I've held off long enough and I now have the slowest PC in the house (except my 16Gb i7 laptop). My current PC from a long dead supplier will be confined to running Linux.
Looking to get a reasonable spec to run a few games (e.g. Elite Dangerous) but also some more esoteric stuff around neural network development (sitting on the GFX card)
.
Here's what I have so far (I can build it):

YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus GeForce GTX 980 DirectCU II OC Strix 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £469.99
1 x Asus Rampage V Extreme Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 EATX Motherboard £329.99
1 x Intel 5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - OEM (CM8064801548435) £299.99
1 x Corsair HX1200i 1200W '80 Plus Platinum' Digital Modular Power Supply (CP-9020070-UK) £184.99
1 x G.Skill Ripjaws 4 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C15 3000MHz Quad Channel Kit - Red (F4-3000C15Q-16GRR) £179.99
1 x Samsung 850 EVO Series mSATA 500GB SATA 6Gbps Solid State Drive (MZ-M5E500BW) £172.99
1 x NZXT Switch 810 Ultra Tower Case - Matt Black £139.99
1 x Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-Bit DVD - OEM (FQC-06949) £109.99
Total : £1,905.62 (includes shipping : £14.75 Ex.VAT).



Any glaring errors? It's a while since I built a system from scratch.
Would also like 32Gb but I don't see the right spec in stock right now hence the 16Gb.

What I haven't sorted out is the water cooling. Any suggestions?
 
I was just about to update the SSD card as I had thought I'd selected the m.2 and just noticed I hadn't:). Thanks

Win 8.1 pro. Although I hate the front end of Win 8 (I've used Windows since Win 3.1) I'm forcing myself to take the medicine. As regards 'pro'......just one reason....I'm a geek with a Degree in Computer Science. :). There is an outside chance I may need/want some of the extra features even without a server in the house. Unlikely but it's only £35 more.
