building extreme new computer * pics added 4/29/13*


Recommended Posts

Heat isnt too much of an issue unless you're overclocking the balls off your cpu.

Just get a Noctua NH-D14, will be fine up to about 4.8ghz easily.

Thermalright Silver arrow SB-E, out does the NH-D14 xD

OP, if you are not gonna water cool, i would not recommend that case. The case is made for water cooling and it is a f*cking monster, way huge. If you go with air cooling, ide go with http://www.corsair.com/us/pc-cases/graphite-series-pc-case/graphite-series-600t-silver-mid-tower-case.html

Here's what I'd do:

Thermaltake Chaser MK-I (VN300M1W2N) Black SECC ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST3000DM001 3TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL7Q-16GBZM

Thermaltake CLW0217 Water 2.0 Extreme/All-In-One Liquid Cooling System

Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition Sandy Bridge-E 3.5GHz (4.0GHz Turbo) LGA 2011 150W Six-Core Desktop Processor BX80619i73970X & MSI Big Bang-XPower II LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 XL ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS Combo

OCZ Vector Series VTR1-25SAT3-128G 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC

Thermaltake Toughpower XT TPX-1275M 1275W ATX 12V 2.3 & SSI EPS 12V 2.92 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified ...

$2,424.92

Best Intel CPU, pretty much the best LGA2011 Mobo (allows for quad-sli!) Easy to work with CPU watercooler and a case designed to easily mount it, your PSU will be able to handle anything you can throw at it including quadsli/crossfire of the top cards.

I would get a better card than the 580 though, if you're getting the rest of the computer this awesome. Something like EVGA 02G-P4-2680-KR GeForce GTX 680 (total = $2,878.84) and then you can get up to 3 more cards (for 4-way sli) in the future, or the 680s successor (two 680s on one card) EVGA 04G-P4-2690-KR GeForce GTX 690 (total = $3,424.91)and than you can get a second one later if you want for 4-way sli.

*New vehicle and system coming soon.*

If your going to be doing water cooling, you need to be over clocking, other wise there is no point lol

I'd like to stay away from the 600 series cards cause of some of the issues they are having with games ( including one i play). if and when they come out with a 700 series card, id most likely switch then.

I haven't heard of that, but if that's the case I'd stick with the one 580 for now and save the money you woulda spent on a second or more 580 for when the 700 series comes out.
