High End Gaming PC Content Advice

[muzzar69]

Hey Guys.

I'm creating this as I'm looking into getting a gaming PC and gaming laptop and want some advice.

I'm looking at getting the Asus G75 for the gaming laptop, I need a laptop because I travel for work almost every month. Gaming desktop because laptops don't offer what desktops do, and they are unreliable. Have a Alienware M18X, 4500 bucks. Had it 2 months and I've had so many issues with it.

As for the desktop I've been looking around for a while and have chosen the following specs.

CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 $317

Cooler: Crosair CWCH-100 $155

Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Extreme $499

Case: Thermaltake Level 10 GT WHITE $299

PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 900W 80PLUS Bronze ATX Power Supply $158.00

GPU: ASUS GeForce GTX690 4GB Dual GPU DP PCI-E Video Card $1,319.00

RAM: G.Skill DDR3 32GB 2400Mhz $334

Monitor: Asus PB278Q 27" 2560 x 1440

Storage: Samsung 128GB SSD $129 + Segate Barracuda 2TB 7200RMP $118

Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD PCI-E Sound Card $225.00

OS Windows 8 PRO 64bit $149

O, BTW, I'm in Australia so if the prices look funny that's why.

Are those parts good parts, reliable and good for their prices?

Thanks guys!

well first of all, i didnt say anything wrong going with a maximus board. just that they are pricy

i did not suggest a sabertooth. they are total scams

and second, the board makes literally no difference when you are overclocking on air. on water, tops 100mhz. literally tops. the CPU will go bonkers anyways after 1.35v (which is necessary for most chips to hit 4.6ghz) since thats when the temps go sky rocketing.

im comparing a v-pro to a maximus for the overclocking thing. their bioses are pretty much identical as well, just that the maximus has some extra features for things like LN2
