Building A PC

case isnt listed
and do you want to go SLI?
becase the psu is excessive

we built something better for an other user today it has a gtx 780 for about the same price and is much better system for gaming here look it might interest you...also this system will allow for overclocking where yours cant..:

you could even save some more money and go with a 1tb hard drive instead of a 2tb...you could also chose a cheaper case if you want and the psu could be changed for an xfx or evga 550w to save even more so you could add OS and other things you may need...anyway, this is just a suggestion

thats a nice case, anything will fit in this monsta lol...
for the psu you are looking at 500w minimum from a well know brand (seasonic, xfx, antec, evga..)
id suggest this one, great quality for the price and semi-modular, 80+bronze, nice unit :

This is what I had in that range, depending on needs (ignore random keyboard xD)

I plan to build that, if you can give me an idea of what you want I can put the parts together

as i said, the system is MUCH better for gaming, you get a much better GPU, the 770 is the old GK104 (GTX 680) while the 780 is a GK110 (Titans, GTX 780ti) with 2 SMX unit disabled, the GTX 780 comes with 50% more cuda cores and 50% more texture units over the 770, wich makes it 50% faster in games clock for clock...you will se framerates about 30 to 40% better with this GPU...

For the CPU now, the xeon you picked is better in a way, it has hyperthreading, but hyperthreading is not used in gaming, it may be in the future but this can't be more uncertain, and the xeon won't allow you to overclock while the core i5 i suggested is meant for overclocking, and with the hyper 212 CPU cooler it will be nice if you need more power in the future you will be able to overclock and get substancialy more performance out of this cpu, again i think this CPU is better for gaming...

now, knowing you already have a case for it, this is it what i would order if i was to build the best gaming machine as of today :

i included a wireless adapter as i figured you would need it since it was included in your original build...i went with a 1TB hard drive and a 240gb SSD as it should be enough for most users, you can swap that to a 2TB if you need to it's 30$ more...


* Note that you have 70$ worth of mail in rebates INCLUDED in the price of this build..so on purchase it will cost 70$ more that you will be able to retrieve from different manufacturer.

1 sec, I'm revising that guys builds,..

I highly doubt that you would be able to get more than that without sacrifising on quality or performance...

I just did

It's fun to help man, just remember install OS to SSD, and the 840 EVO is better for your money. Edit- sorry mine is a bit more expensive, but its quality.

I disagree...



I disagree again..
Not about installing the OS on the SSD this is obvious, but the crucial is just as nice for 30$ less...

The EVO is worth it, they'll last longer. The Asrock mobo has 8 (6 Gb/s), and 1 eSata, along with support for faster ram. Also, to me I like the 212 Evo, just preference. 1 thing though, for the price of that 780 you could almost SLI 2 760s and get kick ass performance. Edit- AsRock also supports Sli

I'm not trying to brag, but mine in the long run your better off. The motherboard has more features, the ssd will last longer, and the 212 Evo doesn't require a crapton of thermal paste.

I dont get why the EVO would last longer its the same exact cooler only the contact is direct with the heatpipes and the fan on it has a different plastic for the blades but all else is the same, but it's 10$ more and make a difference of about 2c under full load, so no point in getting that unless it's the same price...

Now who need 8x 6gb/s sata 3 ports? the OP is gonna use only 3 of them, 1 for SSD, 1 for HDD and 1 for optial drive, and the MSI board still has 6 of them...it's nice.

And 2x 760 in SLI will not perform better than a single 780 in MANY games, most of the time the gains from SLI is about 30 to 60% max and it will also consume more power, makes more noise, more heat and will require a beefier power supply wich will also add to the price...and you can't SLI another used one for cheap down the road when required cause you already went with two mediocre GPU's off the bat...not to mention that MANY games as of today won't even support SLI at all...so the second GPU will often be sitting there doing nothing really..no really the single GTX 780 is the best option and will crush any games the user will throw at it, i know it i own one !

Don't be, trust me, go with mine it includes everything you need for the next 3 or 4 years of gaming without any doubt..

I think mine would last longer, the AsRock is a fantastic mobo, the 840 Evo will last longer, and it could probaly last a good 5 years.

The msi is also fantastic, and the time i said was not about the longevity of the parts it was about performance, like before he need an upgrade...those parts will last a good 10 years before something goes bad or fails...easily...and the SSD i picked as nothing to envy to the samsung one, it's a very nice unit for 30$ less...anyway the OP will makes his choice, i'm done with my recommandations at this point, i went with what is needed and will perform better for the price with no compromise on quality what's so ever.
