Going to say this up front. I want to get the Assassin case for the looks and to try and save some space.
That said, on to the specs. Specifications:Comments? And does DS (or anyone) have any pictures of a similar system? I'd like to "see" what I would be getting. Especially concerned with the radiator and where it would fit in and how. |

thats not a good setup at all.
you don't want all that in a assassin its too cramp. getting pc parts, case included is not about looks, first and foremost you need to look at performance and space. you want tri sli, I would not recommend assassin to you for tri sli, get a case with more room and much better airflow or your load temps are gonna be high on the gpus. save that build and give me its ticket number. in the meantime this is much better: Here you go Ticket# 632699 --- $4,717 (To see this build click here) Copy of Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Cooler Master 942 HAF X Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz (Unlocked CPU for Extreme Overclocking) (Six-Core) Motherboard: ASUS Rampage IV Extreme X79 (Intel X79 Chipset) (Features USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s) System Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 1200W Corsair Pro Gold Series (CMPSU-1200AX) (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (120GB Solid State (By: Intel) (Model: 320 Series) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: 1x (1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (Model: Black Edition) Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 3x SLI Triple (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB (PhysX) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: AIR: Stage 2: Noctua NH-D14 Extreme Performance (Does NOT fit on the regular EVGA X58 3X SLI) H20 Tube Color:- Not Applicable, I do not have a FrostChill or Sub-Zero LCS Cooling System Selected Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Red) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Stage 2: Overclock CPU 4.5GHz to 4.8GHz (Requires Pro or Deluxe Series Motherboard) Boost Video Card: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost Memory: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my memory Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows 7 CD) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 5 Year Limited Warranty Ask DS specifically for this fan to be added to the top, so you endup with 4 x 200mm fans: haf 200mm non led fan Ask for vcore lower then 1.4 for your oc.

Ok, so how about swapping around to a larger case and going with the full LC since there's more room?

thats ok but its not great, go back and look at my config, notice I have the 320 for ssd, you went back to 510, thats a mistake, I went with 1200w ax, you want back to strider, again mistake, I removed the killer card, you went back to it, mistake, they are all things that you don't need and/or make zero difference to performance, take the killer card for example, its difference is needle in a haystack, aka you won't notice nothing from it, the 510 where it counts is slower then the 320 and its does not have the track record or warranty of 320, I can go on but what I'm saying is that there is a reason why you don't see it in my builds.

Now pay attention and notice everything that is missing in my build from yours, the reason its missing is because you don't want it and its a waste of your money, but if you have questions about them then ask. Now I will say this, I left a few things in there that are extra, for example the 3GB version of 580 is not needed, also I changed the 3960x with 3930k cause you won't notice the difference, but if you prefer to have the extra cache (which does not make big difference) then put the 3960x back on my config. |
