New gaming rig need some help

huanying · Mar 4, 2014

Ey guys,

I have been looking for some new gaming gear which will be used for streaming also, for max 2400 dollar ( 1750 euro ).

Gear i already have;
2 screens 1080p
2 hdd 2 tb

I have created a setup which allows
2x MSI GTX 770 Gaming
16gb Corsair dominator platinum 2400mhz cl11
Corsair Hydro Series H110 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
Intel core i7 4770k
Corsair AX860
Crucial M500 256 GB
Cooler master Storm stryker.

What would be the best thing to improve on this?
And does my motherboard accept the 2400mhz of the ram?

if you're buying in europe (sorry, american here) don't you have the VAT to calculate into the price?

You don't need more than 8gb (2x4gb) of 1600 MHz ram and you could bump the i7-4770k to an i5-4670k with little to no performance loss. The savings could be used to get 2x gtx 780's, but if you're gaming with just one monitor, then the 770's would be just fine.

I would get the single card configuration rather than SLI right away. You can always upgrade the 780 Ti into SLI when going 4K monitor.

That setups looks really good to me, ill seek the parts in Netherland for orderings

Thank you both for reacting so fast

thats a decent setup, if your planning on playing higher res than 1080p you could look at 4gb cards over the 2gb 770's, or r9 290 4gb.
