Does this setup work? I am a first time builder and I was wondering if all of my parts fit in the case.

Carson Folk · Jun 6, 2013

Can anyone answer if my setup will work, with the dimensions and everything.

here is the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/13PwB

Yes, all the pieces in your setup will work with each other and fit into the case you chose.

What is the reasoning for:
Sound card?
32GB RAM?
$200 for the case?

What will this be used for? I see a lot of expensive parts.

It will work, but....

Carson Folk · Jun 7, 2013

Sound Card: I am an audiophile and I love music, I am using this sound card for speakers that I own.
32gb ram:I will be setting up a 16 gb ram disk, 4 gb to minecraft and 4 gb to a minecraft server, 8gb to system and games.
Case: I would like a case that is easy to open and has many sockets for fans.
I will be using this system for gaming and video recording and editing. I am making a high end system that will last for a very long time. If you think another part would be better than ones I have listed, please tell me! My total budget must be below $3000. Also, I am interested in Nvidia surround and I was wondering if my two gpus can handle 3 displays(each 1080p) running modest games like Dishonored or Bioshock Infinite at high settings. Again, any edits to my setup will be helpful!

Carson Folk :

Sounds resonable. And yes the two 770 can handle 3*1080p display on high demanding games. I just think that using LGA1150 platform is more sufficient at this point : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/13RUI

Thanks for the input

! I was wondering which monitor should I choose: the Asus PA248q, the APC i2767fh, or the Benq XL2411T? I will be going to use three monitors for surround.

Madn3ss795 · Jun 7, 2013

I'd take the Asus monitors, still. Not just high quality but it's also pre-calibrated, with usb3.0 ports ( 12 usb3.0 ports just from those monitors will blown your mind lol ). The BenQ ones win in 3D support if you're interested ( yet I wouldn't recommend playing in 3D for a long time, bad for eyes, plus you might need a 3rd 770 for that 3D vision setup ). As for AOC ones : not many reviews found, so I just can't make any comment on it.

Here is a revised setup, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/13Yrc

Here is a revised setup, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/15R9a

I would like some input and some advice to this setup, but, I am sticking to my sandybridge cpu because it OCs better...

Also, I am not sure if my case, the Thermaltake Armor Revo Snow, comes with fans, if so, which ones?

Madn3ss795 · Jun 13, 2013

Yes it's easier to OC on Sandy than Ivy, but then you have to OC the sandy 2500k by a few hundreds mhz before it reachs the level of a stock 3570k, making 3570k the better choice in the end.

I'd pick the 3570k and a pair of GTX770 from MSI instead, due to lower temp and quieter. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/15TSO

Madn3ss795 :

Any idea about the fans?

Madn3ss795 · Jun 13, 2013

Yes it does come with pre-installed fans : http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_Specification.aspx?id=C_00001869

Front, top and side : 1 200mm fan for each of those locations
Rear : 1 140mm fan

More than enough to cool down any system if you ask me.
