over 9000!

What list!?
Its a good rounded system, sure. could probably do with a better GFX (You pretty much have the same as me in terms of GFX)

More importantly, are you happy with it?

2 because of the following:

Overpowered PSU

More RAM then you need to actually game on (unless you use your rig of other reasons)

as starters, the amount you paid out instead of coming here first

out of the 1000w psu i use 800 so its useful to have the extra space
i use the extra ram to use in 3d programs and video editing
i spent £800 on the rig

Extra space, you have masses of space over!

You be lucky to use 250w.

JTS · 15 Oct 2013 at 20:27

On the same PSU ..... now did you manage to do that as it only has 1x 24 pin cable?

Not sure where you worked that out but you're way off.

That covers everything in your list + 5 140mm fans.

Without those fans added:

I'm assuming you mean one of these:

Your NAS server should have a seperate power supply, it shouldn't be using the PC power supply. With a kettle lead splitter your PC power supply isn't doing anything for the NAS server.

That won't use any power from the 1000w PSU in your main computer, your NAS will have its own PSU.

Like I said in the last post, your 1000w PSU is only powering your PC. If you look at your NAS server you should see it has a power supply of its own (where you plug the kettle lead in).

Using a splitter saves a plug socket but doesn't make your PC PSU power something else too.

So epic fail buddy, you will only need about tops a 430W PSU for your actual PC and maybe another 190w for your NAS depending on its hardware but they do not share the same power generated from the PSU in the PC.

5/10 for: low profile cooler, only 1 7850 (£105 for a msi one at then moment) and 1000w psu............yeah you could run 4 7850@1300mhz and your fx6300@5ghz without that breaking a sweat.
