im not ashamed to say i dont know much about computers, but have decided i want a gaming rig. so ive set off out with my monthly budget and bought what i could afford each month. now i know i am too clumsy and not smart enough to build it myself, so i have enlisted a friend to build it then set it up for me, so my questions are this. have i got enough power from my power supply to run this. and secondly will this computer work, and work well? I mostly use it for gaming and photoshop for my photography., i have had to remove some stuff as i lost my job, mainly 2 more 6tb hardrives, 1 more 1tb ssd and watercooling on my graphics cards, which i will be buying slowly.

Do you really need such a expensive motherboard? the CPU I would go with 5820k overclocked will do well.

I think you could save money on the motherboard, the RAM and the 6TB WD Green Drive. And I never heard of Be Quiet as a PSU brand. But you don't really need a 1200 watt PSU. 800W would be plenty and I would recommend going with a quality, reputable brand like Seasonic, Corsair, EVGA or XFS. Looks like you are intending to do video editing but even so, 16gb of RAM should be enough. Do you really need two SSD drives and do you really need a 6TB spinner for storage and waste? I"m thinking a 3 or 4 TB drive would be enough.

hi i already bought the stuff, mys question more was if i would have enough power and wether the pieces would work together.

Be Quiet! is a german firm, linus from tech tips loves them

i do video and photo editing, i fill about 1tb of memory a month in photos alone. as when i do a photo, i keep the RAW image, a PSD a Large jpg, and a small jpg. so i go through a lot.

its also for gaming.

the secondary one is for a backup operating system the other is for the OS and games

 

[wingman99]

The CPU needs to be a 5960x for that motherboard? All the items you picked out will work together.

 

[darkdude]

thanks guys and wingman, i just wanted to splash out. its rare i get something thats top quality, normally get cheap second hand stuff so i saved up and got this luckily i know someone with nimbler hands and better eyesight than me it will look nice sitting next to my 8 year old canon 5D "betty"

and this to me is an overkill machine. but thank you everyone for your input its all been most appreciated and welcome

 

[Joe88]

this is extreme overkill for your needs
just get a single 980ti, a 5820k or 5930k (if you want those extra pci-e lanes), asrock x99 extreme4 instead of the overpriced asus board

you can put the saved money into buying a new camera or lenses

 

[trents]

darkdude, you need to get this camera if you are going to do this right:

Exactly.

I understand you want the best, but, its not going to get you anywhere except having a lighter wallet. As was said above, a 5820K/5930K are PLENTY. You do not and presumably will not extreme cool so there is no need for that ASUS board at all.

i know, i knew it when i bought all the stuff. at the time i had the money. and ive looked at liquid nitrogen cooling. my dad used to be a plumber and engineer, so that isnt beyond the realm of possibility in the future. but i know its a big drain on the wallet. but yeah if it can do everything. its good. my friend is goingto overclock it for me slightly.

 

[Dlaw]

All I can say is OH.MY.GAWD. I wish I could lose my job and still afford a system like that.
