New Build Queries - Updated....

[MrMagoo]

Hi,

I didn't really know what I was after previously and having had a look around I have decided it's about time I also played a few more games on the PC.

Aiming for a very quick PC for development work (multiple applications open all the time + testing/debugging), plus also a bit of video editing and of course suitable to upgrade if required for gaming if I do get back into it.

I am after it being as quiet as possible whilst working, but when gaming I am not too fussed as will most likely have headphones on.

This is my current basket - it may well be overkill for what I need? or possibly ok for me to update when I increase to gaming on 4k monitors in the future (I want multiple monitors for work, but will only use a single screen for gaming I imagine).

I am aware it's missing monitors (I am after 2 x 24" the same, not 4k at this stage) suitable for gaming and work, and also a CPU cooler (Quieter the better) and a storage solution, I was looking at a M.2 for the OS and another SSD for additional storage, also is the PSU ok for the components/power required, or again more than is required (this could be replaced in the future if I did upgrade anything else).

My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Gigabyte X99M Gaming 5 - Intel Core i7 5820K Six Core CPU & Motherboard Bundle ***£30 Saving***= £439.98
• 1 x be quiet! Silent Base 800 - Orange= £84.95
• 1 x TeamGroup Vulcan 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 PC4-24000C16 3000MHz Quad Channel Kit - White (TLWED416G3000HC16A= £129.95
• 1 x be quiet! Straight Power 10 700W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply= £99.95
• 1 x KFA2 GeForce GTX 980 "8Pack Edition" 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card= £349.99

Total: £1,119.52
(includes shipping: £14.70)

All suggestions appreciated, I was trying to keep the cost of this build down but I don't appear to be doing very well at that so far...

I think that cooler should fit in the case (according to the product details).

Still looking for some monitors and also I imagine thermal paste for the cooler? on my last build I used arctic silver, or are there better alternatives?

Case+cooler bundle.

Would that cooler be ok for the CPU? (or at least good enough to start with and upgrade to a better one later?)

Thanks!

Thanks for that, am updating some components!

I had actually meant to put one of these in for the OS and hadn't been paying attention...

Moving my old build to SSD made a massive improvement so was thinking the quicker the better for the OS?

I don't mind the bottom bezel too much, really after thin side bezels and would prefer a nicer monitor but was trying to reduce the initial costs, another option would be to skip the monitors for now and then purchase some soon and get better ones - I quite like this one:

[MrMagoo]

All looking good, I think I will use my existing monitors for a month or so and then buy a couple as it should reduce the impact of a new build just before Christmas!
