A little Education B4 Purchase

so you are at 1080P then right?

first you want a 6 core 3930k

second do you need a card reader?

hdd one should be ssd.

do you need a wireless card? if yes why not just the deluxe mobo that has built in wifi?

noise package is not needed, haf is quiet, most of your noise will come from your gpu's fan when under load, and you don't keep that down unless you want to burn your gpu.

change ssd to a bigger one if you think you need the room:

Here you go Ticket# 792517 --- $2,934 (To see this build click here)

haf 200mm non led fan

you can simply get a usb stick micro sd adapter, thats what I do.

you have got some bad info on ssd, there are lot of fakexperts out there.

1. all ssds are not the same.

2. ssds like intel and corsair have a proven record here.

3. new ssds new technology.

4. good ssds have at least a 3 year warranty.

I would go with the deluxe don't listen to what he said, there is zero reason for why you should not get the deluxe when you have use for the wifi.

noise package = turning down fans = less noise.

if type of games you play don't utilize sli then we can change psu and save some money.

I'm glad you came here and asked us

Edited by DST4ME - 24 Feb 2013 at 2:35pm

the ones we like here due to track record are the intel 520 and the corsair neutron, fast boot is one of many pros.

on ssd should be os/apps/games

on hdd you store work/media files.

windows takes advantage of all cores, so its always help no matter what.



Created by the Cinema 4D folks we have Cinebench, a popular 3D rendering benchmark that gives us multi-threaded 3D rendering results.




those are with ssd, without ssd they would be different, so keep that in mind also.


Edited by DST4ME - 24 Feb 2013 at 3:03pm

you can always get a second ssd say a setup like this:

hdd1 = ssd = os/apps

hdd2 = ssd = games

hdd3 = 1TB BC = work/media storage

also some games can be stored on hdd till you ready to play them, then you can move them to ssd at that time.

My pleasure and good luck

I had another question I'm not sure about.
for only a $20 i could get the
"H20: Stage 2: Corsair H100i 240mm Radiator Liquid CPU Cooler "
and for no additional cost i can get the
"H20: Stage 2: Digital Storm Vortex 240mm Radiator Liquid CPU Cooler "
should i stick with the
"AIR: Stage 2: Noctua NH-D14 SE2011 "?


Edited by TheWraithProject - 26 Feb 2013 at 3:43pm

i was mostly wondering if it would be betting to go liquid cool or not. i've never had a liquid cool system before so i really dont know if it would benefit me much on this setup or not. that and not sure what type of maintenance is involved in that particular system

Real LC starts at stage 4, before that you are not getting real LC performance, the most important thing about a LC is the water-block and radiator, take my pc for example, remove my water block swiftech apogee xt and put a mediocre WB in there and what you get is air cooled temps.

Now as for h100, the link BP showed you, is all fans running on high, at this level the h100 is loud as hell, if you lower the fans a bit to quiet the noise then the noctua wins.

On top of that, best thing about the d14 is that you can always add a third fan or put 3 x 140mm fans on it and make it a very quiet killer, something the h100i can never keep up with, people do it all the time:









best thing to do is add good 3 x 140mm fans for killer performance.

Our pleasure and good luck

No it does not my pics are mods.

it comes with a 140mm and a 120mm fan stock.

@ArkansasWoman777, you can throw 140mm x 3 in there like the pics and get even better temps if you wanted, its pretty cheap.

Not sure to be honest, never been done before on the forum.

ask them and tell us what they say:

[email protected]

I think they will

changing the 120mm fan with the 140mm fan will make it more quiet at higher rmps since bigger fans move more air per rmp. And adding a third 140mm fan will make the cooling that much better, this may not work on some of the smaller cases, since you need room for the third fan in your case.

Very good boss, we always advise you guys to let us look at your build before you order

Sorry TWP, most times we endup saving people money, but if you want the parts with the proven track record, its gonna cost a bit more, IMHO at the end if you have the money, they are very worth it.

I can say after reading every suggestion to various people each day during school I've completely given up my liquid cooling fantasy and have pretty much sworn to get a Noctua for the dreadnaught i plan on building.

I can agree on the LC fantasy. Before all this I figured it was a necessity for overclocking. I learnes a lot both the good and bad sides of LC. This hopefully will be hassle free. Now I can start saving for my Subaru

Yea I been reading a lot on here and I seem to see a lot of DST4ME. I value his/her input
