My tower died and i want to build a new one in the next 6 months or less. It want a gaming beast that will be able to hold its own for the next 4-5 years. Here are the parts i was thinking about using.
CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($529.99 @ Microcenter)
Motherboard: Asus Rampage IV Black Edition EATX LGA2011 Motherboard ($484.99 @ NCIX US)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($408.00 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($189.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($189.99 @ Amazon)
Storage: Seagate Constellation ES.3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($89.99 @ NCIX US)
Storage: Seagate Constellation ES.3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($89.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($736.13 @ Newegg)
Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($736.13 @ Newegg)
Case: Corsair 900D ATX Full Tower Case ($309.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: Corsair 1200W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($309.99 @ NCIX US)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($177.70 @ OutletPC)
Total: $4252.88
the two SSDs will be in RAID 0 giving me 512gb of super fast storage for the OS, and the two 1tbs will be in RAID 1 . The the RAID 1 array will be partitioned in 2 512gb sections. this will allow system back on one partition and extra storage on the other half.
I am aware i didn't list any cooling this is because i will be building a custom twin water cooled loop, one for the gpu's ending in a 4x120mm radiator and one one for the cpu & motherboard ending in its own 4x120mm radiator.
my max for this build is $6,000 including a new monitor and the to be created water cooling.
What are you thoughts i want the best bang for my buck, price isnt so much an issue as much as wasting money one items i don't need or that wont improve my performance.
