What video card option should I use for 7680X1440

[Zardnok]

That looks like a monster any here would be proud to own with all high end quality products. One thing I would look at is the new "Devil's Canyon" series CPUs that are essentially the same as it i7-4770 you have listed, but have better thermal material and are clocked higher. They come out on Wednesday and are definitely worth it over the standard i7 for essentially the same price.

Best of luck with your build and let us know how it turns out.

Ahh yes you mentioned that earlier as well. Will definitely spring for the Devils Canyon. I am thinking I will be assembling this in October/November so hopefully the new chip-sets will knock those prices down even further by that point.

I know I can find used SSD, HDD, PSU, and maybe even a few radiator's, so I think I will end up around $4k for the entire build which would be amazing IMO for the performance I will be getting!

I will definitely post pictures of my entire process and have videos of it in action!

True ! :thumbsup:

I would consider 1300w for 3 x R9 290 and OCed i7 5960x.



Shmee, believe me, 3 x R9 290 need at least 1300 watts and 4 x 290 needs at least a 1500watts unit.

Those are my 4 x R9 290x with an OCed i7 4930k to 4.5 Ghz. Cards are lightly OCed and this was captured during gameplay and 100% load on the 4 cards. (I have 3 pumps and 30 fans though)

And this is during heavy benchmarking:
-Lepa G 1600 (1600 watts)
-Evga SuperNova 1000G2 (1000 watts)
_________
Total: 2600 watts

I measured 1778 watts on mine with the CPU @4.8 running Firestrike Extreme.

Holy cow !

Hi Kaapstad.

Let me ask you guys another question about the flow of my loop as desinged.

As of now, I have it set as Resevoir> RAD> CPU> GPU's> RAD. My reasoning for doing this over Resevoir> CPU> RAD> GPU's> RAD was because I think it will just look "cleaner" in the case that way. From what I have read, loop order isn't nearly important as it would be in a car for example.

So I guess my question is, would it be advisable to run the loop as Resevoir> CPU> RAD> GPU's> RAD? I plan to put a mild overclock on the CPU and GPU's so performance>aesthetics

Resevoir> RAD> CPU> GPU's> RAD

Resevoir> CPU> RAD> GPU's> RAD

My advice is to visit the Cases and Cooling forum and post your questions there about loop flow. aigomorla is the resident expert on all things water cooling and will likely be along shortly after you make your post. Best of luck!
