No worries. I suggested something similiar to another forumer two to three weeks back. Don't know why suddenly everybody wants suggestions for a 20k PC hahaha.

Haha I'm just stating because if you want mining for the same price you can get two lower end PCs (not that those are cheap but still lower than the monster you're getting).with triple 290 (Non-X) each and do a whole lotta mining. A high end CPU/mobo does not benefit gaming by much either.

But since you said you have extra (congrats on getting the extra), and its a dream of yours, then by all means go ahead and get a world class PC.

But please go and visit Cyntrix or APES themselves. Getting a quote is all good but you need to sit down and discuss specifics, especially for water cooling. Fittings amd tubing size is important, plus placement of pumps and reservoirs. The components I suggested might not be available as well. So go make an appointment with them.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions.

P.S the setup I gave you is kinda my dream setup as well. Probably in 6-8 years time after I graduate and have a stable job.

You should have seen the system with 10 MSI Z87 Mpowers and triple 280X's each. All in one rack. Bloody hell hahaha.

Bitcoin is basically online currency. A certain amount is released everyday and you use your PCs to go find, or rather 'mine', these coins. That's a simple explanation. How it's traded or it's history you can go Wikipedia and read up. =)

Bloody hell. I wish I can get enough commission to buy a 20k PC as well. Only managed to get a 1/3 there after 5 months of part time work hahahah. Still buidling my PC too. (P.S If you have some left over cash or components please donate some. Hehehe)

Nah, it's fine. The PC is yours after all. And since it's a lifelong dream, why not?

Yeah been told that a lot. But I only have one 290X which is primarily for gaming so see how lah, maybe next time when I can build mining rigs. My dad will kill me if I left the rig running all day.

Has anyone here used Superflower PSUs before? Still can't decide on which 1000W model to get. Still stuck between Cooler Master V1000, Corsair RM1000, Seasonic X1050. Now people are recommending me Superflower Leadex and Silverstone. Aiks.

Hmmm, that was my original plan before a couple of guys sais that the V1000 is not good as even though it's a seasonic OEM, it's still CM branding. @.@

Will check the SF 1000W platinum models. I heard it's ripple is amazingly low.

Thanks man.

Aiks, looks like Superflower isn't the only one skimping on capacitors. So is corsair, or at least the company that makes it. Even for their higher end RM850.

I think I'll end up with seasonic looking at the way things are.

Yes it's enough, my friend is using the same CPU with a MSI MPower Max and a overclocked Palit GTX680, in a single cpu/gpu water cooling loop. It'll do fine with your GTX760. The 4130 has hyper threading as well.

Samsung Evo 840. With RAPID tech it's bloody damn fast. But Plextor M5P is also quite nice. A bit more expensive though.

Has anybody here slapped an AIO paired with a NZXT G10 bracket on their GPUs yet? Really wanna see local performance benchmarks and temps before I commit.

Hahahah looks like you got capslocked to hell today.

As he stated, it's for Steam OS. So light computing and gaming. IIANM.

Haha I know, just stating his usage. But I'm really interested in these tiny steam OS builds.

EDITED.

Hmmmm, if you wanna go 4-6K, I'll go for the middle ground.

CPU             AMD FX-8350                 699
PSU            Seasonic X650        599
Casing         Corsair Obsidian 350D       345
Graphics       Sapphire 290 Tri-X       1699
RAM           GSKILL RipjawsX F3-14900CL10D-16GBXL 559
Motherboard     Asus Sabertooth 990FX       699
Boot SSD       Samsung EVO 840 250GB       589

If you're willing to spend more you can get the AMD FX-9370, plus a Cooler Master Nepton 140XL for your system for an additional RM600-700 in total.. But it'll still be around 6K.

It would really help if you could post some pictures. And yeah,the fans are supposed to spin after you turn the PC on.

Hahahahahhahahha DUDE. You haven't plugged in the eight pin and six pin power cables yet. You need to connect those to your GPU and so it can draw power from your PSU. It's right there on the right hand hand side of you GPU. You cannot power your card via PCI alone.

Do you know how to route the cables and install it?

Edit: it should look like this.

Yes plug in the 8 pin and 6 pin power cables. Then you can let your 280X rip.

Hahaha. It happens to the best of us. But we learn and nice on.

Hahahahahhaha. Haiyo you ah.

I was thinking your fried your GPU or something. Turned out it wasn't even connected to a power source.

Anyways congrats. Play some high settings 1080p games and let it rip.

Nope. Reason being is that games like BF4, which you listed out as a game you're playing, actually takes advantages of better, faster and bIgger RAM. Your original 8GB was at the recommended minimum threshold. And it'll serve you well in future proofing as well for an additional RM150-200+ only. Moreover, SSD only serves to decrease program load wait times. Like a turbochraged HDD.

Yeah, Seasonic X series is a damn good gold rated PSU series. Since you're only using one GPU you can get the X650.

GPU is up to you. Do you want to spend an extra RM600-800 for an extra 5-10fps? The answer to that question will help you decide.
