CPU i5-3570K Cpu cooling stock for now, Custom water cooling later..
Mobo Asrock z77 extreme 6
psu OCZ Core extreme 500W 80plus
RAM 2x4gb patriot viper 3 2133mhz cl 11
GPu 7970 oc or ghz (in the near future Cross firing 2 of them i will change the psu)

So what do you think! Of course i am on a tight budget of 800 Euros maybe less

CPU and Motherboard are great choices, so is the custom water cooling.

PSU is kinda bad, you might want at least 600w for 7970 so there's headroom for other stuff, not sure about the OCZ core series, but I hated the ModXStream. Do yourself a favor and just invest money on more reputable brands, and if you're gonna CF anyway, get an 800-850w PSU.

RAM is okay, but you don't need 2133MHz, you will not see any difference at all with 1600Mhz so save yourself some cash there.

CPU i5-3570k (stock now,custom water cooling later)
Mobo Asrock z77 extreme 4
Psu OCZ ZS Series 750W
RAM Corsair 2x4gb 1600mhz Cl 8-8-8-24
GPU 7950 OC x2

now looks more solid right?

 

[excella1221]

Yeah... just one thing- as I stated on my above post, if you're gonna Crossfire, you'll want 800-850w. The 7970 is power-hungry, and 750w will be playing on the border line already. In other words, you have little to no headroom, and the PSU will be working very hard.

yeap thanks i went for bigger power supply the difference in money was too little..

CPU i5-3570K
Mobo Asrock extreme 6
Psu Corsair TX850
GPU gigabyte 7970 oc
Ram Corsair Vengence 1600Mhz LP
Case Merc Alpha
Keybord Stealseries 6gv2 Mx cherry black
Mouse pad Steal series qck mini

only thing left i water cooling and overclocking to the max...

you don't need water cooling to get great overclocks, you can get 4.6 on a hyper 212 evo. Try the Sapphire 7970, they have better cooling.

If you're playing at 1080p, getting Crossfired 7970's is a bad choice. All games will run at 60FPS with one 7970. Another one won't make it smoother, it will just add screen tearing.

maybe for the 2nd one..already built it

 

[andreascyp]

i get 64c max on 99.5 % GPU load in all diff burn tests...
but the stock i5-3570k cpu cooler sucks..it's horrible

 

[obsama1]

If you want a good cheap cooler, get the Hyper 212 +/EVO.

Virtu MVP eliminates screen tearing..try if it's supported by your mobo+gpu
yes that was my go to cpu cooler but i am a uni student in an other county and here they are very expensive
