Looks like you know just how to build what you want. Wouldn't hurt to bump up to the H115i PRO cooler just for the extra, but it's not totally necessary, if you have a reason for the smaller radiator. Otherwise, good job!

thank you for you input!
I bought this build yesterday...
I didnt know about this forum that I could post my build...
def want to see if i can upgrade... i'll contact DS later today and see if they can add the bigger cooler/fans


again big thanks for you time and input!

Well done Funnel-Designs!   Your editing work should be a LOT more enjoyable now using this well equipped build, and (wink) after the work is all done...you will have to try some gaming on this rig to see how well this rig can fly!

Now for the hardest part....the wait...lol.   It will be worth it!


Hopefully DS will install your 32 GB RAM as a 2 X 16 GB kit.... That would leave 2 open RAM slots for you to easily just add more RAM if you find the need for your professional editing work in future.   

Excellent choices. You will be very pleased.

Normally battery powered wireless devices like mouse or keyboard use a small plug in USB dongle that handles comms between pc and the peripheral device.   You should know that in gaming, reaction speed being considered kind of crucial, wired is always going to be faster and more dependable than wireless.

after thinking about this... I upgraded to 64GB!...lol I had DS install it. adding this pushed me over to $4008... but that was good because I saved $400



I was stuck in STAGE 2 because the standard cases were back-ordered... DS HOOKED me up with an upgrade White Case. It's actually the one i wanted but did want to pay for it.

My computer shipped! Should have it next week (thursday)

QUESTION: Do you know what type, how many, what size SSDs my computer can hold? I ordered...1TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS.

3 SSDs?

Storage Set 1: 1x SSD M.2 (1TB Samsung 970 EVO PLUS) (NVM Express)
Storage Set 2: - No Thanks
Storage Set 3: - No Thanks

Lol...now you have all the RAM you will ever need in that cool white Velox !   Glad it’s on the way...

Your MSI motherboard can handle two M.2 NVME SSD ....these plug into ports right on the board.    About half the size of a pocket comb, they lay flat & plug in on one end and one screw holds down the other end.    (so you can add one additional m.2 NVME SSD...)

That mobo has six total SATA III open ports for hard drives or SATA III SSD.     Your Velox case places those flat on the back side of the case.
Your DS Velox case info says there is room back there for :...all 6 to be normal size 2.5” SATA III SSD, or for a combination of 2x SATA III SSD and a max of 3x traditional 3.5” SATA III Hard drives.

About X-Box controllers...I don’t do console gaming, but my forum pal Snaike above mentioned his is a wireless X-Box controller so I think yes you can...lol.

Monitors....For graphic design you will need IPS type monitors for best accurate color quality and best coverage of the Adobe color spectrum.
For gaming you should pick a NVidia G-Sync tested and approved IPS monitor from NVidia’s approved list on heir website.   Dell, Asus and maybe LG can be good for both your pro and gaming needs.   See the linked list below....sort list by IPS.   The 27” Asus PG279Q IPS 2560 x 1440P 160 Hz G-Sync panel is well regarded here, and the 34” Dell Alienware AW3418DW   IPS 3440 x 1440P 120 Hz G-Sync curvy panel is also a top choice.

thank you in advanced!

thanks for the quick reply!

i got my computer last week but still have not plugged it in because i dont have a monitor...lol!

i thought i could use my Apple monitor but, i cant.

i picked up the other Samsung Evo 970 plus, a new corsair mouse and the k95 keyboard.

now i just have to pick a monitor.

this is on sale...
PG279Q 27” IPS 2K/1440P G-Sync $499

I can't find where you are seeing that monitor for $499. It's a $700 monitor that began life at $800 that rarely dips by much. Be sure of your seller, and jump on it at this price. It's an excellent monitor.
