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 !

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.

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.

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.

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 CrossFireXâ„¢ 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.

I think i'd get 600w .. dont want do any SLI/XFire ... hmmm ..
Well just let it be known, I have a Corsair HX 650 (80+ gold) and I believe anything less than that would be risky.
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

$400, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168..., 4 free games
Kind of sucks because I bought mine 3 weeks ago, and it only had 3 games and it was $420.

In a word? Stuttering. In a couple of words -- frame latency.
The following links, in no particular order, will give you an overview:
http://techreport.com/review/21516/inside-the-second-a-...
http://techreport.com/blog/24415/as-the-second-turns-fr...
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/graphics-card-bench...
http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/AMD-Radeon-...
http://www.pcper.com/reviews/Graphics-Cards/Frame-Ratin...
EDIT: None of the above means that Crossfire is borked forever, though. AMD has already committed to fixing the micro-stutter problem, and they've already made some progress on that front, at least in certain games. But for the moment, I personally wouldn't recommend that anyone buy a Crossfire rig. YMMV.
EDIT #2: Then again, I've always been partial to single-card configurations anyway. You really don't need more than a single card unless you have extraordinarily high performance standards.

Costs more.
Requires more power.
Creates more heat.
Makes you more dependent on good manufacturer driver support to play games right.
Micro-stuttering.
Not all games support CF/SLI.
Frame-latency (even though you might have 60, that won't matter if it takes a few seconds to deliver each frame).
Those are some of the disadvantages of CF and SLI.

Pretty much. 7970 Vapor X GHz if you haves non rediculous amount to spend, and IMO, 7990 if you can drop 1100, lol

7990 not worth it. Seen the frame latency on that thing?Then again, if you sell all 8 games, maybe it is worth it.
Just remember your huge case.
For me, i dont care much about performance ..
Like the 7970 & 7950 VaporX 's cover design are just the same ...
I want these GPU just bcoz of the cover , looks damn sexy to me .. i should get the 7970 rather than the 7950 for more performance .. lol .. if the 7990 are just the same , i would get that too ;3
i'm the person that "Style come first" hehehh ~

Crossfire is badI think it would be better to say "it has its disadvantages".
...No one said anything about disadvantages when I asked, dang, I was thinking i had a finalised build with 3 HD7970's
Care to elaborate on the issues?
Costs more.
Requires more power.
Creates more heat.
Makes you more dependent on good manufacturer driver support to play games right.
Micro-stuttering.
Not all games support CF/SLI.
Frame-latency (even though you might have 60, that won't matter if it takes a few seconds to deliver each frame).
Those are some of the disadvantages of CF and SLI.

Well the 7990 Devil 13 is VERY sexy, but if you don't have the money, or good enough monitor to be able to use its potential, no real reason for anything more than the 7970. No need in spending triple the money for something you cannot fully use, IMO, unless you have the cash to blow.
