Not buying a case, doofus.

>>56052133
By buying and THEN asking.

At a glance, the M65, the g400s/g502/fk1 isn't much more expensive and far superior if you're gaming. Also getting a cat, at all. Dogs are the only acceptable pet - cats are for shit cunts.

Yeah, not itx

#1 you bought Dominator Platinum DDR3

The DDR4 box is red unless I'm mistaken

All other corsair components sucks

no mech keyboard, rice mouse, water cooling is OK but Noctua NH D15 is better

The industrial PPC fans are awesome but loud asf so you might return those even if you control the speed in speed in uefi bios

ftw is the worst series from evga

otherwise nice cpu 6950x and best mobo

What the fuck are you doing to ever need the 6850? Or did you get it for shits and giggles?

Either way it's good

>>56052643
Ya and pissing in a pool increases the water level slightly. Seriously, when the fuck are you ever actually above even 50% cpu or even remotely throttled by your processor? This isn't 2001, nobody's using a p4 anymore

>>56052747

piss isn't water which is the whole point unless you like mixing sound and processing

Looks good OP. Happy building. Where's the mem?

>>56052766
Its like 99% water

Im sure your cpu can figure it out. I didnt even notice performance issues related to sound on my old first gen i3 shitbox laptop from 2011

>>56052795

it's not the performance it's about the audio, look whatever you say makes you happy is fine with me. saying piss is water is mind boggling. that said crystal sound is amazing esp. on deluxe but never better than a soundcard

The 6850k only makes sense if you have 2 or more GPUs because of the extra PCIe lanes.

Otherwise just save $200 and get the 6800k, they're identical silicon and overclock to identical levels.

Everyone says that, but a good platinum 1k watt psu has a sweetspot around 500-600 watts. It's not drawing more than it needs anyway.

>>56053742
Thanks. Yeah it's this one.

Never applied my own thermal paste before, so we'll see how that goes.

That Gelid thermal paste is terrible. Dries up and glues your CPU to your heatsink after a few months. I almost ripped the pins off my CPU because of this. Return that shiet ASAP.

The only other one I've used is AS5 so I recommend that instead.

>>56052133
>6850k
For what purpose? Do you really need all those PCI-E lanes? Cause that's what you paid for.

>>56052133
I almost regret buying a 1070 FTW instead of 1080 FTW but I'm buying either the 1080ti or vega equivalent when it's out anyway.

>>56053758

Which is actually below what you will be drawing probably.
I use both an AMD GPU and CPU and barely draw
350W or so when gaming.

>>56053912
This, the amount of times I hear this from people on here.

>>56053942
Can confirm this, my R9 290 + 4690K combo, both overclocked as far as I can get them (and in the 290's case, at 150% power limit), never drew more than 510W from the wall, and that's with a mere 80+ rated 700W PSU.

Planning on expanding into pci ssd in the next year or so, and SLI for either the titan or ti

>>56053912
Last build I had a noctua dh15s, and from what I read the thermal paste is pretty good as is.
To be honest there's not a huge gain for me taking the paste off the corsair h115i, but I want to try.

Also I'm not just a retard with money, just been getting back into consumer tech over the last year or so

>>56054235
>tfw 850w gold psu for 4690k and gtx 780

>>56054252
yea 650w would even be slightly over doing it with that setup. Its okay though, a lot of people got jewd into buying really high watt power supplies in like 2014-15 some how. People are getting smarter though.

>>56053758
>1k watt psu has a sweetspot around 500-600 watts
Well considering 50% of the time you'll likely just be idling on the desktop or watching youtube or someshit, it will be using likely 80-130w at idle.

The platinum spec calls for 90% efficiency at 20% load levels, but 20% of 1050 is 210w, that would be a light gaming load with your specs.

Idling will be below 20% power draw which means it is likely far below that 90% efficiency, only the titanium specification requires high efficiency at 10% load levels, which is what you will be idling at.

Should've gone for an 800w titanium rated unit senpai.

>>56054284
Yeah I run a 5820k and GTX 970 on a 600w PSU.

I dont ever see more than ~450w from the wall and that's with my 5820k at 4.6GHz

>>56054186
Well if you did want it for games. 24" is usually the best, and i dont know if im looking at the correct monitor but if you paid $833 for that thing, i feel bad. The only thing that make it that expensive is the 165hz meme. Horribly overpriced for something that wont make a giant difference unless you run a lot of games at 150+ fps. I would try to find a nice 24" 120hz/144hz monitor with a 1ms response. You could probably easily find a nice one for under $350.

>>56054284
I was actually going to sli. I used to have 3 gtx 770s. Now I'm stuck with a gtx 780 and it's already enough to satisfy me. Might go all out at the end of 2017 and get a higher res monitor along with whatever strong gpu is out.
I barely play games though... It sucks having a nice pc but losing your interest in games. Looking forward to maybe mafia 3 and ff 15/kingdom hearts.

>>56054332
Yeah, I mean if we're being really honest, for my last build I had some $30 open box LG 24inch monitor that was 60hz at 1080p and that was totally fine. I'm pretty skeptical this $700 monitor is going to be worth that price difference.

>>56054449
Welcome to the g-sync tax. The exact same monitor with freesync would probably be $500

>>56054287
I think you're mostly right, but other than maybe $60-40, I didn't lose out on anything. The reviews are also really good. This won't be my daily driver computer, I have others for that.

Does that build look like it was ever meant to be some kind of welfare bang for the buck build? For the price most of that stuff is great. While I might've picked a few parts differently, it's a really good selection of parts overall.

only problem i see is the AIO, shitty gaymer mouse and overkill amounts of RAM. otherwise it's decent.

if you're gonna splurge though should have just ponied up the extra money for X99 platform and a titan xp.
