5000$ game build(3months)

[iowanerd]

Looking for advice/ideas on a gaming build that I want to build by may.

Approximate Purchase Date: May 2015

Budget Range: $5000USD before rebates and shipping

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, multimedia(secondary use)

Are you buying a monitor: Yes but not included in purchase price of rig.



Parts to Upgrade: NONE new build

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Any

Location: City, State/Region, Country - Des Moines Iowa USA

Parts Preferences: No preference

Overclocking: Yes

SLI or Crossfire: Yes

Your Monitor Resolution: (e.g.: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1440x900, 1600x1200, 1680x1050, 1920x1080, 1920x1200 or if you're upgrading please state what you'd want to get) depends on game

Additional Comments: I am interested in water cooling but never done it before. If you want to include a liquid cooled build id like it to not go above $6500 USD.
Also id like to also have a nice looking case and a rig that doesn't glow random multiple colors
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Tired of old rig

Also I'm looking at getting a freesync monitor when they come out this year. So AMD is probably needed

Don't bother making a build plan now, make the plan as you're about to purchase it.

The prices are going to be very different compared to now and May

I realize this. I was going to buy some of it starting next week. Mainly everything but the gpu as I'm wanting to see if the freesync monitors will be better then the gsync

GG. Good build and will do as good as an AMD GPU therefore not requiring you to upgrade to an AMD GPU.

Saves you about $1500 to spend on other items. Maybe extra fans, or a liquild cooled sytem ( I have no experience with liquid cooled systems BTW)

Why are you spending this much for ONLY 1080p?
