Show Us Your Rig [8]

[essenbe]

Jack, I have no clue and know no reason why your video card would be a problem or why it should. My only 'concern', and I don't know if it is valid or not, is that you have chosen a Board made for the Newer CPUs but have chosen one of the older CPUs. The Asus Deluxe II was made for the 6900/68xx CPUs. The original Asus Deluxe was made for the 59xx/5800 CPUs. Personally, although it is about $50 more expensive, I think I would go for the i7-6800K CPU, for that reason as well as it is newer and supposed to be improved over the 59xx-5800 versions. The newer CPU has different features such as a different turbo boost and the board is made for that. How it would handle the older versions, I have no idea. Better safe than sorry.

The same reason my Asus Deluxe 2011-3 has a bios update for the newer CPUs that I have not updated to, and I tend to always use the latest bios.

Hi,
Haven't taken any new pictures in a while

 

[essenbe]

Looks nice Mike. Here's my 5930K while I was building it.

 

[ThrashZone]

Nice
That separate strain wiring takes a little to get used too
I do like the evga wiring a lot

 

[essenbe]

Yea, it does. Especially that brand. The NZXT brand looks much better.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
I believe Brian = AddRam has his looking pretty good but dang it seems a lot of trouble to get looking that way

 

[essenbe]

Yea, it is sort of, but so is hiding the wiring. It's just more in what you want. It's always a lot of extra trouble to get your rig looking pretty good. I really dislike my wiring. A lot of it was using the brand of wires I used. I won't use them again.

 

[ThrashZone]

Yep,
All I can say my filtering is working pretty good
Very little mess to cleanup when I hooked up my new 1080

Now I do have a wretched asus gtx 980 to get rid of now :/

Oops forgot filters

 

[essenbe]

Yea, I may try to get rid of my 980 Classified and my 780 Classified. I've never sold stuff before, but heck first time for everything.

Looks is just a matter of taste. As long as it is clean and functional, everything else is just taste and for looks.

 

[ThrashZone]

Hi,
Yep I live in a dust bowl so the filters are functional

I looked into selling on amazon but they were not open or I had issues contacting and or signing up to register
Seems a tad better than ebay and more straight forward than bidding rules....
Might even drop by a pawn shop just to see what they would offer
I'd take 350. probably

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank you folks for your help and input.

I don't know how I missed the 6800K. Much better choice. Thanks Steve.

I'm thinking because of the good luck I have had with EVGA video cards I will go with this instead of the Asus video card.
The color will go well with my system also. I'm not a gamer so it should be more than enough.

For all the new readers, this thread will show how difficult picking the proper hardware is.
Even with all the help members have given me it takes many, many hours, hell it takes days.

As always I'm open to suggestions.

Jack

 

[essenbe]

Jack, in all honesty, the GTX 1070 is a pretty darn strong gaming card. Although, price/performance, it may be the best buy you can make, in my opinion. But, you could save a few bucks by getting a lesser card. If you don't do any gaming or graphics work, I may look at a 1050 TI or a 1060. Any of those cards should run well in that rig.

 

[Layback Bear]

Thank you Steve for your thoughts.

I will think on it for a while.

Jack

 

[AddRAM]

I suggest also going with an EVGA PSU, an 850 will be more then enough, but if you`re set on it then get a 1000 watt.

Hi,
No telling I would make sure the ram was C15 and not C16 though

1070 shouldn't be too much more.

Excellent set Jack, you won`t be disappointed, but you can get a faster set cheaper directly through Corsair. No tax and shipping is like $4.99

Dominator(R) Platinum Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4 DRAM 2666MHz C15 Memory Kit (CMD16GX4M4A2666C15)

And compare this card with the one you picked out, this is what EVGA is calling the Black Edition, all the specs are the same and it`s a bit cheaper and it looks sweet.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 08G-P4-5173-KR, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)-Newegg.com

I`d say to go directly through EVGA, but they haven`t had stock on any 10 series card since they came out, I just don`t understand them.

 

[Layback Bear]

I was some what worried that the cpu could not handle the 2666 speed ram.
Intel list it a 2400. Then again I have always put faster the Intel specs in my system with no problem.

I will give that ram a chance and change my order.
I buy all my hardware from my local dealer. He delivers and will do business with cash.

The black edition doesn't match my color scheme quiet as well.

Thanks

Jack

 

[AddRAM]

Intel is not allowed to list faster speed memory in their specs, that cpu and board could run 3200 MHz no problem.

Tommy runs 3200 with his 6700K no problem, and I run mine at 2800 no problems.

And you do not have to run it at 2666 if you don`t want to. Unless you enable XMP, it will run at 2133. It will have 2 XMP profiles on it, 2666 and 2800 and with the board and cpu you`re getting you won`t have any problems with memory.

 

[Layback Bear]

I never use XMP.
I noticed the ram volts are lower on the 2666 than the 2400 and that should be good.

There is a big difference between a 2011 socket and a 1151 socket.

I see that Steve is using 2800 ram on a 5930 (2011 socket)

The difference between 2800 ram and 2666 would be very slight but worth thinking about.

Hello Steve.
What speed are you running your 2800 ram?
