i run on a 2560x1440p 27 inch monitor and i tend to do a lot of multitasking though streaming, gaming and ripping my movies are primarily what i do.

As for the SSD i won't be putting anything on it but the OS so i don't see why i'd need better than 120gb.

As for the GPU, in my system i'm replacing i had it built with SLI 580's back in the day and it seemed like overkill then, these days very few games seem to push a 980 let alone 2 980's which are overkill. The memory needs to be a minimum 16gb because i do multitask and constantly using over 10gb of ram at any given time and that will definitely be going up over time as it always has with games needing more vram and ram.

The CPU is to make sure i have a high end CPU years from now, i like to build a PC that lasts a minimum of 5 years with only the GPU ever needing upgraded. WHy not use the Hydrolux cooling? and if not the 1200w PSU then what would you suggest?

Well you guys got me thinking and this is the configuration i went with when placing my order.

It is when you're not installing any games on the system drive, that's what the 500gb 10,000 rpm drive is for. I don't trust SSD's for gaming, i have had 2 fail on me that i would keep 1 or 2 games installed on because i do game everyday.

Originally posted by FrankW This is a lot better balanced than your first system. I think you are going to like it a lot. Frank

I agree.. kind of what I would have considered IF I went for a water cooled system.. I opted for Air Cooled and chose a different Case because of that choice.. To be honest the more parts you have in any computer even a well built one the more that can and often will go wrong.

I play two of the biggest resource hogs in terms of Disk space WoW, with tons of Addon's and Sims 3 all expacs and tons of custom stuff , in addition to just adding Sims 4 these games use up a lot of space..

The one thing that I do not do that is a space hog is store videos, and photos. As for Photos I am still a very much Old School photographer I can not even afford the digital camera that I would need to replace and do what my film camera does for the price of that digital cameral I could have bought three of the Velox Systems I just got and still would only have the camera body and one lense...   SO no need to consider a hard drive for my photography need unless that camera comes down in price a lot...

Enjoy your system I think you will like it

Hows the system treating you?
