So I already have 2 GTX 980's g1 gaming
850 RM gold
H80i Liquid cooler
Asus ROG Swift PG278Q 27-Inch WQHD G-SYNC LED Gaming Monitor (1 ) only
i7 4790k
ssd's and hdd's
ram

My current case is this ( http://www.amazon.com/NZXT-PHANTOM-Tower-Black-PHAN-002GR/dp/B004WO17UC/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1450459184&sr=1-2&keywords=nzxt+phantom+full+tower )

and thats about it


Now I'm wanting to get 2 more monitors just not sure if I should get the same as I have or better.

And I want to get a new case because I really don't like the one I have. Was really looking into getting the Corsair 780t , really like it (black one)

And I need to get some cables to go along with my build (black and red build)

And I need some fans to replace with the ones in the liquid cooler and for the case (fans that go along with the build and are silent and good!)

Looking for LED's too

I'm not really sure what I should get too, Suggestions bro's?


And thank you.!

Well not really much better then the monitor you have, at least for gaming. Since the release of the PG279Q (IPS 4ms vs TN 1ms) the price of the original ROG Swift has come down slightly. So you can pick up another pair of those for about $1200-1300.

LED fans are generally not as high quality as standard fans. Corsair SP LED fans are decent choice. If you mean just LED lighting in general, there are kits out there like these:

Cases are a matter of preference, so just go with what you think looks good.

A pair of GTX980 are going to struggle a little with 7680x1440 on some of the latest titles. You might consider an upgrade to a pair of GTX980Ti.

GTX980 = 16 SM units 4GB of memory
GTX980Ti = 22 SM units 6GB of memory
Titan X = 24 SM units and 12GB of memory

Are you really sure that the 980's will suffer with the triple monitor setup?


And I just need some good fans that go well with the setup , they don't have to be LED's

But I do need an LED strip or something.

And what else do you think I'll need, I just have this money that I want to spend on having a computer that I might marry.

And I'll be choosing the corsair 780t the black one, I'm not sure which size fans and how many it needs! :S

Maybe not for Runescape, but other games potentially. I have dual 980s and a single PG279Q, and while I can run everything there are certainly some limitations. Just depends on what you are expecting out it. Pushing three times the load you may not see anywhere near the frame rate you are getting now. On newer titles the 4GB VRAM might also start to become a problem.

I'm pretty well satisfied with Ultra settings and seeing above 90FPS or so on everything I currently play.

I am a fan of the Corsair SP performance edition fans that are non-LED. They come with sets of colored rings and can be swapped to a nice black/red color.


Maximum GPU Length: 355mm
Maximum CPU Cooler Height: 200mm
Maximum PSU Length: 260mm
Radiator Mount Locations:
Front: 360mm or 280mm
Top: 360mm or 280mm
Bottom: 240mm
Rear: 140mm



Fan Mount Locations:
Front: 3 x 120mm or 2 x 140mm
Top: 3 x120mm or 2 x 140mm
Bottom: 2 x 120mm (HDD Cage Removed)
Rear: 1 x 120/140mm

Well, you have two logical choices. With your h80i, you'll want to mount that on the rear exhaust for convenience to the CPU. So that leaves the bottom and the top which both accept either 3 120mm fans or 2 140mm fans. Personally I would opt for 4 140mm and 2-4 120mm fans. (2 for the CPU radiator, and one or two for the bottom potentially.

You could potentially top-mount the h80i, but from personal experience I can tell you that with the very thick radiator you may run into clearance issues.

Since I already have 1 144hz monitor I thought I'll get 2 1080p moitors next to the main one.

What do you think? ..

Personally I would want matching screens or at least resolution. I understand there may be difficulties spanning across G-sync and non Gsync displays, and particularly when you mix 60hz and 144Hz panels across display port and HDMI. There are some Acer 144Hz G-sync 1080p displays for about $350 if I recall correctly.

Might have to make another thread about that to see if someone out there is messing with odd configurations.

At the moment I only have a spare 1080p 60hz display and only one display port cable, so I can't really experiment too much. Don't even want to try hooking up my 4K TV via HDMI, that would just complicate things. (Also pretty sure it would have to default to 30hz if I add another display to that, there was another thread about that)

EK Vardar or Gentle Typhoon 120mm in push-pull.

If you want Noctua fans then get them. The fans I specified are my personal preference. I don't like the look of Noctua fans.

You look like you have a lot of money to spend on a build so why not go push-pull?

If you want a silent PC then running a push-pull configuration means you can run your fans at lower speeds, and therefore quieter, and have the same, or even better, cooling efficiency.
