CPU and mobo aren't compatible. socket 1155 VS 1150. Also that is a very expensive mobo to begin with anyway. You could spend half of that unless you plan on going SLI in the future.
You don't really need 16GB of RAM unless you are definitely going to be video editing. Even though I'm not sure you'd even need it then.
Do you really need 5TB of storage space??
Have you tried putting this together on hardwareversand? Could be cheaper.
Edit: I would put a build together but I'm in work

Thanks, I'm a building virgin so mistakes will be copious! I was planning on going SLI in the future.You don't really need 16GB of RAM unless you are definitely going to be video editing. Even though I'm not sure you'd even need it then.
Would 8GB be enough?Do you really need 5TB of storage space??
This is just being greedy but I have huge amounts of photos, music and videos accumulated over the years so it probably will be used....eventually :pac:Have you tried putting this together on hardwareversand? Could be cheaper.

No, but I will and thanks for the quick reply and help.0 -
To be honest, you're spending a LOT of money but not getting your money's worth, if you get what I'm saying. If I was spending €2000 I would be expecting a lot more out of it.
8GB of RAM is plenty for nearly everyone.
5TB is too much
Get one drive now, and get another in the future if you need it.
Do you really need the 240GB SSD as well? SSD should mainly be used for your Windows boot drive, and possibly a couple of games. Not every game needs to be stored on it. Only the ones that will actually benefit from the added speed such as FPS. Most people tend to go for 120GB.0 -

Of course I was just showing what he could get for his full budget.
I don't see the rig pushing much more than 550w max when highly overclocked. That's assuming 100% load on both gpu's and the cpu which will rarely happen. It will draw more from the wall of course as all psu's do.
Huh.. I could've saved myself a few euro so by getting a small PSU apparently Got an 850W for my build.. on the way to me now 0 -

Just wondering how would a single 7950 cope with the 1440p? Would you get playable fps?
I'm asking so if I need to get both at the same time or spread out my purchases
Sorry to hijack op's thread
Depends on the game and the settings. By all means a single card could handle 1440p but you would sacrifice MSAA (Not that you really need it) and turn settings down to Med and you should still have very goos frame rates.
Can't speak from experience yet as my Two 7950's haven't arrived yet, nor my 1440p monitor 0 -

2 7950s will demolish 1440p, provided thre is minimal micro-stutter (if that even affects you - and if it does, hopefully AMD's end of month fix is actually a fix).0 -
