FS: My latest Custom PC Gaming Rig $1600 - 6700k/GTX1080/1440p Panel
Up for sale is my latest build. I did this one about 4 months ago. Its a beast as usual and probably my best build to date. Its the best balance of power and performance per dollar that I could come up with. Also including a very expensive 27" 1440p 165hz panel. The price will be for both the PC and panel, no kb or mouse.
Specs:
Intel i7 6700k - OC'd to 4.6GHz stable
MSI Z170A Gaming M5 mobo
Nvidia Geforce GTX 1080 Founders Card - OC'd +200clock/+500mem
Corsair Vengenance LPX 2x8 - 16gb DDR4-3000 Ram
Corsair H100i GTX AIO liquid CPU cooler
Samsung 850 EVO 500gb M.2 SSD
Corsair RM750 Gold rated Modular PSU
Fractal Design Define S black windowed case
Windows 10 Pro - x64
The LCD Panel is an Asus ROG Swift PG279Q 27" IPS display that runs 1440p native and has Gsync and a 165hz refresh rate. Currently this is the highest performance 1440p display on the market. This panel was $900 when I bought it a few short months ago.
I have been playing with this system for a few months, but its time to move on again. As always I took great care to pick the best bang for your buck parts, leaving the big money for the parts that needed it like the GTX 1080.
This system will play any AAA title, 1440p@144hz and 165hz with little to no lowering of settings. I can play games like GTAV at 1440p and maintain 144hz with everything maxed out but the grass quality. This PC is a beast. I can completely max other games like the new tomb raider or COD Blops 3 at 1440p and get 165FPS to match the panel's 165hz refresh.
The IPS panel is of highest quality, and you will not find a higher performance display for 1440p or higher. You are getting the right panel for a PC like this to take full advantage of.
And I know the question will come up why did I get a founders card with the blower style cooler? Well the blower style cooler has been proven to lower in case temps by a huge amount because it exhausts its heat out the back. I have had several variants of the other board partner cards and their coolers, and none have ever been able to keep the inside of the case as cool. And as for the blower cooler keeping the card itself cool. All you need to do is adjust the fan curve with precision X or afterburner to come on earlier and ramp up faster, and you can control the temps to as close if not the same as the best air cooled board partner card on the market. I see a max temp of 75c on my 1080 under 100% load with the agressive fan profile.
As for the CPU, this is a very capable 6700k example. I have it safely OCd to 4.6, but it has been 4.8 on voltage approaching what Im not ok with. So as with car dyno's, I made my hero run on the dyno, then backed the timing down for the street. Its happy at 4.6 and has been tested for days running 100%. With the AIO cooler, I see no more than 68c on the hottest core, and it idles as a complete package at 22c-28c no problem. And it can idle and be used completely silent when I have the CPU and GPU fans set to quiet mode.
PRICE LOWERED TO $1600!! To build a system like this, you would easily reach $3k. This is a system that can do content creation and also game at the highest level. And if you so desire, it can be upgraded to the up coming Kaby Lake CPU. That new CPU shares the same socket, and the mobo will support it. There is a bios update I can do already out on the MSI site that makes it ready for the new CPU.
I was smart enough this time around to keep the CPU case box and its packing foam. So shipping is possible, but you will pay for it and its going to be hundreds of dollars I would assume because of its weight and the insurance that would be needed. Any questions, just ask. This will be the 4th custom build I have sold on here.
More pics coming soon. This pic is all I have at the moment. Disregard the two GPUs in there. This was from two months ago when I had the two 1070s in SLI. There is only the single 1080 in there now as I said. Use your imagination and I will post more current pics later today.
