Hey guys. I'll be building a new system soon and I'd like recommendations as to what parts I should get. This will be primarily used for gaming and editing, but foremost gaming. I would like to be able to run the most demanding titles at 60 FPS. My monitor resolution is 1080p and I'll be gaming on just one. I don't intend on overclocking and I'm open to SLI. I don't need a keyboard, mouse, monitor or an operating system, just the actual components for the PC. Thanks!

Just be sure to ask if the BIOS of the mobo is updated for Ivy-E. If not. try to find a similar that is updated :).

That is a great build for the budget, however is absurdly, unnecessarily overpowered for 1080p. I would drop down to a single 780Ti and take the extra money and buy 1 or 2 monitors that are either 144Hz or 1440p.

Also go with quad channel G.Skill Trident X RAM (you can get great speed with absurdly low CAS latency for great prices) just for some better aesthetics and performance.

I agree that this is overpowered at the moment for 1080p but this is what op wanted and thats what I granded:




Well Ivy bridge E has already ridiculus speeds when comes to memory. This G.Skill Ripjaws Z will probably give him around 50GB/s. Trident will be better but I just choose the best value for money at already superspeeds in order to let him fix some other parts he might not find.
