Making a new rig, could use some help.

Bullmance · Feb 3, 2014

I would like to upgrade some parts. I will be using this computer for Gaming, Video editing and Photoshop. I have up to $1000 to spend, but would like to keep it as low as possible.

Here are the parts I have already and should not be included in cost.:

Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760 4GB Video Card
Corsair AX 850W Power Supply
WD 1 TB Hard Drive

I put them in PC Part Picker to make it easier: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2MxnF

I would like a SSD, Case, Mobo, CPU Cooler, and 16 GB RAMM.

Thanks for looking and helping. I haven't built a computer in about 4 years and could use the help with the new tech.

Here are the cases I like: CM Storm Stryker, Thermaltake Chaser MK-1, Thermaltake Level 10 GT, Azza Hurricane.

What about a second 760?

Thanks for the reply. If it fits in the budget, otherwise no.

Not immediately, what I'm asking is if you want a SLI-capable motherboard or not.

cst1992 :

I would prefer it, yes. But isn't a deal breaker for me.

cst1992 :

That looks nice and well below budget. Thank you.

cst1992 · Feb 3, 2014

Your 760 4GB suggests you may well add another one for increased performance.
However, I suggest you wait on it, I personally am not in favor of adding another graphics card in SLI from the very start, but later on when prices drop.
If you find the performance not satisfying, then add another 760.
You're all set.

Sounds good. When I go to pick the 4770k for the CPU, it doesn't let me with that mobo on part picker... any reason?

Oh, sorry, Change the mobo to the z87x.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2MzMk
The z77x is a lga1155 board. The 3570k is a very common gaming processor. It uses this socket.
For your i7, however, you need the lga1150. This z87x is the lga1150 counterpart of that motherboard.
