I've been using these forums for answers for a while. However now that it's time for me to build a new rig I feel I can trust this community for some advise.
PURPOSE:
I mainly want this rig as a serious gaming rig but also want to get into overclocking. I currently do not render video and probably won't in any forseeable future. But if I ever do, this beast should be able to handle it.
BUT: above and beyond all this thing has to last BIG time. My previous rig finaly died on me after over 7 jears of loyal service and it had adequate performance till the very end.
PART LIST:
I came up with this as my new system: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1hKow
Cost should be around 2000 euro where I live (Belgium). Again, most of these components were chosen to last and for their quality. I know I probably could get away with something more like a 1000 system for what I'll be doing wit it in the near future. However If anyone can suggest equal parts for lower price they are certainly more than welcome to!
Since this is my first build, I obviously want to run this by you guys just to check if all components match and no missmatches occur in the smaller details (I already managed to chose too high a voltage RAM for the Hasswell architecture).
GPU
The thing I doubted about the most is (are) the graphics card(s). I'm still not sure about that one. Might go with the 780 to leave room for further upgrade down the line.
