Need input before i buy this please

[Mbrady92]

Hi everyone would love your professional advice before i commit to buying this custom pc. Simply put i need it to be an excellent gaming machine that can run games like battlefield 4 on ultra settings without sweating 😛 Im torn between s2011 cpu and motherboards, is s1150 still good?
Will the motherboard and power supply chosen support gtx 780 in sli if i decide i want that later on? Also the ram i have chosen is it going to work just as good as say, 1866 mhz, 2133mhz , will i notice any performance difference when gaming with 1600mhz ram??

Appreciate your input greatly thank you very much!

LGA 2011 does nothing for gaming, too much investment for almost no payoff in terms of performance gain.

That build could definitely use some work. Zalman cases are kind of overrated IMO, and the Sabertooth is way too expensive for what you get, and the i7 doesn't really do anything for gaming either. On your budget this is what I would suggest:

That's how you do a high end build.
