Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next couple weeks

Budget Range: No more than $3750 after rebates and shipping and such.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Overclocking

Are you buying a monitor: No



Parts to Upgrade: Completely fresh build. Need everything

Do you need to buy OS: No

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg, Amazon

Location: Fitchburg, Massachusetts, USA

Parts Preferences: Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, NVIDIA, but don't break your back trying to strictly use these

Overclocking: Yes. Overclocking to the maximum potential

SLI or Crossfire: Dual SLI preferably

Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080

Additional Comments: It will have a Water Loop, so if you can include Water Loop components, that'd be great. I want to completely max out games, including games releasing later this year like Star Citizen, The Division. I also want it to be extremely overclockable, and silent.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Moved to PC gaming after 9 years of consoles!

Didnt include the water cooling components as I'm no expert!
It's overkill for 1080p - consider a higher res. monitor or a triple monitor setup.

for water cooling I swear by XSPC rads bitspower compression fittings I use a swiftech 655 vario, primochill tubing, ek blocks and cougar fans ( I wrote a review on them here on toms ) only use distilled water and silver kill coil unless you want to be cleaning your loop every 3-6 months
