Have been reading up for the last month after deciding to build my own game rig and an unexplained fire would be nice to avoid haha. I'll be playing at 1920x1200 and looking to upgrade in the near future to a possible 4k monitor. I tried putting together something that will support my future needs so I am not looking at abysmal FPS when I move up to 4K. Any suggestions for improvement are welcomed.
Mobo: Gigabyte GA -Z77 / ATX / 1600MHz / DDR3 / LGA 1155
CPU : i7-3770K 3.5GHz / 8 MB Cache / LGA 1155
GPU : GTX 780 (Thinking about SLI as well for when I upgrade to 4K monitor)
RAM : 16 GB Crucial Ballistix / DDR3 / 1600MHz (I realize its overkill at this time)
PSU : Kingwin ABT-1000MA1S / 1000 Wattage
I was overwhelmed by the amount of hardware available to choose from, so not sure if there are better choices for what I am going for. Was hoping to continue my learnings into overclocking as well once the system is built.
The one thing that left me stumped was the power supply if I SLI 780's. The wattage req. is 600 just for one card and the largest PSU i found was 1200. Am I missing something about how SLI works?
