So I've noticed, many people are getting new gaming rigs and some people suggested that we should have a topic to show them off. So here's your chance.Post...

I am playing all games on my gtx970 at ultra settings with stable FPS (shadow of mordor test gives best:131 worst:54 fps) for me the 970 is working great and i hope its price will drop so i can get another one sooner for SLI

There was not much else to buy. It was either that or one that was around 400-500W. I think PCandParts had run out of PSUs when I was building.

My new set of peripherals:

Poor choice of keyboard, the Razer Blackwidow uses Kailh switches (chinese cherry clones) instead of original German Cherry MX switches, you could have gone with the Corsair K70, the K70 RGB if you like RGB, the Logitech G710+, the G910 or the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid, TK, Pro or Rapid-i, all of those are better than the blackwidow as they use Cherry MX switches, or Romer-G (made by Omron) in case of the G910.

where did you get the HeadSet from ?

what PowerSupply would you recommend for my high-end rig(similar to NAM's)?

GPU: Nvidia MSI GTX 980 g1 gaming 4gb

Case: probably "storm-trooper"

*Parts listed have been already ordered, I will probably post pics upon arrival in Lobby<shipping from abroad thread.

Another q: should I get a GPU cooler? And what case would you recommend with great cooling.

Thanks in advance.

@makhoder, its available on PCandParts, I will get it this week

I got this in PM if anyone's interested.

Alloushi wrote I have the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 and the Corsair CX600M Both would be useful in your build hence the motherboard is a beast and the CX600M is a 600 Watt sufficient PSU.
Both items are brand new and got it from italy, I need to sell em so I'm selling em cheaply.
pcandparts.com sell the MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Mobo for $196.6 TTC, I'll sell mine for $170
and the corsair CX600M is a reliable PSU but isn't available in lebanon bought it for around 90 euros, I'll sell it for $110.
I also have the MSI Radeon R9 280 in case you're intrested and the cooler master hyper 212 EVO air cooler.

Trying to stray off the current topic margin.

Do you think pcandparts "Rendering Station" is a good deal? Or would it be better to switch some parts for some others?

Sup3r

@Die_Kapitan Nvidia Rux.

Fortunately another q: any idea where to get (Cooler Master RS-850-SPM2 Silent Pro M2 850W) couldn't find it at pc&parts.

Hey guys, this topic has been cleaned up. Please try to stick to posting and discussing rigs. Be nice. We're all friends here.

@Sup3r

CPU: Haswell 4.0GHz - i7-4790K (OK)

CPU Cooler: Arctic freezer 13 Limited edition (200 watt) < stolen from NAM's rig ;p (OK)

GPU: Nvidia MSI GTX 980 g1 gaming 4gb (OK - No Need for a GPU Cooler - Maxwell Architecture is Heat Efficient + the GPU has an efficient cooling system -Been Using the MSI GTX 970 )

RAM: 16GB/ 2x8 (1600 mhz) (Brand ?)

SSD: Samsung SSD Pro 512gb (OK) / Crucial 100 MX 512 GB is another Good Choice

HDD: WD Black 1tb (Chose the Black Edition 64 MB Cache)

Motherboard: haven't decided yet, maybe "Asus z97 K" (Good Choice go with the Asus Z97 K Been Using it in My High End Gaming System - Note It doesn't Support SLI only AMD's Cross Fire -The Z97 A Supports Both but on either way I am not an SLI/Cross Fire Fan - So I went with the "K")

Monitor: Multiple, one being ( Asus VG248QE), the other is just a stock LG. - If you are aiming for LG LG 24MP56HQ Wide 23.8" LED IPS Full HD Monitor is very good for its value ; How ever for the 980 I recommend to go with 1440p monitor however they are still with high price in Lebanon) or go with a double 1080p monitors as you have mentioned.

PSU: I'll Go with a Thermal Take 850 W Tough Power Grand Series Fully Modular (80Plus God Certified) instead of the Cooler Master Slient Pro M2 - in PSUs I Prefer Thermal Take on Cooler Master (Personal Experience)

Case Choice (?)

Go with a Genuine Windows 8.1

Go with a Good Gaming Mouse / Keyboard Setup and not regular Ones (A4tech Bloody Editions and not very expansion and good especially the Mouse - A4tech ZL5 Sniper - 8600 Dpi Laser Engine )

Thanks Techguru, I like your informed posts, updated my original rig post in this thread with more specifications.

NAM recommended the PSU from his rig as being super silent whilst up to performance, being the reason I choose it, just noticed it's no longer available at pc&parts, I guess I'll research the one you posted, I hope it's silent. in-regards to the case, I'm thinking storm-trooper, don't like how it's designed tho... prefer a classy approach over a gaming one. Sure with good dust ventilation and cooling along modern case features, a bonus for SSD docks. Unfortunately -if I'm observing correctly- at pc&parts their's only storm-trooper available as a high-end case.

I'll keep your advise about keyboard/mouse, prefer a mouse with a simple two buttons.

@Sup3r

Well my high end gaming system is very similar to the one you are aiming to build and I am using a Thermal Take Revo Gen Case with 2 x 22 cm Fans , 1 x 14 Fans (Rear) , and One 1 x 12CM Fan for on the Side for Extra VGA Cooling + a None Stock CPU Fan (Contact 21).
On enthusiastic gaming of 1080p / 1440p (DSR) with Ultra/High Setting – The system runs very silent and cool (I frequently Monitor Temperatures and Voltages/ Amps)
Thermal Take Tough Power 850W Series – Fully Modular (http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_Specification.aspx?id=C_00002130) Vs Cooler Maser 850 W Silent Pro M2

Fully Modular vs Semi Modular
80 Plus Gold Certified vs 80 Plus Silver Certified (87-92% efficiency @ 20-100% load vs 85 – 88% efficiency @20%-100% Load)
140 mm Fan vs 1350mm Fan
