Project Rift - Very much in progress
No sponsors! (Wish I had some, still time before build begins 
as if...)
Ok so short story, I just moved to Berlin from Australia. Sold my old rig there and it's time to start again right from zero, I am using a shitty $100 laptop and I need a real rig. At present this is just a bit of a working ground and a place to get input and ideas and tips from people before I confirm parts and the buying begins 
This whole thing is a work in progress because I am uncertain about some of the parts and i'm watching the parts horizon a bit. The rig is supposed to get me by as a computer before the rift arrives and be rift level powerful when it does arrive, hence the future-proofing of 3-way SLI and 1200w PSU etc.
About this Build:
Color scheme: Undetermined, Red and black are fav colours but I like the acid green biohazard thing with the green watercooling. I hope to get more creative and make this into a really awesome custom housed system at some point but for the moment it will reside in a normal case and trying to keep components black so colour can change in any direction with the colour of coolant and LED's and fans and so forth rather than having to change teh whole mobo psu etc.
On to the Components:
CPU: Intel Core i7-5820k (Don't think I need the extra PCI-E lanes?)
MOBO:
RAM: Undecided (still deciding, needs feedback)
GPU: Undecided (still deciding, needs feedback)
- 1 card expanding to 3-way SLI (GTX 970/R9 390)
- GTX 970 passmark 8,634 4GB VRAM
- R9 390 Passmark 6,639 8GB VRAM
- VRAM and SLI?
Case: ThermaltakeCore X9 (Fully modular awesome case, point out better if you want)
SSD: Have an 840 EVO which will probably be updated to a Samsung SM951
HDD: None at this point
PSU: XFX Pro 1250w
Fans: Candidates
- Thermaltake riing series
- Corsair airflow edition led fan 140mm
Water Cooling Components:
CPU Block: Undecided (still deciding, needs feedback)
GPU Block: Undecided (still deciding, needs feedback)
Radiators: Undecided will probably go with 3 x 140 rads and am looking for aluminium fin rads, help! Also probably prefer more thin rads than fewer thick rads.
