It will run the games you said WAY BETTER than the original link you put.

The i7 has zero practical advantage over the i5 for gaming, this rig has more reliable parts, and it has a freaking gtx 780, not a 760. Very big difference there.

On a 1080p, 60Hz screen, this computer will flat out max any game you feel like playing.

There you go! That's going to be much more balanced, much more reliable, and also, you know, includes such details as.. RAM. :p

No point in making up builds if he didn't give a BUDGET.

Some points:
1) The i5-4690K as suggested is the best CPU. Don't get an AMD CPU.

2) Get a quality Z97 motherboard like the Asus Z97-A or for quality the Z97 Gryphon.

3) The GTX760 can't run Watch Dogs on Ultra and that game had issues with VRAM though supposedly MOST (not all) of that has been fixed.

*I know you said SLI as in 2xGTX760 however I just can't recommend a 2GB framebuffer at this performance level so my advice is wait for Maxwell. I recommend a GTX860, 870 or 880 depending on budget. They should be coming soonish.

SLI has pros and cons. Higher frame rate but only if properly supported, otherwise a better single card works better like a GTX780 versus 2xGTX760.

So I suggest either:
a) 2xGTX860 3GB, or
b) 1xGTX880 4GB

We should have more info in a few weeks. In the mean time you could still build the system and just use the iGPU in the i5-4690K.

I just buried you in links yesterday proving that the i3-4130 is faster than the FX-6300 for gaming. Your only response was some random thing about how Intel has integrated chipsets so AMD is better, lol. And now you're recommending it as an alternative to an i5-4670k? That's just silly. AMD doesn't even have a CPU that competes with the i5-4460 consistently, let alone the i5-4670K.

Additionally, the R9 270X is slightly weaker all around than the GTX 760. Still a very good card and significantly cheaper, but saying it's better is simply not true.

Cracked Windows? I don't know how long you'll be around here.

If I were to extend my budget to like 1700, can you think of another build? Because my budget it 1500-1700 and I want future games to run on high... Thanks dude, you are so helpful!

Go watch this. Linus on Futureproofing.

What you're trying to do is a total waste of money, because you're paying through the nose for performance you can't use yet when it would be a far better idea to get what you need now and upgrade later.

1) Buy 2TB hard drive instead of the 1TB to have more storage, and buy a 780ti if you must, even though the extra performance will be wasted.

Or

2) Buy this computer, and in three years when the graphics card is no longer maxxing games but is still one of the best cards out there, sell it and buy a new card... which is by far the better option.

Or

3) Wait for the 800 series to be released (in theory sometime by the end of the month, but we'll see about that) and buy the most expensive card in the lineup to get another 15% performance over the 780ti.

Just because you have the money, which is obviously burning a hole in your pocket, doesn't mean you should waste it.

Hey, I have been saving up for nearly 3 years... So I wouldn't say "its burning a hole"... I have updated my build, and I'd like for you to check it out. http://. Please make any corrections, I will be ordering it within a month.

Haha, fair enough - that's not bad.

That being said, it still makes sense to buy what will give you what you want right now, and then upgrade later, rather than paying huge premiums for something that won't give you a benefit.

Alright, here goes:

1) Might consider buying a z97 motherboard, but that's not a big deal.

2) That's bloody expensive for a 2TB hard drive. Just saying.

3) I personally don't like full towers, since they're just so dang big for no reason, but that's up to you... bear in mind that it's a very expensive case, so if you aren't sure you're going to LOVE it,don't spend the money on it.

4) Don't get windows 7. Windows 8.1 OEM can be transferred from build to build, unlike Win 7. It also has WAY better bluetooth support, better file utilities, and if you take 10 minutes to get rid of the metro apps, really is just a faster version of windows 7. It's also not a 5-year old operating system that's going to be phased out... so don't listen to the annoying complainers who didn't bother to change any of the default settings.

5) The versions of those fans without lights are a lot quieter, if you care about that.

Don't bother with 16GB... 8GB is enough to simultaneously run Battlefield 3, Photoshop, and 30 tabs in Chrome. :)

Well, you technically don't have a mouse in there, but yes, that should be absolutely everything you need. I might pick up some zip ties to make cable management nicer, but...

That's going to be an incredibly powerful build. :)

EDIT: Networking. You really should run an ethernet cable from your router to your computer - it's faster, more reliable, and more secure. If you must, though, you can get a wireless card fairly cheaply, either an internal one or a USB dongle.

Also bear in mind that you'll either want speakers or headphones. If you aren't an audiophile, Logitech makes a $20 or $30 kit that comes with a sub that's really impressive for the price.

You also might consider grabbing some MX4 thermal paste, but the 212 EVO already comes with fairly good stuff.

Well, I have V-moda LP's which are amazing, and I have a naga epic. As for the internet, I'll be wiring mine with an Ethernet cable. :) also, what is thermal paste? I

was told by a friend of mine that my power supply was rather weak for the rig. Is that true?

Ooh, very nice - I've heard good things about those guys. I personally don't care for the naga buttons - too hard to get reliable and quick results. But then again, I haven't used one all that much, and you already are used to it, so go with it.

Good to hear that you have networking covered. Thermal paste is what goes between the processor and the heatsink - its job is to fill in any microcracks in either surface to facilitate heat transfer. You don't have to worry about it - like I said, the heatsink you're getting comes with a small tube of pretty good stuff.

It is not true, no. There are a whole bunch of people out there who haven't bothered to realize that parts these days are using a LOT less power than a few generations of tech ago, and that there's no reason to get a 750w power supply for a system with just one graphics card. That 550w power supply will be more than enough for your rig, even with overclocking it as far as the 212 EVO will go. If you anticipate upgrading to watercooling or heavily overclocking your graphics card, you might as well go with a 620w SeaSonic, but for what you've got including overclocking that CPU, you're golden.

UPDATE:
I'm referring to the "Fizzy" build linked above a couple comments. I think it's not bad overall, however:

1) Motherboard. I feel more comfortable looking at the history for Asrock/Asus reliability in recommending THIS motherboard:
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-z97a

It supports SLI if you think that's an option in the future.

2) CPU Cooler.
The "EVO" is a good value cooler but it won't be nearly as quiet as the Noctua NH-U12S. I've used both coolers so if noise is something you care about I recommend the Noctua. The Noctua is dead silent in idle (with fan control setup properly) and barely audible under full load whereas the EVO can be hears even in idle and is much louder under load.

3) Case/Fans:
The NXZT 220 has good feedback and also includes two fans. You would move the 12cm to the front as intake.

4) Power Supply:
I recommend at least a 650W PSU. You will use over 400Watts at times with an i5-4690K and GTX780 setup.

GTX780 uses up to 276Watts (card only): http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_780_TF_Gaming/24.html

i5-4690K setup uses between 109 and 180Watts depending on how much you overclock (subtract 30W for the card in idle): http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2014/07/03/intel-core-i5-4690k-review/6

*While the CPU isn't likely to be maxed at the same time as the GPU it can come close such as Battlefield 4 which I've seen use 95% of an i5-4670K. So we're definitely looking at over 400Watts at times. I seen no point in pushing things when a 650W costs about the same.

I prefer to aim for 65% usage as a worst-case scenario (420W/650W) to avoid stressing the PSU hard and to reduce fan noise (many power supplies ramp up fan speed at around 50%).

5) GTX870/880:
I still recommend holding out for one of these cards. Maybe build your system now and use the iGPU.
