Hi all, first of all let me say that i know many of you will laugh at me for spending so much money on a gaming computer when i have so little experience. The truth is i haven't built a computer in the last 10 years but i would like to get back into pc gaming, however i have not kept up with the industry and only recently started doing research. I plan on purchasing and putting together the computer sometime around september-october and have around $3000.00 to spend (Also need to purchase a new monitor). Frankly I feel lost and could use advice in every department, psu, case, gpu, cpu, motherboard ect ect.... I have a few preferences, mainly i would prefer intel (specifically a 6 core to help future proof), Nvidia graphics, also a 1200p or 1440p monitor would be amazing but i doubt i could afford one, so a perhaps a 1080 120hz monitor at 27''+ would be best?? Besides these preferences i have no idea what to get. I've looked at nvidia cards and would enjoy a titan (who wouldn't?!) but they seem astronomically high so maybe a 780 that i could later sli?? However i have heard that running in sli is not perfect and there are many problems with it especially with games not optimized for sli (which is why i'd love a titan lol). I'd like to be able to run most games at maximum with 60+fps and make it as future proof and easily upgradeable as possible. My final concern is heat, I'd prefer a full size case that gives me the best possible heat dissipation so if i decide to go SLI in the future overheating wouldn't be such a worry. I'm open to suggestions and if my preferences just seem out of sight please say so i could use all the help i can get.
As a side note i've looked at sites such as www.ibuypower.com and their signature EREBUS Xl with the custom water cooling looks amazing but i don't have $4000.00, just wondering what your thoughts are on the site and the water-cooling setup.
I know this is a long post and some of my questions are most likely stupid and idiotic but i thank you for reading it and offering your suggestions.
