Thanks to Bubbleawesome, I modded his build. PC-build

 

That's a great build but why do you need 6tb of space? The case is ok I prefer the Corsair 750D. I know it is bigger but you have better cable management, better airflow, and a crap load of space inside. That power supply is great. I have that verson but the 750 watt version. I would prefer the Corsair RM1000 psu because they come with flat ribbon shaped cables for better cable management. The ssd is good but I prefer getting the 256gb version but two of them for raid 0.

 

Do you really need 16gb of ram, 8gb is more than enough. I have 16gb of ram and I never get past 5gb with multiple programs open, a couple games and very many tabs open in chrome.

 

That is also what I forgot to mention. Get 8gb of ram at 2133 MHz instead of 16gb at 1866 MHz. Just use the price of the 16gb for more performance

 

But 16gb sounds better so its worth it.

 

It SOUNDS better but it doesn't mean it is.

 

That is like saying Alienwares look cool, so its worth it. 16gb is way too overkill, unless you are editing raw 4k videos.



-EDIT-
Anyways back on topic, I think this build would be better. Raid 0 on the two 3tb drives will be faster than a single 6tb. The price of closed looped watercoolers isn't worth it for >10% better performance, when a good air cooler will rival most watercoolers for a much lower price. Not all games support SLI, so a single faster gpu is always better, but I was able to squeeze an extra 980 for when they do.

thats not how it works (in fact 16GB is generally overkill)

i see no problem with having tons of hdd space, for one you'll never have to uninstall anything(except viruses and stuff of course) for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time

 

Just making an observation, you're hdd is a NAS drive, not if it would really make a difference but just to be save you may want a regular hdd. As for the RAM discussion you would use 16 gb of ram before you would ever use faster ram. Faster ram other than some software and editing is never utilized and if you plan on only gaming and general use, maybe you are a tab whore and have 30 tabs open at once, then 16 gb of ram could be useful. Or even better yet run multiple games at once?? Plus ram speed doesn't change the price of the ram but much at all so you could get 1866 or 2133mhz 16 gb of ram and just be set for the future. And also another point of getting 16gb of ram would be how beautiful it would look in you're system.

 

16GB RAM because I want to render video while playing games. As for the HDD, I hate running out of space, so I think it's better overkill then not enough, as for it being NAS, it was the cheapest 6TB one on pcpartpicker.

Who says 16GB is overkill

(imported from here)

It's useful for 80 tabs of internet browsing, Unity, 3DSMax, BeamNG, Visual Studio, Audacity, Camtasia, and Paint.NET ... all at once.

 

Unless this is your workflow, then you don't need more than 8gb of ram. Multiple tabs of chrome, two games open, streaming, illustrator, photoshop, after effects, premeire pro, cinema 4d, 3ds max, solidworks, skype, steam, and other background tasks only used 10.5gb. Get 8gb of ram and if you are constantly running out of ram get another 8gb kit, until then I would suggest 8gb of ram. I wish I would of bought 8gb of ram instead of 16gb and spent the extra money on a better gpu.

 

It gets very annoying when I get the "You are low on memory" warning when I do my "on the fly" video editing where I have the game open at the same time as rendering a ram preview in AE.

To be honest AE will use as much ram as possible whilst rendering so even 32GB won't be sufficient.

 

people who aren't running 80 tabs (which i could probably do on 8GB), unity, 3dsmax, beamng, visual studio, audacity, camtasia, and paint.net all at once

 

Nice build. Whoever's build you based it off of was good at this.
Only thing is, those blue sticks might clash with the red mobo. There are similar red sticks of RAM or blue mobos. idk, that just bothers me.

 

Changed the RAM to a 8GB, it's still green, but not as noticeable as before.
