PLANNED BUILD:
ASUS X99-S
Intel i7 5820 Haswell E
Kingston HyperX Pred DDR4 2666QC 16GB
ASUS GTX 980 4GB (ref)
Samsung 850 Pro 512GB
WDRed NAS HDD 3TB
Seasonic Platinum Series 660W
Lite On Ext. DVD EBAU 108 (only occasional use)
CASE: ? (Too bad Caselabs cant be had in Denmark).
COOLER: ? Suggestions are very welcome.
App. $3200 with a $400 case included. This is the 4th machine I will build for this good friend of mine. Last one made it 6 years (still going actually!) A new record! This new rig will be build with the following in mind:
GPU and SSD (m.2) upgrade down the line. Plus a new monitor at some point, most likely 27" 2560x1440.
Main doubts are SSD and Cooler. Also is it a good idea to buy now and not in mid December? He needs it now.
Input is much appreciated
