I'd like the best possible motherboard. A friend owns the Maximus V and highly recommends it. Waiting for the Formula VI. Haswell or SB-E?
I play on a high res, so I'd like high Vram, at least 4gb. Still deciding on the graphics card. Lowest model I'm looking at is the 7950 3gb. Also looking at the Titan and 780. Waiting for new Titan. Still haven't decided on SLI or Tri-SLI (or crossfire/trifire)
Already decided on a case and I'm buying it here, in New Zealand (it's cheaper considering shipping etc).
Also have a 2tb WD HDD from previous build with all my personal stuff.
Still don't know what CPU cooler to go with. Thinking Noctua D14, but I'm a lil out of date with latest stuff.
Potentially water cooling later, but I doubt it. Will be adding lots of fans though for max air flow.
If I think of anything else, I'll add it here.
