Out of the market for a while, need suggestion

[Jobba]

Hi guys,
I have been out of the market for a while, and now I wanna do a gaming pc that will last for some time without problem.
I was thinking something like this

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-5820K Processor (15M Cache, up to 3.60 GHz)
CPU Cooler: to define
Motherboard: ASRock Z97 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: to define
Storage: SAMSUNG 850 Evo 2.5" Internal SSD - 120 GB +*Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card:ASUS POSEIDON-GTX980-P-4GD5 GeForce GTX 980 ( for future water cooling )
Case: to define
Power Supply: Rosewill Capstone 750W 80+ Gold Certified ATX Power Supply

What do you think?
any advice will be accepted!
Thanks and compliment for the site and the community =)

Hi, For that CPU you need a X99 board and DDR4 memory.

 

[James Mason]

the 5820k isn't compatiable with the z97 chipset, you'd need an X99 board to use it, it's also retardedly overkill for gaming. This i5 is the ideal gaming processor. 8Gbs of memory will be fine for just gaming, get 16 if you're going to stream/record it as well.
Seagates have a kind high failure rate. This is a slightly higher tier PSU. Case is mostly personal choice, but this one will make it easier to get the custom water cooling setup you'd need for that GPU. Gpu in build is just a place holder.

No, no no no. That won't work. i7-5820K won't fit in LGA1150, it needs Socket 2011-3.

Get a Haswell-R chip such as i5-4690K or i7-4790K instead of the 5820K, or change the motherboard to a 2011-3 board, such as GA-X99-UD4. In changing motherboards you will also need 288-pin DDR4 SDRAM.

If you are not using 3 or more GFX cards, the X99 platform offers you little in the way of gaming. The 5820k is actually slower than the Devils Canyon CPus in gaming.

I'd do twin 970s for about the same cost and 50% speed increase but if set on the Poseidon, and leaving room to add another at some point ...

[Jobba]

thanks for all the answer!
I didn't considered the double gtx970,but because my idea is to add one day another 980, liquid cooled also that one.
Ok, for the cpu I ll go with the i5-4690k or i7-4790k.
for the PSU, the one that you suggested will be able also to control the liquid cooling system ?

Last question,
actually I am in London, if I buy the component from USA do you think it will be cheaper?

Thanks all for the disponibility!

 

[James Mason]

Shoulda said you were in the UK first, doesn't change much though.
I don't think PSUs "control" liquid cooling setups, but it will provide enough power for one.

can I just ask, there is a big differnce between ddr3 and ddr4?
should I look for taking or has no sense?

There's a big difference. DDR3 memory won't fit in a DDR4 slot, and DDR4 memory won't fit in a DDR3 slot. The main difference in the number of pins (240 vs 288). They are physically different sizes. If you're getting a DDR3 motherboard, make sure you're buying DDR3 memory. Same goes for DDR4.

 

[Jobba]

Guys, you are really helping me a lot, and I'm really thankful to you all!
I bought the motherboard ( z97) and the proc ( found a very good offer for an i7-4790k at 200 pounds )
The Big investment will be the graphic card, do you think that the matrix 980 is good, or some other models ( considering that after my purpose is to put all under liquid cooling )?

 

[James Mason]

The matrix 980 was just a placeholder because PCpartpicker doesn't list the poseidon, probably because you HAVE to have a custom water cooling setup to run the poseidon and PCpartpicker doesn't really do custom watercooling, it's just too complicated.

 

[Jobba]

sorry for the late but I has been quite busy.
Sooo.... can I ask something about the ram?
I was rading that the best ram for a 980 is 12 GB, is it true?
And also, there is an effective difference between 1600 and 1866?

 

[James Mason]

"If" 12 GBs of system ram is "best" for a 980, then get a 16 kit because getting 12 can cause issues. If you're confusing system ram with video ram, then they must be talking about a Titan X which has 12GBs of Vram.
Outside of benchmarking and maybe the time it takes you to encode a video you won't see much difference between ram speeds at that level.
Sometimes the price difference is only a dollar or a few cents though, so might as well get the faster kit:
