I am discussing with a local computer shop to build a custom gaming system for me (I don't really have the time or patience or expertise to build my own). I was looking at some of the boutique online suppliers but I wanted to spend my money locally if possible to support local business. Here is the system they are proposing:
Case: Corsair Graphite 760T Black
BD ROM: Blue ray reader
CPU cooler: Corsair Hydro H1
SSD: 2xSamsung SM951 M.2
Hard drive: 2x4TB black (RAID 0)
MB: EVGA Z170 classified
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LPX 2400
CPU: i7 6700K
PS: EVGA 1300W power supply
GPU: 1xEVGA GTX980Ti Hybrid
Thoughts or suggestions. I am not going to buy until December (waiting for my bonus to make a large purchase like this). I am looking at a gaming system primarily and would like to make the jump to 4K as part of this upgrade. I ran my last system into the ground (an E8400 based system I am currently using). I want this system to last me 5-7 years as well (with incremental upgrades where needed). Given the proposed water cooling solutions for both GPU and CPU I would be looking at some level of overclocking as well.
