PC Build for Friend

RM I have used both DC and standard i7-4790k and I haven't had any more luck with OC on any and from the reviews it doesn't appear to have made any difference either at the end other than temp. We can't justify another £40 really.

We may even de-lid later anyways.

So delivery is for today but DPD has been a little special and split my delivery into different vans so it's going to be a long Morning/afternoon now.

Will get final spec and pics up once it's arrived and built.

This is what the final spec ended up being although the total cost was £2413 thanks to some deals at the time of order and already owning the SSD & Windows 8.

I have a load of photos to upload tonight for the build etc.

She is running pretty well at moment. Haven't had chance to really push the overclock yet as need to update the thermal paste from the stuff that comes stock on the H105 to the Arctic Thermal 5 I have.

You can see in my Sig where we are at with the Overclock etc.

Have installed Watchdogs and we are getting 45-50fps at 4K with settings at maximum apart from AA which is set to FXAA. However the drivers do not appear to be stable at least not with this set-up combination.

They crash for no apparent reason and recover back to the desktop.
 
wow that's some system you've got there or should I say your friends got there, no punches pulled on the budget either, I had less than half of that to spend on my rig and I think it runs brilliantly, I can only imagine what games look like on something like this. Great work buddy, I'm very jealous :(
 
Sorry haven't been on here to update. Photos were lost as I have lost mobile and haven't been back over to get photos again yet.

Couldn't get it past 4.7GHz @ 1.31v

FXAA off didn't make any difference tbh in visuals and installed theworse mod 1.0 which makes it look a hell of a lot better for the same fps.

He has also completed Metro 2034. Still can't run the game at 4k because it is such a resource hungry game. Get only 15fps max but at 1440p it is stunning with all settings at max and around 40-45fps.

I would suggest though really that going for a 1440p 144Hz G-Sync would be better than 4K.

And going for Sli 780Ti 3GB would probably yield better results tbh.

The last comment would be it may well have been easier to go for 2No. 512GB SSD's and not worry about the space on the hard drive but of course it would have pushed the budget to £3k which was just that little too much.
 
850 Watt to power 2 780's, would have thought you would have been at the very top end of Power consumption - Not sure if you will have power draw issues there!
 
Ahh fair enough, I was just wondering really as im on a 4820k + 780ti OC'd on a 1kw EVGA and wasn't sure if I would have to upgrade for Sli 780ti.

Either way though, it does look like an epic build tbf!
 
I have a 3570k and a pair or R9 290s. Maxed I've measured drawn from that wall was about 780w roughly but that was a spike. Usually I would observe ~650w during gaming. I still went for the EVGA G2 1000w because I wanted a decent amount of head room but more so for the 10 year warranty!
