Hi,

I'm thinking about ordering a Titan Typhoon system this week and I have a few questions I hope to get opinions on. I'm kinda out of date hardware wise so excuse me if I ask anything nooby :) I'll be using the PC for a media hub, video editing and a few games such as GTA V.

The system is:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-067-OG

Intel Core i7 Haswell-E 5930K @ 3.8GHz, X99 Chipset, Up to 32GB 2133MHz DDR4, Samsung SSD, Nvidia Graphics, SLI Option, 7.1 HD Audio, GB LAN, Super Flower 1000W Gold Rated PSU

With the following options:

16GB RAM
1 TB Samsung SSD
3TB 7200rpm HD
Win 7 Home Premium
GeForce GTX 980 or 2x 970 in SLI

On to the questions!

1) I assume this rig will play GTA V and Far Cry 4 etc maxed out pretty well?

2) Is it a noisy PC fan wise? Obviously all fan cooled systems make noise, just don't want something sounding like a hoover :)

3) Plan to order the PC with a SSD and a 7200rpm hard drive but I would like to add 3 additional SATA hard drives. It possible to have 5 SATA devices connected in this rig?

4) I like having windows installed and all set up when I buy a rig, however I already have a windows 7 home premium licence from a machine I bought from yourselves a few years ago. I don't really fancy buying a new one. Is it possible to order the machine with windows installed but with no licence so I can transfer/use my current one?

5) I've been doing a bit of reading up regard to this, but I can't make up my mind, so opinions are welcome please! I don't know whether to get a single GTX980 or two GTX970 in SLI. Both configs cost pretty much the same. If you're reading this which would you choose? :)

Many thanks

Heya,

Thanks for your time

My budget is £2300 max including VAT for the box. I don't need any else as I just ordered a new Dell U2715H 27" screen so as you can guess I plan to play games at 1440p.

Have no color scheme planned - just a nice dark case with a window.

Went through most of the pre configured gaming bundles and the Titan Typhoon seems the best match but opinions are welcome! :)

When it comes down to configuring a system I'm lost as I don't know which motherboard is the best.. and then when it comes cooling I'm lost. I'm basically looking for a rock solid stable machine that will last a few years without any issue... and is quiet. (No water cooling - too difficult to maintain) But I suppose everyone is looking for that :)

Make's it very confusing and complicated to order doing it that way - I just want to be able to edit a system config like on every other website such as ** No competitors ** <-- looks like they'll be getting my business despite being more expensive.

Thanks anyway lee!
 
Just wish I found the above mentioned site last night - would have saved me a whole day trying to build a system on here with all the incomplete system configurations. Complete waste of a day :(

Very disappointed in oc.co.uk. Meh
 
Just giving you an update Lee since you were kind enough to spec some systems for me. I placed an order today for the Titan Typoon system with the following config. oc.co.uk has you to thank for my order!
