Will this run 60+FPS in most new games?

Hey Tomshardware.

Im looking to buy a new PC seeing as the one i bought a few years ago is abit behind..

I have been wondering if these parts would do the job? I am planning on running Shadowplay(recording) and then uploading to youtube, perhabs compressing and video editting.
I play games like WoW, BF4, CS:GO. And would like all these games to be top quality on the graphics ofc.

It is really a personal preference for the GPU.

While 2x GTX 770's will generally give you better performance, they will still be constrained by all inherent issues with using AFR (compatibility issues, driver issues, possible stuttering, bad or no scaling, ect.).
In the worst case, your performance would then be equal to that of a single GTX 770.

A single GTX 780 Ti ( a 3GB, not 2GB card) will avoid any potential SLI issues, but will generally perform a little worse than 2x GTX 770's.
It does, however, give you the option to add a second GPU in the future should you wish to further increase your performance.
It will also cost approx. $100 less, which allows you to beef up the CPU cooling.

Here are a few benchmarks for you to...

Im also seeking some advice on cooling aswell, the air cooler for the CPU is just a beginning, i plan on watercooling but i havnt done anything like that before. And ^the above, is my 2nd build. And ofc when getting watercooling i plan on selling the air CPU cooler to one of my friends, just to cut the costs alittle ^^

It will max everything at 60fps, maybe except Arma 3 and games that don't support SLI e.g AC4. Some recommendations, if you're building a computer of this calibre and price, please buy a CPU watercooler, something like a Corsair H100i or an NZXT X60 or even an H80, you'll notice that your temperatures will become significantly better. Finally, something for every build, if you can afford a more powerful single card solution, do that. You'll notice that there will be quite a few issues with multi gpu setups and that not all games enjoy 2 cards.

I dont plan on playing arma 3, ever. But i do want to have the 4gb card for multiscreen gaming / High resolution. Tho right now i only play on 1.
Its also just a "dream" per say, to get SLI, just to try it out.

Welcome to the forums!

A question first; what resolution do you plan on gaming at?

Your build looks quite good overall and should have no issues with current games up to 1600p.
Personally though, I would swap the pair of GTX 770's for a Single GTX 780 Ti for about $100 less and use the leftover budget to get either a Big Air or Closed Liquid cooler and some quiet fans.

A single massive GPU instead of a pair of slower ones in SLI will give you a more consistent experience without losing much potential performance.
The upgraded cooler will allow you to overclock your CPU further and keep noise levels much lower for a more pleasant gaming environment.

The PC im sitting with right now benchmarks this http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2272172.

is it really a good idea to go from 4gb 2x 770´s to 2gb 780 TI? - Noise for me is of no matter, i play with headset on and got music in my years most of the times, i dont really notice if someones talking to me tbh.

The 780 ti is 3GBs, and the problem with sli isn't solely noise. It stutters, it's inconsistent, there's framerate drops, and some games straight out don't support sli. Plus, don't know if you know this, but you don't 2x the performance with sli.. It's more like 1.35x.. If you really care about the 4GBs, the R9 290X performs similarly to the 780ti.

Here are a few benchmarks for you to consider.
The first is a quite good review of the MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming from Techpowerup; the other two offer comparison benchmarks between MSI's GTX 780 Ti Gaming and GTX 770 SLI from The Guru of 3D.
With current generation games, you should see no performance differences between 2GB, 3GB or 4GB of frame buffer in all but the most extreme situations (1600p with HD Texture Mods and/or extremely high levels of AA) that would already bring either setup to its knees.
