£3000 Budget - High End Setup

[DavidBrown1997]

Well, im here looking for suggestions on a build that is around £3k maximum.

Before anyone posts saying, you could have this for say £1500.. I want the best of the best that i can get for this amount of money.

I am from the UK and will be purchasing in a months time maximum, i do not want to wait for the 800 series or the TITAN Z.

This includes.

Monitor(s).. 2 max (2 1080p or 1 1440p?) Not sure which to go for so looking for suggestions.
OS isn't needed.
The whole tower maybe extra fans and led strips for custom stuff.

Im looking towards more of the 780ti SLI and an i7 4770k.

Just want an all round amazing PC and don't want to cheap out.

That's because of "Hero" board

 

[ModernWarfare]

Yup thats good but why 32gb ram are you rendering?

 

[DavidBrown1997]

Why would you need a better motherboard when that can SLI and do everythnig that is needed?

And possibly just not that much in comparison to the budget so i thought why not.

Are you going to watercool your GPU's if no then why two reference GTX-780ti's?

 

[DavidBrown1997]

Nah i aint planning on, whats the best one, was kind of going for looks but frames or apearance so suggest which ones.

Alright ill edit them into the list are these going to make much of a difference compared to the referance cards?

 

[Ahmadjon]

In terms of performance not so much but in terms of silence there will be huge acoustic difference!

 

[sora]

Alright ill edit them into the list are these going to make much of a difference compared to the referance cards?

Yes in terms of silence like Ahmadjon said; the reference cards are definitely known for their noisiness.

If your gonna spend $3000+, why not go socket 2011?
