Hello,
I'm looking for some advice from you fine folks over here at Hexus again for a rig intended for audio production and gaming.
Here's what I have in mind so far. I'm aware noise could be an issue on this build and may not be the most desirable when listening through monitors but I'm open to suggestions all around.
I was thinking about picking up a Scan 3XS Bundle first of all because I like the idea of an all inclusive warranty and getting a well tuned OC without hassle on my end. I understand this limits me to be to specific components and I've heard that the Corsair closed loop water coolers can be a bit noisy but I really don't enjoy the look of (and cleaning out) big heatsinks on the cpu.
Scan Bundle:
- i7 6700k @4.6GHz
- Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
- Corsair Hydro H100i V2 (Could throw SP120 Quiet editions on here if recommended)
- 32GB (4x8GB) Corsair DDR4 Vengeance LPX Black, 2666MHz, CAS 16-18-18-35, 1.2V
Other stuff:
- Corsair Vengeance C70 (will move case around a little bit, good size and I like the look of it - will replace window with full clear transparent acrylic)
- GTX 1070 (not an FE edition - so still up in the air pending third party benchmarks)
- 1TB sata 7200rpm hard drive (haven't decided)
- 128GB 840EVO (From old computer)
- 500GB Samsung hd502hj (from old computer)
- OCZ OCZ600MXSP-UK ModXStream Pro 600W ATX Power Supply (From old computer)
Will be picking up a new external audio interface, but I am still undecided on that. For the computer itself excluding the re-used components mentioned I'm trying to keep it ~£1200
If you have any suggestions or there is anything missing let me know.
Cheers,
Dave
