Hi guys! I'm planning to build my first gaming PC soon and I need your help. I've been reading on Tom's Hardware for a long time now and I think it's where I'll get the best advices. I'll be playing lots of FPS, Diablo III, etc. I'll need 1 or 2 monitors for this build but I don't want to include them to my budget. Suggestions for them are welcome. If you need to know anything else let me know.
Approximate Purchase Date: June
Budget Range: $3500-$5000 Before Rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Surfing The Internet, Photo Editing, Watching Movies, Etc.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, OS.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Don't have any since It's my 1st Build. Lets say Newegg.ca
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, Nvidia Video Card (EVGA GTX 680 would be nice 😛), SSD Minimum 240GB for OS (RAID or Not?) and HD Minimum 2TB for storage. 8GB+ of RAM Memory.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080, 1920x1200
Additional Comments: I'd like my PC to be as quiet as possible. If possible with SLI configuration, I would like a high quality soundcard. There's a lot missing to my list below and I apologise for it but I don't know which MOBO, RAM and PSU is best for my needs.
--------------------
These are some of the parts I was considering buying for my Gaming PC.
Case: Cooler Master COSMOS II
I chose this case because I just like the way it looks and it has plenty of rooms for components.
CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K
SSD Drive: OCZ Vertex 3 MAX IOPS Edition 240GB
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB
Thanks for your advices.
