Here's my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3AQqd
Approximate purchase date: within the next two weeks or so
Budget range:$1500
System usage: Major gaming, recording, video editing, multitasking, watching videos while gaming
Monitor: using two that I already have
Parts to upgrade: new build
OS: already have windows 7
Location: Connecticut
Overclocking: just up to 4.0 ghz on my cpu for now and in the future I'm planning on building a custom water cooling loop to pc it to around 4.6 hopefully. I'll probably OC the 290 so it gives similar performance to the 290x or close to it without blowing the bank.
Sli/CFX: in the future most likely.
Screen res: 3840x1080p ( 2 monitors )
Upgrade reason: selling old rig because with only 2gb of VRAM I couldn't watch 1080p videos while gaming.
Additional comments: I may have a little more room in the budget for either more ram or more storage. I NEED to use the nzxt h440 case and I also want a red/black theme. ANY suggestions or advice on this build would be appreciated. Also, will the 212+ cool the i7 effiecently and will the 750w psu give me enough headroom in the future to run cfx/sli? Thanks!
