My first Gaming PC Build - Did I make the right decision buying these parts ?

[GrZeLa]

HI everyone! Did I make the right decision buying these parts ?

Spec List:

Case: Corsair Obsidian 900D
CPU: Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition
Cpu Cooling: Swiftech H320 CPU Liquid Cooling Kit + 6x Noctua 120mm NF-F12 PWM 1500RPM Fans Push/Pull
Mobo: Asus Rampage IV Black Edition
Ram: Kingston 32GB (4 x 8GB) HyperX Beast DDR3 2400MHz DIMM CL11 Mfr#: KHX24C11T3K4/32X
GPU: 2x EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Superclocked w/ EVGA ACX Cooler
PSU: Corsair AX1200i
Storage1: Samsung SSD 840 Evo 250 GB for OS
Storage2: Samsung SSD 840 Evo 500 GB for games and sofwares
Storage3: WD Green, SATA 6G, 3 TB for Buckup

In the near future I'll want to install full water cooling setup for the cpu, mobo and gpu's.

Let's hope that your answers will be positive, otherwise i will have to hang myself:p
By the way sorry for my bad english.

Welcome to ROG 🙂

That all looks good to me. IMHO, the 3970X is a waste unless you got some incredible deal on it -- the 3930K is, for all intents and purposes, the exact same thing at half the price. Either way, though, it's a great cpu, and you've paired it with the best mobo available. 🙂

Looks good and powerful, The 3970x's IMC should be able to handle 2400MHz.

dont buy green, get a normal one.
green will power down when not in use.

So are you suggest me to swap for Western Digital Black, SATA 6G, 7200RPM, 3,5 - 3 TB ?

i stated normal drive, not black ( antronman did ).
normal WB drive best way, cheepest way for me that is.
a WD green drive have "powersaving" so it will "power down" when not in use.
but if you want to do a black in stead by all means do so. 🙂
taken from WD's home page -> WD Black hard drives are tested and recommended for use in PCs, high-performance workstations, all-in-one PC's, gaming PC's, game consoles, home media PC's and notebook computers.*

WD Black is a hybrid drive.

The G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-19200CL10Q-32GBZHD is faster and costs only $13 more than the kit you listed.

Getting a single Samsung 840 EVO 750GB is $66 cheaper than getting two separate drives. But with your big budget, I'd just get the 1TB version and never look back. Getting smaller drives and dividing them for usage is a hassle.

[Antronman]

Don't get kit WC. And don't even do a non-factory sealed loop on your first build.
