New pc. Ds velox?

Hey all. I was wondering if you could give me some advice on designing my new pc. I’ve designed a system below and need some feedback. My main concerns are - is the psu big enough, am I silly adding the hardline tubing as I hear it can create issues , the sa,e goes for coloured liquid, does t gunk up?

I’m from Northern Ireland so want to design a system I can have for a very long time as it’s nkt cost effective to ship a new ds pc to myself every few years, at a minimum I’d like the case to be something I have for a very long time with the components lasting a good while as well but having the ability to be updated thanks in advance


Budget:
No more than $6,000

Expectations:
I’d like a pc that performs on a ultra level on all games that’s extremely future proof and aesthetically looks very unique and beautiful

Usage:
Main usage is for gaming across 2 monitors (38’’ and 24’’ acers with plans to add a third) my main game genre is simulation focusing heavily on farming simulator and euro truck simulator / American truck simulator but play a wide array other games as well. Other uses will include general everyday use eg browsing the web, some small photo and video editing, some 3d modelling (very little though) and modding form some games

Special Needs:
I need a design that is as future proof as possible that also looks aesthetically really cool, I have a lot of auxiliary it4ms connected to my pc inc track ir, wheels, pedals , gear and joysticks somwill need plenty of ports for all this.

Originally posted by Seabasthegreat Just off the top of my head, take off the noise dampening unless its paramount to you and GPU overclock as you can do that all by yourself, theres plenty of easy programs AND i think that the GPU itself comes with an easy one. I would also recommend going to soft tubing due to the long shipping distance the PC has to go or perhaps if you have prior experience just ask DS to not put the liquid in and store it in a separate bottle/container so it doesnt leak. Your power supply is more than enough I would even go far as to say maybe a 750 is perfect. But I guess the 850 is just fine. I am interested in the lasermark you selected... Pretty sure the other guys will be along shortly though to correct or add to mine.

Thanks for your response. While I know the Corsair fans are real quiet running fans my gaming setup sits above the main family room in our house, we’ve got some fairly noisey Woden floors which seem to carry a lot of vibrations through them (if I am I’m the room and my pc upstairs boots up you would think the roof is coming down as my Logitech wheel calibrates itself, so it’s not really for noise coming off the system that would effect me using it but more I’m thinking of the family below me and the quieter system might help them.


Thanks for your advice on the cooling. I am very torn between hard and soft tubing, hard certinally looks better but everyone seems to be recommending soft. But I think coolant being bottled separately is a good idea.

I’m hoping a n 850 should future proof the system in the case more components are added or changed for bigger ones down the line

Yea I don’t see to many specs that include custom paint and things like lasermark on them but I was thinking it would be something that would give it my personal touch and make it mine. I assume the laser marks are jsut something as you would get on and iPad or something? I was just going to get something simple like my online player name (jgregg624) with some sort of quote or something

With regards to gpu overclocking, it’s a free upgrade in the holiday sale hence why it’s on the list but when does that end?

I will chime in briefly on the tubing selection and a few other things. First make sure you get a drain port added on for the hydrolux Pro whether you get hard or soft tubing, it will make future maintenance much easier when you have to flush the system(which varies depending on coolant type, usage, and a myriad of other things lol). Second with how DS uses fitting vs bends in the hardline now that creates that many more points for a leak to spring due to parts shifting during shipping etc. and last just be prepared to do maintenance on the cooling setup since it is a custom loop and not an AIO.

This is actually a really good article to read for anyone considering the Hydrolux system. I for one never thought that a drain valve was not installed by default. You would think that would be a no brainer on the companies part.

I can’t wait for it to arrive... even though that may be a while off yet haha. I might do an unboxing video and upload it to YouTube so I’ll share that if I do it, but images will defo be provided
