Hello everyone. I'm trying to build a gaming pc, my budget is $3000 (excluding monitor, keyboard, mouse etc). I play every genre that exists but primarily fps. I will be playing on a 2560x1600 30" display (dell U3011). Please offer your opinions on my current build. I am concerned with future upgradability so motherboard and case selections would be especially welcome. Sound is also very important to me so if anyone has experience with the audio card I selected or can recommend another please go ahead.
Approximate Purchase Date: Early August
Budget Range: $2500-3000 (excluding monitor cost)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and nothing else
Parts Preferences: Pretty set on GTX 580s and i7 2600k
Overclocking: Certainly
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Monitor Resolution: 2560x 1660
Case: Corsair Obsidian 800D
Power Supply: 1000W Corsair 80 + Modular Power supply
GPUs : 2 Nvidia GTX 580s
Motherboard: Asrock Z68 Extreme4
CPU: Intel i7 2600k w/ Asetek zero-service liquid cooling
RAM: 8gb Patriot Division 2 X-treme Dual Channel DDR3
SSD: 2 64gb crucial C300 realSSD (Gonna run in Raid 0)
Audio: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-E 7.1
HD: 3TB Seagate Barracuda XT
Couple of specific questions: Will this motherboard support the audio card, an internal wireless N wifi adapter (cant run wired in this location UNFORTUNATELY) and a third 580 if I add one in the future?
Any experience/thoughts on the dell U3011? I am also considering the hp zr30w.
Thanks
