32GB RAM and an i7 are not needed for a gaming desktop.

Whats the budget and where will you be buying the parts? For gaming 32Gb is massive overkill. What resolution are the monitors running? What games will you be playing?

^ What USAFRet said.
Very unnecessary of geting i7 and 32!? "32" GB of ram. You're never going to utilize those two things for gaming. Huge throw of money in the fire pit.

Well, id like to stay under 2k$, I'm looking for a computer that can handle any mmorpg out there with ease, and be able to play multiple chars with out having to lower graphics in any form.

I also agree with these guys about the massive overkill. What's your budget, and what country do you live in?

You could cut costs and get a single 780ti, and possibly bump up to 16gb RAM. At that point you could also get a cheaper PSU.

You don't need 32 GB ram. Go for nvidia for the graphic cards. You should probably over clock for the best gaming experience. Also, for the best gaming experience you probably will want 1080p monitors. You don't need to spend too much money on a mother board.
