BaZurk Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hey everyone, with the exception of DDR4 ram and a CPU Cooler my 2014 build is almost done. its as follows. Corsair CC600TWM-WHT Special Edition Graphite Series 600T Mid Tower Gaming Computer Case - White http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004O0PAKW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Intel Core i7-5820k 3.3 GHz LGA 2011 V3 http://www.microcenter.com/product/437203/Core_i7-5820k_33_GHz_LGA_2011_V3_Tray_Processor MSI X99S Gaming 7 LGA 2011-v3 Intel X99 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130795 Crucial MX100 CT256MX100SSD1 2.5" 256GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148820 NZXT HALE82 V2 700W 700W ATX 12V V2.31 & EPS 12V V2.92 SLI CrossFire 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Full Modular Active PFC Power Supply (Haswell Support) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817116024 All bitfenix white sleeve white connector cables. and using my GTX 680 From my previous build until further notice. I was looking at this ram and cpu cooler. thoughts? Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4-19200) Desktop MemoryModel BLS2K8G4D240FSA http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148865&cm_re=crucial_sport_ddr4-_-20-148-865-_-Product CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Extreme Performance Water/Liquid CPU Cooler. 240mm http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181032&cm_re=100i-_-35-181-032-_-Product So all but the last two items are purchased and/or in my possession already. Couple questions, 1. your opinion on the build itself? I am looking for something a bit more future proof for future upgrading such as a M.2 drive. 2. Will this PSU be okay for a one GPU setup? 3. Is the ram and CPU cooler I am purchasing advisable? Thank you in advance. FiB3R 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Bodnaruk Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hi I always look to the future whne I build for future upgrades, I like to plan ahead. Power Supply is bare minimum for basic system. My choice is an Thermaltake 1050Watt ToughPower Grand, so when I upgrade my current AMD 7870 too TWO AMD R9 285 or R9 290 cards I will have enough for my system. I also currently run 3x Sata 1.0 TB Disks, 16GB KIngston HyperX DDR3 1600 on my ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z and 8 core AMD FX8150 watercooled cpu.

BaZurk Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 As far as the PSU being the bare minimum id wonder why after using this website to calculate needed power I was well under what this build would need.

Mindovermaster Moderator Posted September 11, 2014 Moderator Share Posted September 11, 2014 WTF does he need a 1050W? 700W is more than fine for his system. Unless he goes SLI/Xfire, it's fine. CPU cooler is great. I have the 80i for nearly a year now, no trouble. Brandon H and BaZurk 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
