New System Build - Comments Please

[kmr1631]

I am looking to have a new computer built within the next few months. I have a GTX 1080 in there now however I will wait until some of the aftermarket boards start to come out or even the 1080ti. I am looking to build this by the end of the summer depending on prices on the Video Cards, I don't need it badly enough that I am willing to get price gouged.

The use for this computer will be for gaming / making videos / recording game play / and possibly streaming at some point. I went with the 5820k for this reason as from what i have read it will allow me to run more tasks at once. I also will plan in the future to add a second video board to run two in SLI if the need arises. I will be running this on a 27" 4k monitor. One thing I had read about the NZXT case is that people were buying aftermarket fans, is this necessary?

I like it, however, you might be better off waiting on other GTX 1080 options. The Founders edition gives you almost nothing for the markup you pay.

Looks good! Can't comment on the case, but people tend to like a lot of fans whether they are needed or not. You can check your temps and add fans later if necessary.
