots any red flags...
I think for my real use case it's going to be a bit overkill... but I am ok with that.
I am hoping that this box will last me a pretty long time without needing any serious updates.
My budget is between 2-3k... I would like to stick around 2500-2750 range if possible.
The main goals are to be able to edit 4k video projects in Adobe Premiere and get some solid gaming done. I also will eventually be trying some streaming stuff, but that's more for fun, and to try some stuff out...
Case: $99.99
NZXT S340VR Elite Case in Matte Black
Motherboard: $279.99
MSI Computer X99A Gaming Pro Carbon ATX Motherboard
Chip: $388.00
Intel Core i7-6800k Processor (15M Cache, up to 3.60 Ghz) FC-LGA14A
RAM: $339.88
G.Skill TridentZ RGB Series 32GB (4x8GB) DDR4 3000MHz DIMM
GPU: $749.99
Gigabyte Aorus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Xtreme Edition 11GB
PSU: $129.47
EVGA SuperNOVA 850w G3 80 Plus Gold Fully Modular
SSD: $149.99
Crucial MX300 525GB M.2
For CPU Cooling: $159.99
NZXT Kraken X6 AIO CPU Liquid Cooling system
For Case Cooling and also RGB LED Control: $89.99
NZXT HUE+ Controller with 2x Aer RGB 140mm Fans
(going to use the 140's on the front of the Kraken)
Exhaust Fans: $59.98
2x NZXT Aer RGB 120mm
Additional lighting: $20.99
NZXT HUE+ Extension LED Strips
I don't have any optical drive... and not sure I need it...
I figure with this build, I can bump up another 32GB of RAM in the future, or even throw another 1080 in down the line if I think I really need too but I really think it would be way more then I ever need.
I don't need a lot of internal storage on this box, because I have 20TB worth of storage on Red's inside an Asustor AS6204T NAS on my network. That's where I will store the majority of my stuff.
