Heey guys,

I'm fairly New to this site. But i have been following and using it the last week. To check and know what to do.
But i have this build here i've been thinking about it a week. This is also the first pc i Will ever build. And have never searched anything about building pc. After watching al lot of diy videos and researching this site i Come with this question
Offcourse i aiming to make a beast station and would like to know youre opinions.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/FFs39W

I have been picking these parts myself last week and only just know checked it is compatible with each other. But i would like to know an experts opinion and would like to know if this rig gets
1080P or higher (4k) at 144Hz. Dual monitor also :)
This site has been very helpful in searching al my questions (like quadchannel, ram frequentie, cores, wich MOBO, etc...)
If someone has a better tip or parts please Let me know!
Thanks in advance!

Ps. Sorry for the writing but english isn't my native language :)

Also don't worry about the storage i selected a M.2 Ssd chip. Only for the os en important stuff. All the rest Will be put on a 1Tb ssd. But i just didn't add that part yet to begin with :)

This wil be mainly used for gaming.
There really aint a budget. I came with the pricetag of almost 2500Euros.
Since i'm taking my time with this build and it doesn't need to be comoleted immedeatly. Case and psu i already have. Psu is 650watts with 80+ silver tag. Seller told me it should be enough, my case is an atx case but relatively big one with enough space to work in.
I also have an optical drive laying here a simple blu Ray reader/writer but not that i Will be using it that much just for os/software installs.
The os doesn't need to be included in the budget.
The retailer i got here is alternate, wich is the official retailer for nvidia in my country, ow i live in belgium btw 😀

Well nice things cost money right? 😛
And once you buy quality, you only cry once.
And that is when you see the price tag.
I have saved for almost a year. And lets say that the 2500euro is my budget then. 😀 i doesn't need to have 2 graphics cards and the top notch processor.
If i can play at a nice framerate with almost everything on ultra/high. Then its ok. I like to play BF1, for honor, overwatch,BF4, Gta5, etc... Games that take some power right? or am i wrong? 😀

If you are using that PSU from previous build then don't use it. But if you bought it new from a retailer return it and get it replaced by the above PSU. Majority of Silver rated PSUs are of tier 3 or 4 which is not good. 650W is not sufficient at all for that setup. The above listed 1000W PSU is good to provide enough headroom if you add second for GPU for SLI in future. If you don't wanna add second GPU in future go for minimum of 750W PSU check the two PSUs listed below.
Power Supply: Corsair 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (€137.84 @ Mindfactory)
Power Supply: Corsair 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (€152.84 @ Mindfactory)

That GPU will be out in a month.

Hope the case you have is of good quality.

That build is stupidly over the top and extremely poor value...
Also no HDD?
@OP also stated he wanted to buy from Alternate Belgium...

Price point of view it is definitely bad as he could save nearly $100 and get same performance. That list was made based on RGB theme.
He don't need a HDD
I missed the point that he is from Belgium sorry.

Here is the better list with cut in price and Belgium PCP:

OP if you plan on SLI then go for 1000W PSU instead of 750W one listed above.
For dual monitor setup getting SLI will be better that is if you wanna utilize both the monitors for gaming. If you will be only using one monitor for gaming then 1GPU will do fine. Go for 1440p instead of 4K to get smooth gaming experience for long time.

Nope 750W will not be enough for GTX1080Ti SLI + OC. Without OC there is a possibility but still it would be under extreme load which is bad for a PSU. 1000W is recommended.

Why go for SAMSUNG 850EVO over 960EVO. That PSU, this not a low budget build and you shouldn't go cheap on PSU. S12II is not bad but I would go for it only for low budget builds. Besides that 520W with GTX1080Ti is a bad idea even NVIDIA recommends a 600W+ PSU. With OC that PSU will be under extreme load and possibility of failing increases.

Total SYSTEM power consumption under synthetic load = 394w
Add a second 1080ti, and if you're being generous that's at most another 300w adding up to a total of 694w at 100% load.
Here's the card power draw measurements: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-ti,4972-6.html

Add on top of that an OVP of about 80w over the rated wattage with a decent 750w unit and you're set.
You should know by now that Nvidia recommendations for PSUs are set with a high safety net in mind, because they don't want to be held responsible if you purchase a hunk of junk that's rated at a certain wattage, yet still stuffs your card.

Well there is no point in including a HDD as he already has a 1TB SSD or has plan to get one in near future.

Besides that yes he can spend 30 more bucks to get that Gaming X.

But as you see I included Corsair RM1000x and 960EVO and still got the price near €2500. 😀

1.48v you mean?
You'd never get to that voltage, I'm running my 6700k at 4.8GHz on a 1.38v OC.... Even then the maximum possible power draw from each of the GPUs is 325w, that's 650w THEORETICAL total where each card is going around 275w under 100% load, plus 100w-150w from the system.
Add OVP and that's heaps of room, OCing will add 50-100w to stock draw depending on how hard you go into it, but as I said, there's still plenty of headroom.
However an 850w will be more than enough if you want to play it safe when going heavy OCing.

Well don't know how you are calculating but i7-7700K at 1.48GHz at 1.38V is drawing near to 145W and each GTX1080Ti with 2GHz core clock and 1.5GHz memory clock draws 360W which when added gives 145(CPU) + 720(GPU) = 865W and when memory SSDs HDDs and few fans are added the requirement goes up a little.

.... I'm not sure what you mean, the 7700k runs at 4.2GHz-4.5GHz out of the box, where does 1.48GHz come from?
Just look up some power draw measurements for 1080ti SLI if you don't believe me.
Also can I get some statistics sourced for "draws 360W"? You must be using a Zotac Amp Extreme or something as an example that has two 8 pins, because it is physically impossible for a single 8 pin 1080ti to draw that much.
Additionally, I doubt there's a way that it'd draw that much, even on 100% load OC'd.
Fans etc. only add a few watts each, no point taking those into account seriously.
Also OVP.
Just say 750w for stock, 850w for overclocking, simple as that, this is a silly discussion without statistics supporting...
