I could really use some help building my dream rig please. Given that current gen GPUs struggle to push 4k or multi screen 1440, I am taking a two step approach.
Stage 1: purchasing all long term components and a temporary graphics card/s pushing a single 27" ROG Swift
Stage 2: (Expected around Q3/Q4 2014): upgrade to multiple next gen water cooled Maxwell cards to push a big 4k screen or 3 x ROG Swifts in Nvidea Surround
Here is my proposed spec of the stage 1 build so far:
CPU - 4930k
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 2400 4x4gb
Motherboard - Asus Rampage Black Edition
GPUs - R9 290x (possibly 2) - I want to play BF4, Titan Fall and Elder scrolls maxed out on a single ROG Swift
HD - Samsung Pro series ssd 512gb
PSU - EVGA Super Nova 1300w gold
Case - Corsair 900D
Cooling - Help Please
As a novice using the 900D case, I wanted to build a basic yet good looking and reliable liquid cooled system.
Here is what I am probably going with:
1 x Switech MCP35Xc Dual Industrial Pump
2 x Alphacool NexXxos St30 480mm Quad Radiator: Full Copper
20 x Corsair SP120 Quiet Series Fans for £10 each (half the price Gentle Typhoons)
Koolance 380i CPU Block
14 x XSPC 1/4" Thread Compression Fitting for 3/8" ID - 1/2" OD Tubing : Black Chrome
20ft of Primochill PrimoFlex Advanced LRT 1/2" ID - 3/4" OD (13-19mm) Tubing - Bloodshed Red
1 x Mayhems 10ml Dropper Bottle : Biocide Extreme
1 x Mayhems Fine 99.999% Silver Kill Coil
Any thoughts?
