Newegg Combo (msi mb,ripjaw ram,6800k cpu) what other part (ps,gtx 1070, case,ssd).. please recommend

[smitty77]

For a first time build, I am thinking of pulling the trigger on newegg combo 2923560,
Included is mobo, ram and cpu. What other components (ps,ssd, hard drive, gtx 1070 card would be harmonious with the combo. Any help is appreciated.

Also want good case window, blue cooling fans and lamptron (spelling?) fan controller. Water cooling may be an option down the road. But, for now..on a semi-tight budget.

-Thanks

X99 for i7 6800K? your main purpose? is it 3D rendering, video editing, gaming?

  ■ Great Newegg combo, I remember couple online reviewers use MSI Gaming Carbon Pro as test bench.
  ■ Judging from 10+1 CPU phase power configuration MSI GCP is a decent OCing companion, F4-3200C16D-32GVK is listed on GCP memory QVL.
  ■ If you plan some OC then you need US$ 90 CPU cooler, realhardwarereviews.com had review three cooler , for non OC you can stick to cooler master hyper 212 evo and add 120mm fan to it, make sure you choose LGA 2011/socket R CPU cooler also the one with 120 mm or 140 mm fan(s) that don't have special fan bracket, so later you just buy another fan without buy fan bracket. Don't forget thermal grease, arctic MX4 has good review.
  ■ Difference between 80+ efficiency to non 80+ is power drawing from your home power cord, johnnyguru.com has several PSU reviews for you, with 6800K + GTX 1070 you'll need 550 watt gold rate such as EVGA 550 G2. Investing in expensive PSU is never overkill. Size of PSU will determine your case option, next...

  ■ At least one voltage stabilizer, if you love your build, good 1000VA UPS is mandatory.

If you work on large multimedia files, having fast M.2 drive such as Samsung 950 PRO significantly speedup your work, for gaming you can keep your old HDD.

• 
  ■ With GTX 1070 you'll have luxury of CUDA computing, CUDA base render engine such as octane and furryball, hardware accelerated Adobe mercury playback engine, etc use specific nVidia gaming card. Other advantage is you can play latest titles up to 2K QHD 1440p monitor at highest image quality setting (all AA, MSAA, AF @max preset). Or buy identical (if still available) monitor to your currently in use and use multi monitor setup.

Thank you very much. I work in programming, and just want a very fast build that will also support 2K and 4K monitors.
