Price may go higher if i buy Monitor or misc. items ~
*Oh ya.. i'm from Malaysia

Why i choose these components :

- i5 3570k just lower than i7 performance , its a great CPU ~
- DZ77GA-70K Motherboard.. i want it just because of the "Skull Extreme" chipset's heatsink

.. very unique ;p
- Win7 64Bit OEM , just for 1 PC ~
- PS06 just the best case i saw ..sleek & good-looking design.. not like any other Cases, its look like robotic to me..
-Sapphire HD 7970 Vapor-X , want it because the Sapphire Vapor-X GPU cover.. its look damn nice to me, also the GPU cover just the same like 7950 Vapor-X .. but the performance is low :/
- 850 watt ,80 Plus Gold & FULL modular.. i want this Strider Gold just because to match my Rig's colour scheme and 850w for future CrossFire/SLI .
- the HyperX , Blue coloured RAM

matching the Rig's colour, take Genesis because its better from the "Blu" version ..
- OCZ Vector , yes.. for booting & game loading (i know we boot PC just 1-2 times a day) .. And yet the blue SSD colour

..
- 2TB HDD , good storage capacity

- Corsair H100i , i've heard its the best ? well, just take it.
- AP121 , Air Penetrator.. wanna put infront intake of my casing.
- AP123, Silence when mounting/attach to grill .. gonna put it under the case with PSU
- Enermax TB Silence, well, its look demmm niceeee.. install on top-behind case..
- Noctua fans, replace on Corsair H100i's stock fan

- DVD/BluRay ~ just want to have the Optical Drive on my rig ~
- Card reader ? yeah, need that.. i does own COOLPIX P90 from Nikon

- Sound Card ? yeap, for future .. main speaker , Edifier

*blue coloured sound card ;D
- Apex RAW .. damn, nice & sleek design .. just nice

- Kova ? why not Kova [+] ? i've having problem with my Mamba, the rubberized coating is peels off from the mouse .. now the click button almost turn to shiny plastic .. lol .. the Kova is Plastic surface ~ i've tried use this mouse on some game event .. its really fits me well

- I've heard QcK mouse mat is very good .. so i pick & take the Sudden Attack edition .. coz i'm a retired player from Sudden Attack,3 years of playing man.. its a great game.. Got STAR ranked in SASEA

*Now i become noob in that game =,=
- ArtiClean ? i guess i need that just in case ;p
- Fan Filter ? try mounting on the optional fan slot , with the Enermax TB Silence

Well, thats all .. if anything you guys would suggest for greater price or performance.. just comment ;D

THANKS !

Crazy.

The fact you didn't get to squeeze in a monitor either supports that, I think.

Malaysia?

Tak tipu ah...

Nazmi07 · May 29, 2013

X79 :

lolol, i spend what i want lor ~ not crazy ahh ;p just wanna own a Gaming Rig ~ that's all

haha
MY la, bo tipu la ~_~

Monitor.. yeah.. now using Acer G205H 1600x900 .. i know this will make my system burst to tears when running with this monitor xD
later i got budget, wanna get 27" monitor.. then get 2 more for Triple monitor.. EyeInfinity FTW ;D

Not to mention i need a new room too .. HAHAHA

It should work just fine.

Personally I'd find a way to double the size of the SSD (and I'd probably buy an Intel or a Samsung model). I'd also drop the dedicated sound card unless you're a hardcore audio-phile. If it's your first build, I'd probably also drop the water cooler; closed-loop or not it's still more trouble to install than the average air cooler.

There are no right answers vis-a-vis all of the peripheral-type items you've selected. If you really want them, then have at it, but people in this forum will tend towards maximizing core-hardware performance rather than picking up the snazziest mouse pad, or color-scheme matching internal components.

Fulgurant :

Yeah, my dad got 5k Audio thingy ~ he advice me to get the audio system too ~
Maximize ? nahhh ... technologies like update every second, yes, it is worth it.. but not for too long ~
I just upgrade/building for fun (^_^)y hahaha

Intel Haswell wanna release soon .. hemm.. if they make same motherboard which got "skull" chipset on it for the haswell socket .. i would change my rig's list. :/

Nahhh~ Sapphire HD 7970 VaporX more sexy <3

Marcopolo123 · May 31, 2013

crossfire is inferior much more microstutters

swiftech watercoolers are the best all in one watercoolers.
example: swiftech h220 ect. fully customizable

dont buy intel motherboard
choose gigabyte or asus

If you enjoy computers, and like modding and that sort of stuff, with $2000, you could build a fully custom liquid cooling loop. I plan on going into the IT field, so for me spending the extra money for a loop wasn't a big deal, because it was a learning experience as well.

As for the HDD and SSD, if you don't record videos, or store massive amounts of video/pictures, drop the 2 TB HDD to a 1 TB, bump the 128 GB SSD to a 256 GB, and go with a Samsung 840 Series (good from my experience). You could also bump the 850W PSU to a 650W with the 7970 Vapor X.

As for the sound, if you don't go with a good motherboard which has bad onboard audio, you would notice a difference, but with a nice motherboard (which you should have in a $2000 build), you don't really need one, if you want to spend the money else where.

GMPoisoN :

1. I Don't want any maintainence with fully liquid. every 6 month have to change rite ?
2. 1 TB ? even my PC 1TB here wont enough to install games & etc. =,= .. id saved alot of things .. & record my games using fraps which got damn big amout of MB with just 30 seconds of fraps .. LOL
3. Nahh, just 128GB .. 256 is justttt way to expensive for just an SSD .. Just wanna get Battlefield's game loading fast & fast booting too even i boot PC 1 day at a time..lol
4.500 Watt Power Supply is required.
850WattPower Supply is recommended for CrossFireX™ System

850w reconmended for crossfire o.o ?

850w if you wanted to crossfire yes, I guess I was mistaken, 650w is enough for a single 7970. 2 TB would be a better option for you then since you record games as well, and since you only care about booting BF3, I suppose a 128 GB would be just fine.

Yeah ^_^
850w for future CrossFire (Thingking about to get the Asus 7970 Platinum Matrix, hope the price drop after a year ;O ), 128 at least 2 games i want to loading fast .. *i want the first person to get to the chopper in Battlefield 3/4 or Play4Free ;p

Haha, I was considering that card before I saw the price, considering it is still only a 7970, and the fact that you can't find one anywhere.

Marcopolo123 · Jun 3, 2013

Crossfire is bad

X79 · Jun 3, 2013

Marcopolo123 :

I think it would be better to say "it has its disadvantages".

Nazmi07 · Jun 3, 2013

X79 :

I think i'd get 600w .. dont want do any SLI/XFire ... hmmm ..

GMPoisoN · Jun 3, 2013

Nazmi07 :

Well just let it be known, I have a Corsair HX 650 (80+ gold) and I believe anything less than that would be risky.

Nazmi07 · Jun 3, 2013

GMPoisoN :

Lol, i think about, if i get 500w, better i get 600w, if i get 600w better i just upgrade 700w .. if i get 700w, would be nice to get 800w+ , can crossfire it later .. so hard to choose =.= .. hahaha
Would ended being 1000w xD

No because getting a PSU which is too big is not so good ¨^^^^. Get what you need

.

GMPoisoN · Jun 3, 2013

X79 :

Yup! I just got my Sapphire 7970 Vapor X 3 GB and my Corsair HX 650. When I decide to upgrade, it will probably be in a year or so, and I will be buying a new gpu, psu, and monitor.
