Need help deciding on 2 components for new pc build

[brkkab]

I'm currently in the process of getting parts for a new computer build.
So far I have a Asus Maximus VIII Hero mobo and a Samsung 850 EVO 500GB. M/2 ssd for it. I'm also going to be re-using the Seagate Barracuda 3.0TB h.d , Intel 530 Series 400GB ssd (for Games), Lite On DVD-RW, Lite ON Blu-ray burner and memory card reader from my current pc.
I'm also going to be getting a NZXT Phantom 820 case. G-Skill Ripjaws-Z DDR 4 3200 ram (32GBS) and a Corsair HX-1000i psu for the new pc.
I need suggestions between the following part's for the new pc.
The heatsink is either going to be a EK-XLC Predator 240 or a Corsair Hydro Series H-100i GTX.
With either one, I'll be using 4 EK-Furious Vardar FF5-120 (3000rpm) fans in push/pull.
I also need help deciding between 2 GeForce GTX 4.0GB or 2 AMD Radeon 390X 4.0GB video cards.
I'm ordering a Intel Core i5 6600K cpu on Thursday and eventually plan on upgrading it to a Core i7 6700K in early 2017.
Keep in mind, I'm on permanent disability (Social Security) for life and can't afford to spend over $300.00 on a part/s in a month.
The pc won't be built until May as I won't have all parts until then minus the new video cards.
I'll be using my current GeForce GTX 760's until then, but they need to go back inn this pc, so I can sell it.
All suggestions appreciated between the AIO's and video card's.
P.S. PC will be running Windows 10 Pro x64.

Yeah, it's a full-tower.

Looks massive compared to mine. As my grandmother would say. Good things come in small packages.

 

[brkkab]

It is, that's the way I wanted it this time around.
When I eventually do the Ryzen upgrade, I'm gonna pull my water cooler out and finally put my other 2 fans on it for push/pull exhaust.
I may drain it then & refill it, too.
Now that EK Water Block's sell's the quick release valves for the hoses separately, I may get a few more and replace my botton 2 120mm. fans with a 2nd 240mm. radiator, for a future water-cooled video card upgrade.
When the water-cooled video card happens my whole pc will be 306* degrees instead of just my cpu.

I'm quite happy with my system as is. The H100i v2 is keeping the cpu at 27-31 idle and under 54c full load.

3DMark results:
FireStrike: 12000
FireStrike Extreme: 6409
TimeSpy: 4601
All run at Video card Speed 1430 MHz. & Memory Speed 2150 MHz.

 

[nmsuk]

I just about best those. Video card at stock clocks.

It's weird, but the first run of TimeSpy I did, I forgot to open Sapphire Trixx first and apply my overclock and TimeSpy, actually scored better.
The factory overclock for my card is video settings 1342 MHz. and ram settings 2000 MHz.
At the default factory overclock Time Spy scored 4612.

 

[brkkab]

Sometime later today, I'll run it at the stock overclock settings for FireStrike & FireStrike Extreme.
I just noticed , too that there's now a TimeSpy Extreme benchmark.
I'm not upgrading past 2DMark Advanced just for it, though.

 

[brkkab]

At default factory overclock FireStrike got 11364 and FireStrike Extreme got 6018.
Apparently TimeSpy does better at the default factory overclock, while FireStrike and FireStrike Extreme do better at my overclock.

 

[nmsuk]

I got with the latest driver 12230 for Firestrike and 6719 for Extreme. Timespy I'm getting 4785.

You still have the XFX RX 480 ?
If so, the AM4 mobo & Ryzen cpu are making a difference.
I've only got 4 cores & 4 threads.

 

[nmsuk]

8 cores 16 threads. System is also over clocked.

Yes I still have the 480. Have given up overclocking it though. Wasn't worth the extra heat and noise.

Are your factory video card setting's higher than my Sapphire's ?
Mine:
Video Speed: 1342 MHz.
Memory Speed: 2000 MHz.

Your chip is probably faster on single core applications but anything using more than one core then the Ryzen will win out.

 

[nmsuk]

Keith my core is 1338 and memory is 2000.

**Off Topic** I just found out Microsoft is giving away a bunch of free Ebooks/Documents covering a lot of stuff.
Here's a link to a post I created on the forum with download links.
Microsoft Is giving Away Free Ebooks/Documents......

Yeah, most definitely. I'll experience Ryzen sometime in 2018.
Right now it will probably be February as fars as the cpu goes.
Probably April for the G-Skill Flare X DDR4 3200 ram.
Then I'll think about which X370 motherboard I'm actually gonna get.
The motherboard will probably be in June or July.
The AM4 bracket for my water-cooler will be in one of the cpu or ram purchase month's, as it's only between $8.oo-$12.oo, if I remember correctly. It has to be ordered from EK Water Block's directly, as I don't think Newegg or Amazon has it in the U.S.
That was the same with the fan add-on kit for push/pull, I had to get it direct from EK Water Blocks, while I found the EKWB XLC-Predator 240 1.1 in the U.S.

 

[brkkab]

I'll probably do a Vega RX 56 after that , too.
I'm hoping by then there are 3rd party cards available with 2 fans on them.

Busy day for me tomorrow. I got my WWE 2K18 Deluxe Edition pre-loaded on Steam, but have to wait until 12:00P.M. or 12:30 P.M. to be able to play it. After that I get to do Fall Creators Update on both pc's.
I never got to work inside my pc over the weekend due to sleeping weird hour's.
I'll do that this weekend.
