What do you plan to do with this PC? Do you need the OS and monitor included? Do you prefer Intel/AMD or Nvidia/AMD? If you will game with it what kind of games will you be playing? Do you want to OC? CPU or GPU?

i intend to game on it and i need the monitor keyboard and mouse already have my own os i dont mind just which one is better for intel or amd because i have heard from both sides and i will be playing games such as battlefield 4, thief,crysis 3,call of duty ive never overclocked so idk and i would be fine with either.

This has an I5 because an I7 will really only show improved performance in Productivity, or CPU intensive games like Minecraft. I chose 2 GTX 780 over a GTX 780 Ti because they are faster, but not all games support SLI, most games do, also SLI can have micro stuttering. I personally can't tell the difference but some people can. Then for a monitor choose a 1440p, 1600p or 1080p @ 120/144hz, because the performance this PC will give on a 60hz 1080p is a waste of money. I'd choose a 1440p or 1600p monitor personally. If you go with one GTX 780 Ti you only need a good 600w PSU so change that if you change GPUs. For the case you can choose what you want as long as it fits the parts which if you use PCPARTPICKER will tell you if they won't fit. Last thing is if you want to OC your CPU you will need an aftermarket cooler, if not get a non K model of the CPU a I5 4670.
Respond if you have any questions.

SLI is having two of the same GPUs in the same PC to essentially double performance. You can have up to 4 GPUs on a Motherboard with enough PCI E 16 slots. But you don't always see double performance more like 3/4 performance increase. For Minecraft you will easily get over 100 FPS with a I5 4670 since my I5 4440 gets about 120 FPS on servers. Here is a video for SLIing Titans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vCrblKzKaM
Also do you want to spend $2000 for a reason? If you want to just max out every game at 1080p at 60 FPS a GTX 780 or R9 290 would do that for you. I would go with Nvidia before AMD for software reasons, but both GPUs are great.

This gives very good bang for buck, and leaves ~$450 for a monitor.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3FnCM

This has awesome performance, at a greater cost, of cause. ~$250 for a monitor. (could save a bit by dropping the i7 4770k to a i5 4670k, with little to no performace loss.)

Go for my build and SLI the 780's later .
Most people say that getting a single gpu over two gpu's is always better because SLI'ing or crossfirex'ing causes more heat , micro-stuttering and you're not gonna always benefit of the two GPU's .

I agree with everything youve said there, except that your build is based off a non current socket and chipset.

Go for my build and SLI the 780's later .
Most people say that getting a single gpu over two gpu's is always better because SLI'ing or crossfirex'ing causes more heat , micro-stuttering and you're not gonna always benefit of the two GPU's .

I agree with everything youve said there, except that your build is based off a non current socket and chipset.


It's because the v3 is 20$ more , I tried to make it as cheap as I could

bacon9479 , remember , if you're gonna go with either builds and would like to SLI , you WILL have to get a new PSU of at least 860W .

This gives very good bang for buck, and leaves ~$450 for a monitor.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3FnCM

This has awesome performance, at a greater cost, of cause. ~$250 for a monitor. (could save a bit by dropping the i7 4770k to a i5 4670k, with little to no performace loss.)


Personally I won't go with either builds just because I don't trust asrock and pny , and for that budget better go for a 780 and invest the money into a z87 mobo so if he wants to he can change the cpu for a 4770k/4670k and a corsair h xxx(i) cpu water cooler
And that case is also too cheap for the budget , I'd at least get a 750D , getting a full tower case means better airflow due to height .
Also , going for a 1230 V3 will save 20$ for just 100MHz less , and it is worth it .

Well it's my build with a asrock z87 mobo and a v3 cpu '-'
Getting a v2 will have literally same performance but 100MHz less which isn't even noticeable and Z77 mobo's are nice and cheap for the price unless you're gonna go for a decent mobo like I did .
And as I said earlier I don't trust asrock .

Yeah, i just changed those things on yours :p  this is not the time to be buying and building either. Would be better to wait for z97 boards, because then there is the option to get a broadwell CPU later on when theyre released

I would think a I5 would be just as good as the one your getting but I not possitive. But why 16gb of ram? If you are only gaming 8 is all you need.

NOPE .
Xeon's are better than i5's
And 16GB of ram will be usefull if he decides to be rendering later , and for 2000$ build it's a must have .

I meant for gaming, for FPS the CPUs give almost the same performance as long as there is no bottleneck. Also if he goes into productivity wouldn't having a I7 4770 be better, since its cheaper to add ram then to get a new CPU. So I'd suggest 8gb of Ram and then I7 4770 over Xeon with 16gb.

Good point. but he did say he only plans to game on it. So I think he should go with the I5 4670 or K if he wants to OC it with 8gb of Ram, also if he doesn't want to use it for productivity he could get lower speed Ram. So Bacon, do you plan to use the PC for productivity?

There's literally no need of a cpu cooler on a xeon , it comes with the stock cooler and you can't overclock it ( i don't recommend overclocking either )
so in this case a cpu cooler is just useless
i don't suggest getting that case , you'd be better off with the nzxt phantom ( 630 i guess ? ) in terms of asthetics and management
if you're gonna sli i suggest getting a 850w psu at least
and that mouse looks really really wierd , i think you'll have a hard time to get used to it
