2500$ gaming PC

JustNeedSomeHelp · Nov 2, 2013

Hello everyone. I'am gonna buy a new gaming computer, and I got a budget of 2500 dollars. I could ofc go 3000 dollars if I get some good improvements. I'am gonna be editing a bit, but mostly gaming of course. I already got 3 good monitors with very thin bezel. I can't choose between R9 290X, and GTX 780. What would you suggest for Battlefield 4?

Help me with a 2500 Dollar gaming pc

Sure R9 290 X is good. so that is option you have to make

And for editing 4770k is better. But best for editing is 4930k and then you need X-79 2011 mobo too.+ Maybe more memory.

Then build looks like this.

Have you tried Palit gtx 780? It got better performance then GTX titan and lower temperature. Do you think I should palit instead of another one? http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Palit/GeForce_GTX_780_Super_JetStream/1.html

If you look best 780 Then buy Zotac AMP
http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/59857-zotac-geforce-gtx-780-amp-edition-updated/

Then you get 2+3 year warranty. (needs register cards) To Zotac site.

And couple weeks away is new 780Ti so maybe good wait for that.

Palit looks like good buy. How much is Palit price?

And are you going to build custom loop? (water cooling)
If you are planning custom loop build then buy this case.
