honestly, i understand why this guy didnt give a description, no one reads it and understands half of what is put there. and the part choices make it look like something this powerful was needed. if someone buy 3.5TB of storage and runs the x79 platform, they probably need it for a good reason...
Yeah I really don't understand why this is -3... I like it, very future proofed, lots of ram for the nex 5 - 10 years, lots of power for additional gpu's and such. I like all the SSD storage too, I bet you can fit lots on those, cables aren't bad. Good job
The only thing in this build that I disagree with is the 670's. You could have got 2 7970's or 280x's for around the same price, and would have gotten a noticeable performance boost. However, everything else seems in place.
Overkill on the storage. No one needs 3TB. Also, getting Samsung Evo 840 series would be cheaper than the Intel SSDs. You could have went with a less wattage PSU. 32 GBs on RAM is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overkill. I don't know why you got 2 670s too.
Movies, Music, and Programs; That pretty much does it....Its part of my FTP server. You never know when i need to see mighty ducks on my phone over seas hahah.
It depends what people are into. Music and video files can take up tons of storage. I have a friend from school who had 3 4TB drives fill up with music/movies/etc
This is not a "terrible build" by any means. OP probably could have spent his money better but without a description you're a bit quick to make a judgement
I didn't say its a bad build I said its bad if he bought all this stuff this year since all that stuff is older. Plus the cable management could use some work.
Without a description we have no idea when this was built.
The 700 series for NVIDIA didn't come out til may of this year (I believe) so he might have bought them before then. Even so the 670s aren't bad cards at all.
Thats the point. Ill change my rating if he had a description. Could have been free for all we know. For now why buy a 670 today (Since thats all we know) If the 280x is better and cheaper or a 770 or why even sli and just go 780????. Plus whats with 32 gigs or ram? Is this gaming is this programming is this what? Its stupid cause we are just guessing.
and you are guessing...no description. If the op was buying this stuff the other day it doesn't make seance plus why no ivy e? This build needs a description.
You're right I'm guessing but I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt until a description says otherwise. The fact that you said this is a terrible build just isn't correct. Yes he possibly could've gone with some different choices an allocated money differently but the parts he has are powerful and will perform well nonetheless.
Did you take a look at the cable management? In a case that HAS cable management options; good ones too; complete lack of respect - seems chucked together with out much care,
Overpriced GPU's & HDD, Overkill PSU
800W would suffice.
