Need help with a computer build.

[usernamehere]

Hi Everyone,

I will be starting on a second computer build but Am just not sure what to get in parts wise.

The computer will be for gaming, video editing (1080p) , live steaming and gaming together etc..

So far I have got

Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU Water Cooler with 240mm Radiator & fans S115x/2011/1366/FM1/FM2/AM2/AM3

16GB (2x8GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Pro Series Red, PC3-19200 (2400), Non-ECC Unbuffered, CAS 11-13-13-31, XMP, 1.65V

3GB EVGA GTX 780Ti Superclocked, 28nm, PCIe 3.0 (x16), 7000MHz GDDR5, GPU 980MHz, Boost 1046MHz, Cores 2880, DP/ HDMI

850W Antec High Current Gamer 0-761345-06225-1 Non-Modular, 80 PLUS Bronze, Dual Rail, 1x135mm Fan, ATX PSU

Intel Core i7 4790K, 1150, Haswell, 4 Core 4.4GHz Turbo, 5 GT/s DMI, 1.2GHz GPU, 40x Ratio, 84W, Retail

Am just missing the case,ssd and the mobo. However! I am not 100% sure about the parts I have listed if there any good? (I just went with "Hot Seller")

Budget: I don't really have a budget set but I can get anything I want as am getting "After a 10% deposit pay nothing for 9 months".

Thank you everyone!

PS if you are going to recommend parts can you please link them from Computer Hardware - Scan.co.uk since that is where I am buying from.

how about a mobo? I would suggest Asus. And i would look at better ram with lower timings. as far as a case, check this out:

NEW NZXT H440 STEEL Mid Tower Case. Next Generation 5.25-less Design. Include 4 x 2nd Gen FNv2 Fans, High-End WC support, USB3.0, Matte BLK/Red - Newegg.com

Got any names for the mobo or ram?

There are so many makes and companies out there.

Asus for mobos, an mushkin, gskill, corsair for ram. jst look for lower timings @ 2400MHz if thats what u want.

[N00berG00ber]

[N00berG00ber]

[N00berG00ber]

I have never overclocked in my life as I don't see why. So I wont be..

Sadly that ram is not on the website (scan.co.uk) so I cannot buy it, since I am getting a loan from that company to buy all my parts.

Do I need anything else like extra cables?


Also can someone explain this cable to me "AK-CBFA04-15 4pin PWM 2 into 1 power Splitter cable"
I just want to make sure... I can connect two fans to this cable and it will power both?

Thanks

 

[N00berG00ber]

ok all good then
and yes that cable will work

I will be buying it soon. But I will be keeping a eye on this topic in case anyone else has any ideas.

Also I want to know will it be ok to use old parts from my old computer? Just the DVD drive and the 1tb HDD (formated of course)

It sounds like a solid system. My only advice is to make sure that the water cooler radiator will fit in the case without too much trouble.

Regarding cables I would pull the trigger on this kit......you'll thank me later....of course fancier also available (see colors).

Last time I bought this when available it was like under 20.00 usd may be more now. They also make nice sata and a cool front panel connector kit as well as a powered fan cable port.

I use 4 of these and they do work great and make things much neater.
They can also be used with a fan controller.
