(Please don't mind the cooling system It won't be a corsair it will either be Cooler Mater or NZXT Kraken, but it will be water cooled)

My budget is $2500 dollars, is this build ok? Do you guys suggest to remove or add something, change something?

Are the parts compatible? How do I check compatibility? Is there a website?

Will it be hard to build?

Should I get a water cooled video card and buy another cooling system for it?


I want something powerful, although I am kind of afraid to choose on my own.


Please help.

Not a solid build, many changes needed because it is too much invested in many parts, give me some time. Use the GPU with the build cooling system. For what do you want to use it anyway? This is primary for rendering and video edit etc and can be also for gaming but only for gaming you could save more money.

I wanted to use it for extreme gaming, I am probably planning on overclocking but not sure about that. Definitely extreme gaming.
I wanted to stick with amd? Do you think amd is not that still that good?

I know the new processors are kinda of pain in the ass and some people say are rip offs, what you think?

That build you gave me seems good. I would still though get 1200 w for better performance.

I5 is enough for gaming and i7 is with HT which is more for work and the price is higher. For gaming Intel offers far better results and if you can decide if you plan to overclock or not you could get a Xeon CPU which is based on i7 and has also HT but lower overtclocking features but it is priced way lower. The i5/i7 are not rip off till the i7 4770k, it depends on what you need and want from the CPU. A 1200w psu wont give better performance and you wont use even that much even with 2x GTX 780 with overclocking the GPUs and CPU.

This would be for overclocking and a cheaper CPU for gaming. Also a bigger PSU if you still want a higher watt psu or get the one above. 8GB RAM would be enough and you could upgrade later to 16GB without problems, it is your choice. If you want a similar CPU with little overclocking options with HT I could change the CPUs. The GTX 780 Ti, BE are totaly overpriced for little gain.

By the way I was thinking asrock too, I love as asrock they are very reliable.

No I meant amd a lot of people are saying that the new stuff is a rip off, that why I was asking.

Though you make a fair point. Probably I should start to think in intel rather than amd. You are not the first person who suggests that.
