Cpu: Intel Core i7-4770k (unlocked) 3.5GHz

GPU: Asus Geforce GTX 760 2048MB GDDR5 * 2 in SLI

Ram: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB DDR3-1600 CL8 8-8-8-24

Preference, performance the sli 760's will beat a 780, but that will not be the case in every game , as the would have to be optimised for sli. However the 780 will constantly pump out high fps no matter what game you throw at it.

One year down the line it allows you to sli (if needed) ... rather than replace both 760's

or the ram check to see if it the newer updated sticks or the older 1.65v sticks. intel cpu memory controller looks for 1.5v ram. some of the older 1600 ram is 1.65v. on newegg and parts picker the 1866 gskill arires and lp cosair running the same price as ram you picked out.

For gaming and very little (if any) editing, I'd go i5 and get a powerful single GPU instead. Not sure how soon you plan on purchasing, but with the GPU market as volatile as it is right now, I'd hold off a month or two for a nice non-reference 290X or 780/780TI.

do I gain nothing from an i7? I think I will go to 8GB of ram with higher speed like 2133 thanks for that also thanks ed I will be going with single 780 for the moment.

You won't see much difference from i7 when gaming.
i7 has hyper threading which is mostly for intense editing, etc.

You wont see a massive improvement in games maybe 1-5 fps increase, its more for games such as BF4 that uses that cpu.

An i5 would suffice if you need to save money, i7 for long term.

Dont for to select an answer.
