So in the near future I plan on building a computer, I will have anywhere between $1800 USD and $3000 USD.
Set up wise, I plan on doing a Dual Screen straight away and adding a third screen later down the track, I don't know if it will be 3D yet, it depends on what kind of money I have left over from the PC.
The build is mainly for gaming and video editing and I also plan to use it for University next year (I'm doing Computer Science)
Anyway, Thus far I've decided on the following:
Case: NZXT Switch 810 full tower (Gun Metal or White)
Mobo: Asus Sabertooth Z77
CPU: i7 3770K
PSU: OZX ZX series 850W (I heard that they're a better choice than the Corsair AX 850w, and it's a lot cheaper)
GPU: EVGA GTX660TI FTW x2
Ram: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16gb (2x8gb) @ 1600mhz
HDD:
Boot: Intel 520 60GB SSD
Back up storage: Already have a 1TB hdd from my old gaming PC
I'm still having trouble deciding whether to go for a dual GTX660TI build or dual GTX670. I want to get the top version of each card for minimal overclocking and maximum performance, and I want to get the two cards at the same time so I don't have to worry about rarity later down the road.
I plan on adding a second SSD for games and programs, probably a second Intel 520 but at 240GB, my current laptop has a Intel SSD and I really like it. However, I haven't had a look around, but I've been told Intel is the most reliable.
When I was looking at the motherboards, I was originally looking at the AsRock Extreme 4 (and the Extreme 6) but the Sabertooth seems like a better choice, however I'd love to hear what you guys think.
And I chose that ram after speaking to a friend of mine, we compared different types and he said that would be the best of those ones we looked at (I forgot the others sorry)
Anyway, any other questions, please ask and I appreciate any feedback/answers.
Thanks![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Oops, I forgot to add, I plan on adding CPU cooling later down the road as I don't plan on overclocking the CPU off the bat.
I think that is all![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
