Good evening ladies and gents,
Link to build: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/29RKm
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g: January 2014 (January Sales)
Budget Range: £2500-£3000 including taxes, shipping and monitors.
System Usage: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: Yes - Twin or Triple monitors. Looking at either [19-21 inch x 3] or [24-27 inch x 2]...desk isn't big enough for anything larger
Parts to Upgrade: This is a complete new build from scratch. Parts I can carry forward are: keyboard, mouse, 3.1 speakers.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: UK based.
Location: Hereford, England.
Parts Preferences: I have no bias to one brand or another, just looking for 'bang for buck' as well as the features in the additional comments below.
Overclocking: Yes - in the future or now if budget allows.
SLI or Crossfire: Yes - in the future or now if budget allows.
Your Monitor Resolution: I like first person shooters so something with a low refresh rate and high resolution I guess.
Additional Comments:
1) I'd like to explore 3D gaming at some point, so maybe need monitors that will allow this.
2) I have no clue if there is a better option between single card/SLI/Crossfire and eyefinity/"theotherone"...or to put it bluntly, I don't know much, I'm a noob, I'm willing to learn and have been reading this site for a few months now but I still feel there's no 'right' answer for my particular set-up: multi screen; any brand; possibility of 3D.
3) PC will be on ALL day, for work (mainly email and document based, nothing taxing) and then gaming, so would be nice to have a rig that can sustain prolonged use without breaking. Maybe with automatic fans that very their speed.
4) My main games are BF4 & Skyrim. I'm making the move over from console gaming and would like to play these games on max settings if possible on my budget so that i can truly appreciate the PC master race.
5) I don't know too much about GPU's so please some feedback on better alternatives would be much appreciated!
6) Do i have enough cooling in my build below? Is liquid cooling a good idea?
7) I have gone for a large PSU in case i later upgrade for 3 way SLI
Here is the build I have made so far...please criticise away and make suggestions. Please keep in mind my desire to future proof this initial build if possible and play games on max settings.
