Hi there,
After bugging figuratively everybody in every subsection of the forums, I think I have come to my final build. My main focuses, in priority: Is black and white, good for gaming, and lasts me for 3-ish years.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Asus X99-Deluxe Intel X99 (Socket 2011) DDR4 ATX Motherboard £299.99
1 x Intel 5820K 3.30GHz (Haswell-E) Socket LGA2011-V3 Processor - Retail (BX80648I75820K) £293.99
1 x Corsair Graphite 760T V2 Windowed Full Tower Case - White (CC-9011074-WW) £159.95
1 x Samsung SM951 256GB M.2 PCI-e Gen3 8Gbps x 4 Solid State Drive (MZHPV256HDGL-00000) £139.99
1 x SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 1000W Fully Modular "80 Plus Gold" Power Supply - White £134.99
2 x TeamGroup Vulcan 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Quad Channel Kit - White (TLWED416G3000HC16AQC01) £109.99 (£219.98)
5 x Corsair AF140 Quiet Series Low Noise High Airflow - Single Pack (CO-9050009-WW) £14.99 (£74.95)
1 x Corsair SP120 Quiet Series High Pressure Low Noise - Single Pack (CO-9050005-WW) £11.99
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 24Pin ATX Extension 30cm - sleeved white/white £8.99
2 x BitFenix Alchemy 8Pin PCIe Extension 45cm - sleeved white/white £6.98 (£13.96)
1 x BitFenix Alchemy 8Pin EPS12V Extension 45cm - sleeved white/white £5.99
Total : £1,379.76 (includes shipping : £12.50 Ex.VAT).
I currently have a Gigabyte 980Ti G1 Gaming, as well as a Xonar DS sound card, but I don't know whether to upgrade the latter or not. Towards the end of the year I may pop another 980Ti in if the prices are decent. I will be salvaging my current Corsair h110, 2TB HDD, and my 250GB SSD too.
Any suggestions on what I could add/do better?
Slight disclaimer: I'll be getting the X99 Deluxe quite discounted from a friend of mine, so for the price I'll be paying, it's the best at that price point.
Thanks!
