If so, don't use the motherboards onboard Raid , just do a software/Win raid/mirror. Chances are that consumer grade onboard raid isn't any better than software raid . And if you are going to raid/mirror, consider if a hybrid drive is really the best choice Of course Im just assuming youre going to mirror those 2x 4T HD's . :) |

| 1416378 | 2016-02-22 21:55:00 | No I need all the space on this machine, Probably have to add another 4TB sooner rather than later. |

| 1416379 | 2016-02-22 22:39:00 | Looks fantastic. Personally I wouldn't bother with the SSHDs. I'd go for either Seagate NAS ST4000 or WD Red Pros I just did a CAD build with a i7 6700K, Z170-D3H, 32GB RAM, Quadro K620 and a Samsung 512GB 950 Pro M.2 SSD. Damn it was fast. |

The SSHD's were a last minute addition, they sounded good. I am open to suggestions for any of the parts. |

| 1416381 | 2016-02-22 23:05:00 | The SSHD's are good if you want fast response to frequently accessed files but they don't write any better than regular drives and if you are just using them for storage there is not that much to be gained. Still they don't cost much and seem to work well. They make great boot drives for those that can't afford an actual SSD. Peronsally I use a 2 bay NAS with 4TB WD red drives in it, I like my storage to be independant of the PC. My machine has an Asus board and only a single 980 but it does have an M.2 850 EVO and a 6700K and I find it really responsive and I don't think it ever really gets pushed. It's like cruising to the supermarket in a V8, unnecessary but still cool. I also really like the M.2 drive because it means the entire working PC is attached to the motherboard - other than the PSU and graphics. Looks good, makes me jealous. |

| 1416382 | 2016-02-23 03:24:00 | For what it's worth, I run my i7-6700k at 4.4GHz. It seems to be a standard OC for people who are not into overclocking (The same for the 2.4GHz chipset OC for the memory) The other thing that surprises me is the 1200W power supply! It seems to be over the top for modern gear (but I haven't done the sums, you probably have) |

It seems to be over the top for modern gear (but I haven't done the sums, you probably have) The math is very roughly 800w needed, but I like a bit of overhead. |

| 1416384 | 2016-02-23 03:51:00 | I might drop it down to 1000w, I need to shave about $500 off the build. | DeSade (984) | ||
| 1416385 | 2016-02-23 05:40:00 | Do you really need 12GB of Video RAM? because the 980Ti matches the performance of the titan-x for a much lower price if not and 6GB is still a lot. If there's one component that's very hard to future proof it's the graphics card, buying the extreme top end over the next step down might buy you a few months extra at best (entirely opinion of course). For me personally I prefer single card solutions as there is just less hassle and expense all round and gaming is still great. Replacing my GTX980 with the equivalent every 2-3 years is still a lot cheaper than buying a pair of 980ti's. Of course our gaming preferences are likely different. |
