Velox Customisation

Hi !

So, first, I'm planning to buy a Digital Storm Velox with this config --> /configurator.asp?id=2017608 (I can't put the full link sorry) <-- to play in 1440p @ 165hz (Dual Screen Asus Rog PG279Q) and also work a lot.

So my questions are can I change the fans to Corsair ML Pro RGB without buying other things ? And how many fans are they (that I can change) ?

Also, I'll may wait a bit before buying cuz I could put a i9 9900k as the processor. Btw, what is better 1080 ti SLI or Titan XP ?

I've also made another config with an i9 9700x and a Titan XP (every other things are the same, only the Memory, not the Ram, are not).

I'm a bit confused and open to others proposition (with a ~5300$ budget) but only with the Velox (I love so much this case).

Hi !
Thank you very much for your tips.

Don't you think that 1080ti is not powerful enough to run every games in ultra at 165 fps and 1440p ? I'm not really sure...

I also want a PC that can be good for at least 5 years.

Btw should I wait for a RTX2080 ?

Anyway thank you a lot for your time and your advices !

That config # gave me a base i7 Velox build for $1720.

The 1080 Ti is powerful enough to run all games at high settings at 1440p. It's designed to handle 4k, though not optimized in all games, and that's twice the pixels. The framerate may vary mainly because of the optimization of the game, but it will usually be well over 100 frames per second.

Should you wait for the 2080? It didn't seem that you would want to, but I definitely would at this stage. To miss the next gen by a couple of months would not be my style, but then, I am very patient.

The i9 9900 is a very impressive chip, but sources are saying it won't be out until first quarter next year. If this rig is primarily for gaming, it will not be worth waiting for. Almost all games run on the first two cores. The coding must allow for users without the latest and greatest to be able to play the game so they can sell more games.

The day may come that games will utilize a third core, but not soon. The six-core i7 8086 you've chosen will run any game full bore at up to 5GHz with 3 cores to spare if that day ever comes. It is VERY safe to say no game will ever max out that CPU in the next 5 years. Unless you are into very CPU intensive video/music encoding/editing, and want your wait times next to nothing, the two extra cores in the 9900k won't mean much at all, and your chip is already faster than it needs to be.

If you wait for the 2080, and go with the i7 8086 and the 32 GB of RAM, you'll be as future proof as you could need to be without breaking the bank, IMO.

Originally posted by N41 Hi ! Ok I've understood, but knowing my work is in web developpement, so is that setup powerful enough ? Anyway thanks for the advices.

PS: sorry, the setup I meant was /configurator.asp?id=2018598 with an i9 9900k or a RTX2080
