Approximate Purchase Date: By the end of the year
Budget Range: $3000-$5000 USD. However keep in mind that I am located in China where computer parts have an increased 20% in taxes which means a $500 video card in the US might cost $600 to $650 here.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: (e.g.: CPU, mobo, RAM) Everything including case
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I usually use Newegg as a reference for the price of parts however, I get my hardware in a physical store.
Location: Shanghai, China
Parts Preferences: I tend to prefer evga for my graphics card but this isn't set in stone.
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 (I want to make a tri-monitor setup this time)
Additional Comments: There isn't a lot of watercooling options here in Shanghai for GPU, however I do want my case and parts to be cooled sufficiently for any overclocking I might do in the future.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: It's been 5 years and I am still using a i5 760 with a 1 year old gtx 660.
Any suggestions on parts will be greatly appreciated.
