Hey Guys,
So I'm putting together my first (gaming) pc and I want it to be able to blow away next gen consoles as well as be able to run a bunch of minor applications (ie. internet explorer, utorrent etc, no photoshop or video stuff other than VLC haha). SOOO i wanted to know if this build will be able to do that.
Case: Corsair Carbide Series Black 500R Mid Tower Computer Case
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.4 GHZ 6 MB Cache
or should I go for the i7-4770k for a longer life next gen competition?
Motherboard: Asus Z87 PRO LGA 1150 Motherboard
Ram: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800)
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 WF 3X GHz Edition 3GB GDDR5
PSU: Corsair Professional Series HX 750 Watt ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Gold
Hard-drive: Seagate Barracuda 3 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 7200 RPM
SSD: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5-Inch SATA III
Optical Drive: Samsung 24x SATA DVD¡ARW Internal Drive
Mouse: ROCCAT Kone XTD
KeyBoard: Corsair Vengeance K60
1) Should I get a sound card?
2) Good gaming monitor suggestion?
3) Should I get 1 7970 now and another later or two 7950's now?
Thanks guys
