Help With Gaming PC Build

[TrollCraftTales]

Hey Guys! I need your opinions on this monster build. I have a budget of $4000, but I would like to keep this as cheap as possible without giving up any performance.

Here is what I have-http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1CjRZ

=Here are the requirements=
CPU
CPU Cooler
Motherboard
RAM
High Capacity SSD
At least 1.5tb HDD
High End GPU
Mid Tower Case
Windows 8
No more than 28'' Moniter, built in speaker
Necessary PSU

=OPTIONAL=
Mouse
Keyboard
Sound Card
Headset, preferably no mic
Case Fans
Color Coded

=NOTE=
I know most of this stuff is overkill but I want to not upgrade this for a while and have the ability to play most games on high/ultra, I also record videos and dabble in music/video creation.

Thank you for your time, your opinions/suggestions are greatly appreciated 😀

Switch out i7 and sabertooth board for
i7 4th gen and ASUS hero mobo. That cooler should allow you to OC at a good clock rate with i7

Thanks! I was really confused about the whole RAM thing because I am a first time builder, so that really helps, does that RAM come in 16gbs though or if it does do I even need that much?

I'm sorry >~< I thought I picked out 16GB. Yes you do need 16 GB since you said you wanted to do video production and music stuff

 

[TrollCraftTales]

Ok, other than OC does that have any advantage over the 3770k and the Sabertooth?

 

[Jessie_atn]

Also this may be preference. By I would go with the Logitech g9x if you go sorta big hands and love a little heaviness to it. I found it extremely helpful to have the mouse speed accessible on the mouse itself (good for sniping) the weights also just give it a more sturdy feel as well as the bad assery it gives off. Just preference though

 

[Jessie_atn]

Well bi hero is cheaper than saber tooth and has well processors preform really well in gaming, Als it doesnt hurt to spend a few bucks on the newer stuff since you must plan to keep this beast for years to come right?

 

[Jessie_atn]

I must apologize for my grammar. You can blame Google keyboard

 

[TrollCraftTales]

No problem dude, i've seen worse lol, anyway I will look into the mouse you said I am updating my build with the Hero now, Thanks!

 

[TrollCraftTales]

I couldn't find the Hero on the parts picker list so I went with the Asus MAXIMUS VI FORMULA ATX LGA1150 Motherboard, is that as good or what, sorry I'm new to this 😛

 

[Jessie_atn]

I posted a link with the hero mono. It just does not have an image

 

[TrollCraftTales]

Oh wow, I went right over that link like 20 times, thank you so much!

 

[Jessie_atn]

^°^ it's my pleasure...don't forget to chose best solutions!

 

[TrollCraftTales]

Yep, I made sure to choose you, you were extremely helpful and I am now not stressing getting my PC now...

Took a long LONG time, but finally done 😀. This build is quite a bit better, and looks awesome too. Stand out with a orange theme instead of blue or red. Uses the latest 4th gen i7, gtx 760 sli with high speeds, and all the parts I chose have tons of great features.

With a $4000 budget why wouldn't you invest in a 1440p monitor if you are interested in video/photo editing? Especially with dual 780's, not doing so seems a bit silly imo, but if you want to roll with 1080p that's totally up to you.

With that being said a good 1080p monitor will probably cost you about half as much as a 1440p counterpart.

 

[TrollCraftTales]

I would love to look into a good monitor, is there a good 1440p monitor that doesn't cost a fortune you would suggest?

Hey did you check out my build? It's just as good if not better and saves you $400

 

[TrollCraftTales]

Wow I went over your comment so many times, it really help now I have a lot more money to get a better monitor, I would make your comment the solution but I already did that to someone else sorry, thanks for the help anyway!

No problem, just hoped you would see it 😀

Suggest? Yes. Recommend? No. I have never owned a 1440p monitor nor used one for an extensive period of time. But here are the three cheapest ones I could find.

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/acer-monitor-umhb6aa002
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/dell-monitor-u2713hm

Personally I would look into the Asus one. It has the lowest response time and is the cheapest. Good luck with your build!
