Check out my recent upgrade on this system(new cpu and water cooling loop): • Corsair 780t build 4690k @ 4.5gHz Corsair dominator platinum 16G titan x pascal @ 2101gHz Corsair HX1000i
I'm using a custom loop in this build, where most parts come from EKWB, including 2 radiators, a pump reservoir combo, a cpu block, a gpu block and some fittings. But building a custom loop can be a little complex especially if you are building a computer for the first time. There are some nice tutorials out there though, you can check out JayzTwoCents's videos on this topic. You may also consider using a AIO liquid cooler, which has a similar performance but will be much easier to set up. Good luck with your build!
ZE KENZY Thanks for checking out my video. Sure, but do you mean only the main components like cpu, motherboard, gpu etc or all of them (for example, fans, pump, reservoir, radiator, tubing, fittings)?
It's a pretty large case, and you can fit almost any part in there. I know it can be a little bit confusing when building your first pc, but you are welcome to ask for any suggestions. I'm not a professional but I did learn a few things from building my own pc. I think the components you buy should depends on your budget and what kind of performance you are expecting, I was wondering what are you mainly planning to on this computer. Anyway, to get it to work, here are the things you absolutely need: cpu, a cpu cooler, motherboard, ram, gpu (unless you plan to use intel's integrated gpu, which is trash), a psu, hard drive 1. CPU. I use a 4690k, but it's too old now, I actually bought it from one of my friends. I suggest you to look at some newer CPU, cause this one only works with ddr3 RAM, which is no longer popular now. If you want an i5 too, I suggest you get the 6600k, which is its successor. Try look it up on amazon or newegg. www.amazon.com/Intel-Skylake-Desktop-Processor-BX80662I56600K/dp/B012M8M7TY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495250533&sr=8-2&keywords=4690k I think you can also take a look at the ryzen cpu from AMD, they seem to be pretty good too. 2. CPU cooler. I used to have a H60, it's more expensive since it's a AIO water cooler but perform quite well. But this should depends on your CPU. www.amazon.com/Corsair-Hydro-Performance-Liquid-Cooler/dp/B00A0HZMGA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495250712&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+h60 3. Motherboard. I'm using a MSI Z87m gaming, but don't buy this one, it's not compatible with the new CPUs. If you want to get a 6600k, try these two: www.amazon.com/ROG-STRIX-Z270F-GAMING-Motherboard/dp/B01N6E5DGE/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1495250948&sr=1-1&keywords=asus+motherboard www.amazon.com/ROG-Maximus-IX-LGA1151-Motherboard/dp/B01NBHXSP6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495250966&sr=8-1&keywords=asus+motherboard+maximus+ix 4. RAM. I'm using Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB ddr3 version, but these are ddr3 RAM, which will not work for current cpus. You need to get ddr4 RAM if you are building a system now. This should work: www.amazon.com/Corsair-Dominator-Platinum-3000MHz-CMD16GX4M2B3000C15/dp/B0134EVVO2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495251179&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+dominator+platinum+ddr4 5. GPU. I'm using a titan x pascal, but I'd advise against getting this one. Even if you want the best GPU in the market, you should buy a 1080ti. Titan x is too overpriced right now. 6. PSU. I have a corsair hx1000i, seems to be a little bit overkill for my system. www.amazon.com/Corsair-HX1000i-Modular-Platinum-Certified/dp/B00M2UINT6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495251371&sr=8-1&keywords=corsair+hx1000i 7. Hard drive. I have a corsair neutron xt 480g ssd, right now it has a new successor: www.amazon.com/Corsair-Neutron-XTi-480GB-CSSD-N480GBXTI/dp/B01HIA63S2/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1495251419&sr=8-2&keywords=corsair+neutron+xt I also have a Seagate 2TB HDD. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EIQTKAS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 To be honest, I don't really think the exact same system is suitable for everyone, my cpu is too weak for my GPU and I will upgrade my cpu soon. What is the main purpose for this PC?
it only takes one leak just one.. then you would have to start over! that is why i will never go water cooling! it looks good but fan cooling is the way to go!
