why 3 way 770 2gbs? if you have a monitor setup that can actually make use of 3 770s, you'd want alot more ram than 2 gbs for the three cards to share.

SLI ram doesn't stack...

86. if this is for gaming.

The PSU is overkill for the rest of the components and not the best quality for the money. 650w would be plenty.
I assume this is for gaming, so an i5 would have been a better choice and the saved money could be spent on a better GPU.
The closed loop cooler will be a bit loud. There are cheaper and quieter air coolers that perform the same or better.
Wireless mouse will be awful for gaming.

Also, do you have one 770 or three?

dpassenger97 · Apr 24, 2014

id rate this as 1...reasons
1) 1000W is simply too much for your build.
2) your spending a lot on case id suggest that you go for ronin or nzxt h440 or fractal design define r4
3)you cant put an ssd with a hdd in raid 0
4)crucail m500 isn't good at all, go for samsung 840 evo.
5)your monitor might be good on paper but its a tn panel based monitor. id say go for a cheaper ips monitor, you'll save something like $100.
6)that motherboard is shit....change it to msi g45 or something like that
7)that cooler wont do any good for that motherboard, go for something like hyoer 212 evo or noctua nh d14
8)gtx 770 is cant run a game on ultra settings at 1080p 60fps..gtx 780 must be your minimum target(gtx 780 from evga with acx cooler is awesome)

and use pc part picker and do mention your budget

He's using 3 770, not one. 1000w isn't overkill at all. I'd get more actually. And 2gb version for 3 sli? Really? You still have 2gb, not 6gb. You can benefit from 3 sli on an extremely high resolution or 3 monitors set up, but at the same time you need AT LEAST 3gb vram. I'd get better and faster memory and use two 780 instead (more recent architecture). This ssd ain't good too, in the case of ssd, the more memory it has, the faster it normally is. So I'd go with samsung 840 pro 256.

tiny voices :

i think he just copied it from somewhere, i think he means 1 gtx 770

dharcshadow · Apr 24, 2014

It's a three way GTX 770.

tiny voices · Apr 24, 2014

You mean one single GTX770 card. Not three separate cards right? One card =$320 and 3 cards =$1000 dollars. Which is it.

If its the first, you only need 650w PSU.

No, 99% sure he is only using one card. 3-way SLI is just part of the card titale stating that iot is possible with that card, not that he has 3 of them.

dharcshadow · Apr 24, 2014

No, I customized it from XoticPC. It is 3xGTX770. 3 cards in SLI mode.

dharcshadow · Apr 24, 2014

Also, would two GTX 780 be better?

tiny voices · Apr 24, 2014

Yes 2 780s would be ideal.

If this is for 1080p, both are pointless and a huge waste of money.

dharcshadow · Apr 24, 2014

I'm kinda a noob, but I'm trying to get decent fps for a 1920 by 1080 on most games with the highest settings.

dharcshadow · Apr 24, 2014

What would be the most ideal for 1920 by 1080 gaming with 60fps or higher for highest settings?

tiny voices · Apr 24, 2014

Get a single gtx780. It will max all games at 1080p with 60fps. No problem. No need to buy all that excessive stuff for no reason.

Also, get an i5 not an i7 and a 750w PSU at most.

sarcophagus_macabre · Apr 24, 2014

Besides the fact that you can't do sli on that board. 1 PCIe 3.0 x16, 1 PCIe 2.0 x16(@ x4) and 3 PCI slots.

HumdrumPenguin · Apr 24, 2014

I'd stick to two 780 if you can afford it. Change the mobo for an asrock extreme 6, 900w plus gold power supply fully modular for better cable management, and if I had the money wouldn't downgrade to an I5.

dpassenger97 · Apr 24, 2014

Oh...sorry... I'd say go with single 780ti as it will play all games at max settings dor 2-3 years..when you feel that your gpu is slow go get the best gpu at that time and you'll be able to play games for another 3 years

dharcshadow · Apr 24, 2014

Also, what's the difference between EVGA superclocked and just normal overclocking a GPU?

tiny voices · Apr 24, 2014

superclocked is a marketing scheme. They overclock the card a TINY amount that you cannot even notice and slap the words SUPERCLOCKED on there to make you think you are getting something special.

dharcshadow · Apr 24, 2014

Also, is a GPU cooling system important for a extremely high ends GPU?

tiny voices · Apr 24, 2014

No, the GPU comes with a cooler installed. They all do. They cool the cards properly.
