Rick99,
That appears to be a first class and may I say one kick ass rig you're about the build. I would visit Asus's site and dbl. check that the ram is on the approved and tested list. I would suggest G-Skill ram or Corsair's new line of Dominator.

Will it work?

If you mean will it start up if the parts are not defective and you assemble it correctly, I'd say yes.

But I'm guessing you mean something other than "if this build would work".

It may be a completely ridiculous set of parts, depending on your intended use and budget.

 

[Rick99]

Your right I think I can build it correctly but that's what meant.

Your right I think I can build it correctly but that's what meant.

What?

I don't comprehend the reply.

What do you mean by "if this build would work"?

 

[Rick99]

I mean if the parts will work together sorry about the other reply

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Yes likely to both but IMHO do you really need or want to drop 1k+ on a CPU? What a waste of resources unless you are going to make some money doing something faster then others on it?

 

[Rick99]

Yeah, I thought the 3960K would be around $700 not $1000 but since it's so much more and not really worth it I'm probably going to get the 3930K.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

+1 to that!

 

[Rick99]

Any other ideas for the Pc?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

Yes don't even install the corsair fans that come with the H80. Discard them to a deaf friend and go with a premium like Noctua's, Corsairs new high pressure quiet series, Scythe's and the like. Same with all the case fans, if it was me I would go with Noctua's on straight 12v off the PSU for all of them, use focused flow high pressure on the push/pull rad. set up and for front fans pushing over the hard drives then the standard Noc's everywhere else and anyplace the Noc/ 140mm that can mount in a 120mm like the rear exhaust, side intakes and top exhaust placements I would use them. Yeah they have a unique look but nothing runs as quiet!

 

[Rick99]

Is there a cooling performance increase with those fans or will it only be how quiet the cooling is?

 

[linnemeyerhere]

No more of a pleasure increase from not have to shout over your rig when you game or do advanced work that draws power and heat like ripping music, photo/video editing, CAD and the like.

 

[Rick99]

Thanks I may buy one of those. If you have anymore ideas tell me

 

[linnemeyerhere]

140mm that mounts in a 120mm space.
Noctua.at - sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria"!
120mm for high pressure mounts like front case and rad./rad. exhuast
Noctua.at - sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria"!
120mm focused flows for rad's and point cooling.
Noctua.at - sound-optimised premium components "Designed in Austria"!

If you don't upgrade the fans then for sure go with a nice fan controller so you can spin the stockers down when doing light work and spin them up to take off when you game or other.

This is random but I don't know if I will be able to build this soon or at all.

 

[linnemeyerhere]

That's ok I'm wanting a new case and change over my rig but I'm thinking it's not really needed and better to hold off. Also have built several compact rigs with the kill components only using a m-atx format in my mind and just can't wait to close a couple of fat deals and I'll pull the trigger on one or two massive upgrades..

 

[Rick99]

Wow you have way more experience then me because this will be my first build any advice for first time builders? Oh and I did watch a video on how to build a Pc so I'm not completly blind.
