Im currently trying to build a computer for under 1900.
Intel 3930K
Geforce 780
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Corsair 16gb
Need pro advice on cooling, motherboard, case, monitor, power unit, and optical drive and audio.
Please don't worry about the keyboard, as I got a mech one. Mouse is covered as well.

Thank all

thanks man. whats the difference between 3930k and 4770k? Also whats the difference between geforce 780 and 770? Whats the benifit of adding another 770? Futureproof design? I know these questions may be a lot, but I want to be really settled before I start building this computer.

Thanks!!!:wahoo:

the 3930k has 2 more physical cores, but the 4770k has better per-core performance which is more important in games
a 770 is about 15% weaker than a 780 for $250 less so its much better value for money
adding another 770 may help u get good FPS gains in games that support multi-GPUs

Thanks for all the help! THis is exactly what I needed. Maybe I'll pm you a photo when it's done. For now, I need to do a bit more research. Plus, the little extra money gives me some room to buy some games too!

In case you're on Steam, I'm gamer12111. Hope you'll friend me!:D

it will play almost all games at ultra on 1080p though some extremely demanding games (Crysis 3 only as far as i know) will need to be turned down to high to get a decent fps, when the time comes and u realise its getting slower just pop in another 770 and u're good for atleast the next 3 years
