Planning to build a extreme gaming pc,any suggest will helpful,thx
 
What exactly is it going to be used for?

There's no point in getting an i7 over an i5 for gaming - there will be literally no appreciable difference.

You're hemorrhaging money with that power supply - a freaking 750w PSU would be plenty for you.

Those aren't particularly good speakers for the amount of money you're spending on them.

There is absolutely zero reason for you to buy a sound card when cheaper setups will sound way way better.

Okay, so issues.

1] You list a budget of $3000 and include things like the mouse. Just no. Give us a budget for the tower, ask about peripherals separately.

2] You're spending $3000 on a computer in order to play on a 1080p monitor. Not just a 1080p monitor, but a huge one with cruddy-low PPI.

3] Sorry for how blunt this sounds, but you need to do your research. Research sound, and find the best setup for your price - I can guarantee you that's not a problem that will be solved by throwing money at it. Research the performance level you're looking from your computer, because you would be able to max out games on that monitor for about $1200. Finally, think about how much your money is bleeding a hole in your pocket, because you seriously don't have to spend nearly as much as you're planning on spending to get very very good performance.
 
MSI gaming 7 is useless. It comes with just few more not so important features as Gaming 5 does. I suggest Gaming 5 or if you want something better get Asus Maximus Hero or MSI Mpower series Mobo that is made for Overclocking.

Second thing is your PSU. Even if you have 3 970SLI you WONT need need more than 1000W. U totally dont need 1200W.

Also idk why u need the soundcard for....
 


Of course u change it. Its quite terrible. You could get what i will get.

MoBo: MSI Z97 Gaming 5
GPU:1 Nvidia GTX 970 MSI Twin Frozr V
CPU: Intel i7 4790k
PSU: Corsair AX 860
CPU cooler: Corsair H100i
Ram: Crucial DDR3 Balistix Tactical 8GB (Red/green LED)
HDD: Seagate Desktop SSHD 1TB Sata 6gb/s
SSD: Corsair Force Series LX SSD 128 GB
Wireless Card: ASUS PCE-AC68 AC1900
Case: Corsair Obsidian 450D
Monitor: BenQ 24" LED RL2455HM
 


I will be doing video editing and photoshop. I dont need that much space because i wont have a ton of games and if i have a game i want it to play at max and thats why i chose 970. Also PSU AX series is because i will be overclocking and i will be getting SLI or maybe even tripple SLI in future and i dont want to upgrade my PSU.
 


if you do alot of videoedditing and photoshop, dont you need more space then?
 


nope
I have external HDD
