Hi All,
First time using pcpartpicker, hope this works.
Uses:
Programming
Gaming
Generic Email and all around desktop
Media / photo storage.
Possibly looking to trim up a bit to get this to about $1800 as I've already spent $200 on a 24" 1080p monitor to overtake my primary display.
I'm leaving room for expansion, I know I want to SLI but I just don't see it in this budget price right now. I figure start with 1 770 and can bump it up later.
Games played:
Call of duty
League of Legends
Star craft 2
a few other FPS & MMO types (no WOW).
I could see myself going maybe to a 3 way SLI, but 2 is more than likely for the livelyhood of this build. Possible upgrades are the broadwell chip when it comes out in a few years, another video card or two, extra ram if 16GB ever becomes not enough.
My first impression is getting a different MOBO but not sure of any others that leave as much room for expansion. Also will I need additional case fans? No Wifi needed this thing will always be wired.
Thanks very much.
