Ah, yeah - I missed that.
ramthor's monster build
- Thread starter ramthor
- Start date

No he is putting it in with a view to getting proper titanx Pascal hence mentioning he adds another £100 for proper titan x pascal cost. It's in the OP.
I'd suggest looking at
6 core cpu
32gig of ram - do you want or need 32gig or would 16 gig do fine?
A motherboard that will let you use the m.2 and normal ssd
AIO water setup would be fine too - Corsair or EK's new stuff - Even the OCUK tech labs stuff is good, they do the plumbing and you just fit it.
Case fans and rad fans - get proper fans and remove the stock fans you'll get with an AIO cooler and case fans.
Case - your call what you get - make sure it can fit a rad in the roof
1000 PSU is plenty good for titan sli (later on) and your whole setup.
SSD's - M.2 for OS I presume? and other applications with the larger ssd for the games?
Do you want or need a dvd drive? You can buy a cheapo external drive and load windows 10 off of it, then stick the dvd drive in a drawer.
Win 10 - buy the cheapest version you can get. No point in the pro version if you'll not use the features on it.
Have you though about cabling and getting some proper braided cables? I bought the cablemod cables for my red and black build and it makes the build really pop.
Graphics card - Get a pascal titan as you mentioned. EVGA are doing a watercooled version iirc. Aim to get that and let that baby fly

You forgot the Vive which is almost £800 so you saved me £500. In return my config has newer CPU, more single card raw power, double the RAM at a higher frequency and more drive space. I think it's worth £500 extra.

This......
I had the option of buying the 1000 Watt or the 1200 Watt for my build. I decided to go for the 1200 Watt as its more efficient, and its quiet too.
LMAO
Why has he got a HTC vive in the basket when he said nothing about VR in his essay.

Other than the bit about "virtual reality"..........

lol - my 850w with 2x GTX Titans was quiet
yeah...again, lol but that's my personal opinion on VR, just a gimmick
6850K is a 6 core
32GB for future proofing and video editing
I thought Asus Rampage x99 let's you have m.2 and SATA at the same time?
Not confident enough to get into watercooling just yet.
I checked and Graphite 760T has that option. You can see it even in the pictures on the website.
Again, there is a £20 price difference between 1000W and 1200W so I think it's worth it.
Yes
I might add a Blu-Ray drive later but the difference in price for Windows 10 doesn't come from the fact that it's sold on a USB drive but because it is Pro Retail instead of Home OEM. I might change it for Home but I still want the future proofing of the Retail.
Yes I did and I say a full Corsair kit is about £75. I'll probably get that afterwards when I'm happy with all the hardware and only cosmetic touches are needed.
Will do. I thought Titan X Pascal is only sold by nVidia and it will ever be.
DJI FTW !Aim to get that and let that baby fly

Do you want to do 4k video editing or do you need to do it? What is your job?
Don
The Corsair H115i in your original spec is an AIO Watercooling unit though?
I want to do it as a hobby. My job is a personal thing unrelated to my OP.
Man of Honour
All-in-One is much easier to handle than custom made water cooling.
Even on overclockers.co.uk my cooling solution is listed in the Air Cooling section. As it should be.

So you don't do anything at the moment? and it's nothing to do with your job.
Pretty expensive outlay for something that isn't even your hobby atm.
Don
The H115i is actually listed in all-in-one watercooling not air, but that's besides the point.
The point was that OcUK do some tech labs pre-filled water cooling kits that offer custom performance without having to assemble/fill.
Just because I don't want to post here my personal details doesn't mean I don't do anything but nice assumption.
It will be along with VR but gaming already is and so are 4K movies.
I appreciate your negative views nevertheless.

I was referencing your current video editing, not your job. I was only asking about your job if it was related to the video editing.
Is this it?

It seems to me a bit expensive £400 over the price of the MB.
My edits in red, I can't do the quote breakdowns, way to much copy/paste.
Either way, enjoy the build you do get, it'll be a great system either way.

Don't know why everyone is picking on the guy. Sounds to me like he has a very decent wad of cash to blow, and he wants a monster gaming rig. Nowt wrong with that, might die tomorrow.
Having said that, the OP has made a few questionable choices and you really don't need to spend that much. I built a pretty hefty gaming rig end of last year/ start of this that was based around an x99 Sabertooth, 5930k, 2x980Ti in SLI, an Acer x34, all AIO watercooled (including both GPU's) with lots of fan tweaks and customisation, and all wrapped up in, what I think anyway, a very beautiful (but expensive) Lian Li pc-08 glass case. Probably cost about 3.5k all told but I didn't do it all at once so can't remember now.
