As stated in the title, this is what I am planning on building once I have the cash on hand! Note that there is no graphics card included in this build as I would use my current GTX 750 until Nvidia releases their pascal cards, and I have a 1 TB HDD that I would also throw into this beast
My Next Planned Rig
Drop me an opinion and any changes you might recommend
That 750 will be badly under used until you change it.
Unless you plan on 3 or 4 GPUs, 1200W is waste of money. 750W would be plenty for any solitary or even 2 GPUs.
Yea I planned on the 1200 to leave plenty of room for upgrades :P That and I always like to go big when I build, a nice PSU running under half load lasts a lot longer than one running under almost full
Well i'll take it into consideration but I don't really think it matters too much :P The same power supply comes in a 1050w and 850w version, maybe ill go a little lower if the price is right
May be you should look at better make, like Seasonic PSU, of less power for about same price as that one 1200W.
I looked up a tier ranking of PSUs, and decided on this one: Seasonic Platinum-1000 What do you think?
Seasonic is one of the best PSU makers but they also supply innards to other manufacturers. Here's a list of who uses whose parts inside: http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/psu_manufacturers
The case looks nice but pretty impractical. No flat top surface and where the heck did they stick front ports for USB and audio, hope they are not behind closed doors. Also pretty cramped for a full size ATX MB. I couldn't justify that price for it.
Looks like you are all set for nice OC and cooling could be crucial. Might have a problem with long GPUs in it too.
