Hi,
Approximate Purchase Date: Early Aug
Budget Range: 2500$ (18K LE Or EGP)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade: -
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: For Pricing You can use:
Arabhardware Store: http://store.arabhardware.net/?___store=english&___from_store=arabic
EGPrices: http://www.egprices.com/en/
Location: Egypt
Parts Preferences: I'm thinking of I7-4770K but i'm sure about using 780 Ti cuz it will serve a great performance and will last longer and latter when i need to SLI i'll get another one (it would be cheap then).
i don't care About SSD and i want a HDD with 2T at least
Overclocking: Yes, In future when needed
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, In future when needed
Your Monitor Resolution: Maybe 27Inch @1280p
Additional Comments: I want WiFi, Bluetooth and USB3.
I want the CPU and MoBo to be really good because you can't upgrade them unlike RAM and GPU, so i want them to be able to SLI and OC in future (when needed).
The problem is here in Egypt we can't find all the parts unlike The US and international shipping isn't an option due to waranty and so...
And i'm thinking of getting DS4 but i'm affraid of the battries (in the first 3 months i'll be gaming for about 8H aday) So maybe DS3
A good KB&M
I won't be Upgrading soon But i don't want the Pc to be overkill and Will getting a Factory OC GPU will affects its lifecycle? and so for the cooling how long does it last?
i want a 2T USB3 external HDD ( at least)

If you're going to game, you don't really need the i7 (but maybe now with Devil's Canyon that has changed, since the i7 runs about 400Mhz faster than the i5.

However, I'm sticking with an i5 recommendation. :)

Here's a list of parts you can start from.

Your monitor resolution was ridiculous low, so I upped it a bit. :)

You really will be happy to add the SSD. Trust me, I'm a doctor. :)

You can try and do part-matching to your Egypt repailers. ASk if you can't find a matching part and we can look for alternatives.
