Approximate Purchase Date: within the week, hopefully
Budget Range: $1500-2000 (willing to go up to $2500 if needed, though)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming > internet usage > watching movies > other stuff
Country: United States
SLI or Crossfire: yes
Another first-time builder here, wanting to check and make sure everything checks out compatibility-wise for an SLI setup, and what kind of monitors I would want to use for that. I also wanted to ask about whether I should look into an Asus motherboard instead, since it's what my friend suggested, and what RAM I'd want to use with it. Lastly, I'm not sure what kind of power supply I'm going to be needing. Otherwise, my tentative parts list is as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770K
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master TPC 812 86.2 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Storage: OCZ Vertex 4 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 2GB Video Card

Case: NZXT Phantom (Orange/Black)
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Total: $1844.14
Thanks in advance!
