A second opinion

[Giannis996]

Hello RoGers,

After a Very carefull search for my new pc build and the info and tips that you gave me on my last threa about it i decided to buy the following stuff:

Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Extreme/Battlefield 3
CPU: intel Core i7 Extreme Edition (i want the best gaming prossesor in the market so plz tell me if this isnt the best 1)
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX590 Watercooled (i might buy an other 1 in the future for SLI)
Case:Corsair Obsidian 800D series Full tower
Optical Drive: Asus BW-12B1LT
PSU: CoolerMaster Silent Pro Gold 1200W or Corsair Gold AX 1200 (help me decide plz)
Ram: Corsair Vegeance (help me decide the best for my motherborad :p)

I also want to use a SSD from Corsair probably Force GT series but im open to recomendations i dont know much about SSD's yet 😛

This PC is enough expensive for me that i dont want to make any mistakes buying wrong things so plz i need your advise as im not so pro as you are 🙂

ill also use Corsair H80 series for my CPU cooling and the rest of the watercooling stuff ill buy from Ekwaterblocks.com

Definitively a AX 1200, way better CPU I really like it. For the SSD, you better with an Intel 520 ( 5 years warantty ) , If you want WC don't loose your time with the Corsair H80, go directelly with the Ek or koolance block, a good rad , pump and reservoir

here a pic of the Rad and Fan I use in my 800d , keep in mind it's a pic when I build it, some stuff are missing espeically the WC GPU
, I will upgrade all this with the new Maximus V formual , as soon I can get one...

This pic is over 18 months. now the 800d is in my shop , I use it only for download drivers for my customers, but with the new Formula board...thing will change.

this is how it look now, I change the motherboard and the CPU is not WC cooled anymore.



and here in the last day before I made the cleaning and the change

It maybe a little dirty but I still think it looks good and goes to show you do know your system.

[Giannis996]

so its better to buy an intel SSD plz can you link?

BTW nice PC even dirty its awesome do you think its a good idea to watercool my rampage IV extreme?

[WHO_FARTED_]

ditch that h80 and make your kit. water cooling isnt a bad idea, but its cost more and takes time to install. It cuts down on the need for 80 case fans blowing 10 tons of dust into your case. A good loop will cool your cpu and gpu. Just look at pics above as to how to run it. as far as RAM, if its for gaming I'd go with a 1600mhz 8gb kit. As long as it has xmp. Dont worry to much about speed or timings. If you plan on overclocking I dont see where you would have to spend more on the extreme just buy the 3630, unless you just have the extra money to waste. Ive never seen a review that anyone justifies the price of the extremes.
