New PC Build Help [~$5k budget]

[purplewatilla]

I've done pretty well trading crypto in the past few weeks, and have decided I should probably take some of my profit out. Can you guys tell me what a really nice build all water cooled with a titan and Intel processor would look like? Any and all help appreciated!

 

If anyone wants to give it a go and chuck us a link here:

What kind of work do you do on a pc? If you do any rendering, video, music, 3d, Threadripper would suite you much better with a slight savings to put elsewhere. If you simply game and mess around Intel would be perfect. Do you like RGB or no?  To build an accurate PC it helps to know what you intend to use it for.

if u just browse and game a bit

get ryzen

 

My build:

• i5 6600k
• gtx 950
• Noctua air cooler low profile
• Corsair 250D itx
• some pro itx mobo
• SSD / HDD
• 16GB ram

Does me just fine.

Heres my personal build (and also my recommendation)

-Case: Corsair 900D (Amazing space to do ANYTHING with watercooling)
-Mobo: Asus ROG Formula (Has a built in MoBo heat sink which is great)
-CPU: 7700k/8700k whichever you'd like.
-GPU: 1080Ti, My preferred vendor is EVGA for this.
-RAM: Corsair Vengence
-SSD: Samsung Evos (Theres no point in getting anything else)
-HDD: This is persional, I always prefer to use Western Digital. Blue, Black or Red will all be fine
-M.2: I also recommend the Samsung Evo for this as well.
-PSU: EVGA Modular PSU (probably need 600+ watts, financially it makes more sense to go for 1000.)
-Watercooling:
 -Water Block: EKWB is the best water block you could buy, It will work very well if you buy the Asus Formula because this is also a EKWB. 
 -Radiator: EKWB makes good rads, Also Alphacool (With the 900D case theres probably 5 different spaces you can fit a  radiator
 -Tubing: If this is your first custom loop do flexible tubing, once experienced you can make your own rigid. 
-Fans: Noctua

5K for a pc

[The Undefeated]

Can't think of why yoy would need to spend 5k on a new PC unless you're gonna do heavy workstation use. What are you gonna use it for, just gaming?

Looking for both the cpu and gpu do be water cooled + not have to worry about fps in new titles for a few years while being able to have 10 billion chrome tabs open while cracking hashes or mining something. Not 100% sure I'm going to do it, might just cheap out and budget build it, but I've always wanted a decent computational device.

It sounds like you're making a over rushed decision. Think about if for a while since this is not the way to go.

I won't be buying it for a while here, waiting for the new nvidia card to come out

I'm the slowest decision maker known to man, so don't worry about me too much :p 

Just wanted to see my options in this price range.

The headset you see in Pic #2 is my work headset lol, I have the HyperX Cloud Revolver and it has been the best headset I ever used, The mic was shit though (didn't even work out of box) that's why I just went ahead and got a Yeti.

I'd rip a senheiser headset with an audio technica mic for better quality ;) 

I'm personally just pumping an audio technica headset atm.

Yah I wouldn't see a reason to upgrade then, Also a side note, If you're going to have 2 separate loops (1 for GPU, 1 for CPU) You should use the Formula's loop with your CPU, if you are going to mine crypto currency I recommend getting 2 1080Tis for SLI, you will need a minimum 480mm radiator.
