Limited posts I’ve clicked on says they want people with multiple transactions.

I prolly shouldn’t be in such a hurry anyway

They had relatively low hours. I'm going to run raid10 most likely with my 4 4tb drives

Hes got a Fractal Define R4 case and a 750 W Power Supply.

He managed to snag a brand new Titan Xp from Nvidia.

Yall think hes okay with a 750 W Power Supply? He said hes not trying to OC. I personally think he should get an 850 W PS from Seasonic or EVGA.

I'm just using Intel's software raid. I'm honestly not all that worried about losing data off these drives. It'll be mostly Plex files anyway that'll be backed up to my 8tb external HDD.

He had that ^

He ended up buying a Corsair HX1200, which probably was a little overkill for his build, but it will give him some room in case he decides to SLI, watercool, upgrade to an i9, etc..

EDIT: We put everything together last night, and it booted up on the first try into the BIOS

The Noctua Air Cooler is fricking huge though. We had to slightly elevate one of the fans because the Corsair Vengeance memory didnt clear it. The fan still covers the space of the heatsink, and so far temps look pretty decent.

My main has an AX1200i and it is barely enough at times. But I also have 12fans , D5 pump and OC.

If he plans on going SLi in the future. Its not a bad choice.
