Doing a New Build- Will it Work?

[CheesyPooffs]

Hey, everyone.
So to start with, I've nvr done a custom build like this before. I got the components picked out but im not sure if theyll play nicely with each other.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Intel Core i7-5820K Processor
Corsair Hydro H100i GTX Liquid Cooler
G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB DDR4 2400MHz
ASRock X99 OC Formula Motherboard
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Edition
Crucial MX100 512GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Antec HCG-850M Modular ATX 850W PSU
Zalman H1 Automatic Heat Ventilation Full Tower

Let me know if you guys think I'll have any problems going forward with this. Thank you for taking the time to look it over! Much appreciated!

What's your cooler? What's your hard drive? What's your case?

I just edited my original post.

What's your hard drive? The motherboard looks expensive but it's waterproof? Wow. Makes sense with the water cooling but I'm not sure it's really worth it. The case will fit it though.

Yeah, Corsair already has a policy where they will cover any costs from damage done by their liquid cooling products. It's fairly generous from what I've read.

OP you can get a general idea of how to provide info about the build by reading this Thread - http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=80121

I think im just gonna go with a seagate hdd for now then get a SSD a little later on.

 

[maddogchen]

It's kinda crazy to put so much money into that build and not do a SSD.

 

[CheesyPooffs]

yea thats true. Ill probably just get one.

You're also overshooting your PSU needs by a ton. A 5820K and a 980Ti need, at most, a decent 600 watt PSU. I would highly recommend looking into something like a nice SeaSonic 620 watt PSU unless there are some high power draw items you aren't putting in your post.

Well I mainly want somethin around there so if i decide to expand i wont have to go out and buy a new one

 

[nsafreak]

Unless you are planning to do a quad 980Ti system or a dual 980Ti with a heavy duty custom liquid cooling solution down the road you're still way overshooting it. If you want to have some room for expansion that's fine but I wouldn't go more than 850 watts.

ok ill dial it back lol. Probly go with an 850w then. Thanks
