You are absolutely right, sorry about that I got a little ahead of myself. I just love building them and like to get very in depth with customization and how you want it, something I love doing.

What kind of computer are you looking for? do you do much Photoshop, gaming, multiple monitors, sound production.

A little more specifics.
What do you want it to look like, Solid scheme Simple case, extravagant case, just right,
Lights? LED strips?
Usb 3.0?
External hhd or ssd connectors?
Build in speakers?
Fast boot time?
Water cooled or air, fan controllers?

Do you prefer SLI, Crossfire?
Amd, Or Intel


Its all up to you.

Archaic posted a great build, top notch cpu cooler, sli cards, and the psu is teir 2 which is great. Should be all you need for any applications. Do you have alot of dust or dog hair In your house, decide if you want high pressure air inside that leads to less dust and accumulation on your parts extending the life and keeping it clean, or a low pressure which keeps it slightly cooler but will pull air from cracks and stuff around the pc.

Might I suggest instead of the Microsoft Windows 8.1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.98 @ OutletPC)
I recommend going with Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM)

I personally have had better performance and like the OS of 7 compared to 8.1
If there is any reason why 8.1 is statistically better please let me know.
