What to change? Depends on your purpose. Expensive as hell and fast as hell.

Yeah I know it expensive, i just wanted to know if I should downgrade something to upgrade something.Also this will be for gaming and video editing

envy14tpe · Apr 4, 2013

Personally I'd rather spend $2500 now and upgrade in two years for another $2500. Upgrading is easy. Also there is diminishing returns on expensive systems. A $5000 system is almost the same as a $4000 system. (unnoticeable differences)

I would raid two of these instead of one giant drive

How about the Asus Titan? Instead of 690.

Also, I'd rather have a different mouse. Look into Razer Death Adder.

Also it would save you a ton if you would just go with i7 3770k and 1155 the differences are really not that great to warrant $1k for CPU

I7-3770
32gb realy? dont think you need it. 4x4gb corsair platinum looks better
2xgtx680/ 2xhd7970. Is better
750w is enough
Cooler master haf x is .... Well i dont like it, it gives the pc a cheap look

okay, what is one step down from the 17 extreme if it isn't worth it, I still want 6 cores. Also eventually i will upgrade to dual 690s, so im not going with dual 680s. Would you guys recommend 1 30" monitor or two or three smaller monitors.

Marcopolo123 · Apr 4, 2013

Why you want 6 cores ?

envy14tpe · Apr 4, 2013

If you really want to push things you could get 3 not 2 monitors. Otherwise 1 monitor will suffice. I'd rather have 3 x 24" monitors that are 120Hz.

oscarg621 :

If you are working with graphics 30" is a must or go for 27" with 2560x1440 resolution. Do NOT settle for 1080. You should also look at Overlord monitors they are not priced great. I don't like they big logo that is all.

lol I mean they are priced very well

maxinexus · Apr 5, 2013

I just noticed they have new design which looks much better than the old one. You can get 3 screens like these 3x$385=$1155 Not bad http://overlordcomputer.com/products/new-overlord-tempest-x270se-grade-a
