Questions on a Velox build

Budget is around $6k - using for 4k gaming and video editing

I have some questions on the build below:

1. Is the MB sufficient for high CPU OC
2. Is the PSU overkill, could I get away with lower wattage?
3. Do I need a RAID card - I want to set up the two HDD in RAID 0
4. Is the Hydrolux CPU cooling materially better/quieter than the Corsair H110?
5. Is the Noise Supression kit worth it?
6. Do I need Airflow Control?

Cheers,

Tom

Originally posted by bprat22 The mobo is capable of higher oc, DS stage 2, but the CPU will also determine how high. Luck of the silicon lottery.    The 1000 watt psu for sli 980 ti is what I'd recommend.    Raid I couldn't say The Hydrolux Lite is a better unit materially, but doesn't necessarily mean better cooling.   The biggest advantage to the LITE is the loop can be broken for add ons. The noise suppression, stage 2, isn't needed. No place to mount sound deadening material.   Stage 1 is if you want DS to adjust fans instead of using the mobo software, etc. Airflow control Is the same answer as above. To save a few bucks, replace the CPU to the 5820k.   The 5930 has more Pcie lanes to CPU, but for sli, the 5820 is all you need. Plenty of bandwidth. Hope this helps.

Thanks, v helpful - couple of follow up questions:

1. So if I don't need to break the loop then the Corsair cooling is sufficient for the CPU OC?
2. So would Noise level 1 and the airflow hardware reduce noise/improve airflow in a material way - would you go for it?

Here's a quote from Alex....

We stock HydroLux LITE in 220mm and 320mm radiators, and we also use other radiators in conjunction depending on the user selection (1 CPU or 1 CPU + 1 GPU or 1 CPU + 2 GPU) and the chassis.
