Ok well you got bunch of issues, for example you don't want quad sli and even if you did it would not fit on that mobo.

lets back up, you want a system that can run 3d gaming across three 3d monitors?

(they took out the Blu-Ray player because they said there are known issues with a Blu-ray player with this Mobo) any insight on that?

Also, doesn't seem to show on the order but there is a 4th Video card as well for Quad SLI (I know you said it wasn't compatible, they seemed to disagree, so I would love some further feedback on that first as well)


The System is for 3D Work, Rendering, and Game testing (Game Dev Company)

[QUOTE=DST4ME]Well quad sli gets out performed by tri sli, I would stick to that, if you are under lc then I guess you can fit all 4 cards.

Why the tec? you understand that the gpus will be under regular lc right?

drop the upgrad fans they are loud and not needed., fan controller will not controll all your fans and its temps are not accurate, there are better freeware out there for temps and etc that we all use.

the Syndicate case is cramped we have had tec owners change case to hailstorm due to crampy-ness of the case, I would also recommend you go with hailstorm, if you want led fans on the hailstorm let me know I will show you what kind to get.

for your lc remember its not a necessity but a luxury, you don't have to have it for good temps, but if you still want lc, I would go with regular lc on both cpu and gpus, and Instead of wasting money on fans and fan controller, instead as them to use XSPC "RX" series rad with Scythe gentle typhoon fans on them, this will give you better performance with practically no noise, vs the regular lc system DS will give you.

As far as I know non of the apps you use will utilize sli, so sli would be only for gaming and for that tri sli 580 will do best IMHO.

last the ssd, 320 has better 4k speeds then 510, if you want something that is faster than 320 then go with m4, I would not go with 510.

OH ya your uv tubes need uv lighting, you have chosen blue.

I have not heard anything about bd issues with mobo, but I have not been looking for it either, to be honest as you see from my avatar, I'm more of an evga person.

your thoughts.[/QUOTI plan to have the PC on 24/7 so that's the main reason for wanting TEC the money for that isn't a worry, so unless there is something better then it I'm not concerned. (not 100% sure what you mean by the the Gpus being under regular LC... does that setup mean it will be under regular LC and TEC?

I am going to request them putting an M4 as the main drive and I also switched my build up to a new setup. let me know what you think and thank you again for all the advice/help

@DST4ME would you mind setting up the best possible build to order and then just list what I should ask them to add in? you obviously know a lot about building a high end system and you know at this point money is not an issue, I just want the best without wasting. I would really appreciate it if you wouldn't mind. and then maybe just linking the build here.
