Yet another spec check 3k+

[systemerror]

Hi All,

I know I recently asked for people input on a build. I went ahead and bought most of the things but have returned the giga oc board and 4770k cpu.

I will be going Ivy-E, I know that its overkill for my needs but I have the ability to build a system like this and have always wanted a top end PC.

This is my thoughts so far.

I can still upgrade my EVGA 780 classy via step-up to a 780ti reference design. Will end up going tri sli at some point probably May/June

I aslo will be using these things from my current pc
EK Supreme HF CPU Waterblock - Nickel Plexi
EK CoolStream RAD XTX (360)
OcUK Tech Lab - XSPC D5 Vario Pump & Alphacool Clear HF D5 Top Value Combo

Would appreciate some thoughts on this. Will be a Black/Red/Black Chrome theme.

Many Thanks

I already own a 780 classy, else that would have been a serious thought as then I could have mined when not using the PC.

Thanks for the replies, I should also have explained my self a bit better in honesty.

Firstly I will go over what I will retrieve from my current set-up.

1 * Corsair 900D (xmas pressie from wife so cant really change it)
1 * Evga 780 Classy
1 * Samsung Evo 250gb
2 * WD green 1tb
and then as above on the water cooling side I have
1 * EK Supreme HF CPU Waterblock - Nickel Plexi
1 * EK CoolStream RAD XTX (360)
1 * OcUK Tech Lab - XSPC D5 Vario Pump & Alphacool Clear HF D5 Top Value Combo

I went a bit made on the fittings as when I bought my fist WC parts I only bought enough fittings for what I need and now they will not be enough so have to replace everything. I don't like mix and match where possible to avoid so was just trying to make sure if I added more things I would have enough to do so.
The reason behind QDC was to make adding the next GPU easy and the tap and onther set of QDC for a drain point.

I was recently looking at MJFrosty's build log and really like the way he has connected the GPU's so will be doing something similar I think

Will go Res > pump > bottom 480 rad > 360 rad > CPU block > top 480 rad > GPU's > Res.

Thanks Doom for you spec, I really like those fans you linked also would you go with that TT psu over a Super Flower even if I went for the gold rated one instead of the Platinum? I have a HX 850 I can use tell they back in stock.

On another note you would agree stick with the 780's and not go 780ti?

I take it it does not matter using dual channel memory in the X79?

I have been reading a few reviews and am battling to see the main difference between the Rive and the RiveBE I must be stupid. Could you maybe help me on that in layman's terms besides looks and price.

thanks again really appreciate the input.
