HELP! Custom Build for GAMING & EDITING! FINAZLIZING!!!

Griffin832 · Jul 24, 2013

I have finally put all of the advice given to me together, and will soon finish deciding the parts for my gaming and editing build. For one last piece of advice, I would like you to put together 2 builds (or give me advice about a build) (No budget but as cheap as possible) that will run almost any game at 1920x1080 w/ 60+ FPS and MAX settings as well as a build that will do the same for 5260x1080. If you only want to do one, please do the firdst. Thanks!

Does this include an os, keyboard, mouse, and all the monitors?
What editing will you be doing?

Well, that is up to you. If you want to include them, then yes. Since I didn't give you a budget (I dont really have 1). I will be doing photo editing and video editing and some rendering.

Basically, you're looking at GTX 770 or 780 territory if you want to play the new games at those kinds of settings. With a decent motherboard and an i5 of the ivy bridge or haswell persuasion, you'll be good to go with whatever else you pick (barring a good PSU).

...buuuut, here's a quick build anyway:

Thanks so much this helped a lot! The only thing I am skeptical of, will a single 770 be able to play Crysis 3 at Max settings while getting at least 40 FPS? (Preferably 60+)

At 1080p with lesser AA, yes. for 5760x1080, you'll want an SLI build.

Look at this benchmark: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/crysis-3-performance-benchmark-gaming,3451-6.html

It shows the GTX 680 getting an average of 45fps average. The GTX 770 is a GTX 680 with better memory bandwidth, so it should get a bit more fps.

On a triple monitor set-up, the GTX 680 gets an average of 38fps using medium settings. You'll want to SLI to get about 40 fps maxed out.
