Title: Need suggested parts for a high end Gaming Rig
Post by: eluveitie on December 28, 2015, 06:00:44 AM

Budget is 1000 to 1400

I would like to be able to play most any game maxed out at 1440p (and some games at 4k)

I would like an SSD.

NO AMD

I will be building this in May

That looks great to me, the only part I would think hard about is the liquid cooler - Sure they look cool and are nice and neat inside the case but they perform around the same as a high end air cooler and have lots more to go wrong - I was running a Corsair H60 from 2011 up until a couple of months ago when it decided to leak and pour coolant all over my video card!  Thankfully everything was fine but I doubt the warranty on the card would still be honoured if required!  Obviously this is not going to be the case with all liquid coolers but it goes to show that you can't just fit them and forget about them, they can fail at ant time!
