I am building a new gaming pc.
I am going to buy it in about two weeks.
My budget is $2000
I will use it for gaming, especially for battlefield 4 and crysis 3.
I want to play those games at max settings.
I am going to buy a monitor, a gaming mice and keyboard.
I need to buy OS.
I am living in the Netherlands, but almost all parts that are available in the US, are available in the Netherlands too.
I have got a preference for Nvidia, because sli runs better than crossfire.
But if you think AMD is better you may recommend it and convince me it's better.
I will overclock my CPU if it starts to bottleneck.
In a few years I think I will buy another graphics card in sli.
My monitor resolution will be at least 1920x1080p
Should I change some parts?
Do you have an alternative build?
I have chosen a 860W because I would like to have another graphics card in a few years.
All advices are welcome.
