Drop the seagate barracuda, grab a Western Digital. Everything else looks great.

 

[Justkeeplookin]

Yea i had second thoughts on it a AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 is nice

 

[Justkeeplookin]

Nope Z77 its still cheap but the Z97 is good and more modern

 

[travo1569]

Could i use a cheaper case i dont need a monitor i have my 60in dlp 3d tv

 

[Justkeeplookin]

Wow so you have extra room wanna go SLI with 970's or 980's?

 

[Justkeeplookin]

970 in sli is better than a single 980 better FPS

 

[travo1569]

This is my 1st ever gaming pc i wanna build so idk what sli 970 or 980 mean lol

 

[Justkeeplookin]

LOl i just found out your on this thread

 

[Justkeeplookin]

SLI is running Multiple GPU's as one. THere can be a 2-way 3-way and i think 4-way. SLI can let you run on multiple screens and still get very good FPS as any graphics can let you on multiple screens. THe GTX 980 is the 970's successor so newer technology more power efficient and so

 

[travo1569]

O got ya i want what ever is gonna get me best fps and gameplay for 1000.00 and the cheapest case to fit it all lol

 

[Andrew Murdoch]

or a pair of gtx 690's for the quad. they were awesome cards, albeit not very power efficient.

Fyi, not saying he should try to buy, just that they were awesome.

 

[Justkeeplookin]

They will be obselete maybe in the next 5-7 years but decent choice for todays gaming. Maybe a 960 should do fine

 

[Justkeeplookin]

Before you go ahead and buy think about going for SLI so maybe 2 GPU's you still have about an extra $200 in your budget so you can insert what you need

 

[travo1569]

When i went to buy the total jumped to like 1500 for us and cad total

 

[Andrew Murdoch]

He could always get one 980 now and another in 6 months if it was an issue

 

[Justkeeplookin]

Where do you live? in US or Canada or UK or where

 

[travo1569]

In the us

 

[travo1569]

If i buy 1 980 now and another when i get more money would that be better then 2 of the 970

 

[Andrew Murdoch]

Unequivocally.

 

[Justkeeplookin]

I guess 2 970's outperform 1 980. But if you wanna be future proof go for the 980 its more but i mean if you decide to get 2 980's then go for it or 2 970's
