Comes with their CPU/GPU overclocking, this is meant for 1080p gaming with the option (2 gpu) for 4k gaming once it becomes optimal. How can I improve this or fix this build? thanks guys :D

There is a comment I could make on part of that statement, but I shall refrain.

Sorry I took so long to respond guys-

This is currently for 1080p gaming, but it will be used for 4k gaming as soon as 4k is optimal for mainstream games.

My last build was 2008, and was comparable to this in its era, (I do really good long term builds, or atleast try to) Im hoping this will last me a good way through the 4k generation. And if as airplanegeek says everything is maxed, is there anyway to better set things up? here is the link to look at my literal load up on DS

I realize that some if not most of this build is overkill by far, but that's the point of this build, to get 70+ FPS on every game I play in 1080p, and do very well in 4k. I understand that I can get great 1080p performance with a rig probably $5k, less than where it stands, but i'm trying to make a rig that will last atleast 5 years and be able to compete with future titles. Sure this thing can kill anything right now, but what about in 2-3 years when more games start actually utilizing things like SLI, Hyperthreading, etc.

You do know that you can currently get over 200FPS in most games on 1080p and worst you can get is around 120FPS. In 5 years you'll still get over 50FPS in most games.

Then in 3-5 years, you upgrade something. Buying overkill today is useless.
An overkill PC built in 2008 is where today? Spec-wise, it's on the Walmart reject rack.

But it's your money. Go for it.

The sole reason I'm not doing a build that I can easily just upgrade is for the digital storm gpu+CPU liquid cooling they offer. I don't really have the slightest clue on making a pc much less a GPU water cooler
