kinda overkill wouldn't you say? lol

 

[RagingThunder]

o and if ur rich i wud do the 1k Xeons in an SR-2 motherboard with 48 gigs of ram

 

[Beezie]

if your going to do it its better to over do it then to re do it dont you think?

have looked at the SR-2 but then id rather get a 980x i dont benchmark or fold so

 

[DuckieHo]

Do you really need 12GB?

Getting a single 120GB C300 is better.

This.

What is this system going to be used for?

 

[Beezie]

no 12gb is not something i "need"

there is so much conflicting info about the SSD some claim 2 smaller ones in RAID0 is way better then a single 120gb so i am a bit lost on that point Duckie

 

[Beezie]

System will mainly be used for Gaming and photo editing on the side

I've seen multiple places where the 950 bottlenecked 3 480s. If your going TriSLI you may want to lay down the cash for a better processor. I'd say just go ahead and lay down for the 980x, or ditch a 480 and do dual SLI. I'd say go dual sli and spend the saved money on a full custom water loop that includes your 480s

All that and no ssd? lol

edit: nvm missed it but ya def overkill much?

never heard anything like that about the 950, interesting info but about the cooling as stated in the first post i am going to get a fully integrated water cooling set up with with cpu all gpu`s and mobo so thats fine

Overkill? well yea there is no way you would need 12gig ram or 3cards but if you have the money why not do an investment in something you love , if one want to get a high end build its up to them what they want to spend money on

 

[Beezie]

Swapped the 2smal SSD`s to a larger C300 128Gb

 

[Beezie]

after asking around i will drop the TRI SLI for a normal SLI to not experience micro shuttering in games
