Hello everybody,
I'm new to this forum despite spending a lot of my time on here as people post some fantastic advice when it comes to PC's. However, I need opinions on a new desktop build. Scholarships for uni come out in about three weeks time, and I'm getting about $3,500AUD should I be successful in winning them. I've budgeted my absolute maximum amount for the PC to $2,500AUD.
I'm looking for a build that'll run GTA IV (and the up & coming GTA V), Battlefield 3, Skyrim etc.. in full detail with little or no problems. I want to build something that's going to be future proof & that'll pretty much run any game I throw in the CD drive. I have a few things that I'd prefer for the build;
-No AMD processors.
-Preferably no ATI GPU's unless they're good for crossfiring (which I'd really like to do if it's worth it).
-I'd like to run crossfire or SLI with the best GPU within my budget, don't really care if I'm spending $500 or so on a GPU. If it's better I do 3-way SLI or crossfire with cheaper cards for better performance, then I'll do that.
-Liquid cooling is a MUST!
-Asus maximus boards are the ***, I'd love one.
I know it's like really picky of me, but this is a first time build & I wanna make sure I don't need to spend cash for the next few years or so, hence the rather large investment. I already got a case sorted out (Corsair Graphite 600T White Edition (windowed)).
Your opinions on the build are highly valued!!

) So, despite the high probability of microstuttering that it's worth the SLI configuration? I mean if it stutters I can change the FPS cap in-game which I've read works with a lot of games or I can take out one GPU if certain games can't handle it. After all, I'm looking to dual/tri screen in the future.
