$1000 New Build

[kieshon]

Alright, I am looking to build a new rig and I need it strictly because I work off of it for school using programs like UDK as well as I play games like Skyrim, Battlefield 3 and World of Warcraft. I need help picking the parts. The budget is $1000 and please try not to go over it as I am a student in college. I already have the video cards, CPU cooler and PSU already picked out. Also, when the motherboard is being picked out I would like a motherboard capable of SLI for my geforce gtx 550 TI's please. Also I would like a Quad-Core CPU and at minimum, 8GB of RAM with a minimum of 500GB HDD. Can someone please help me? The case is also something I am looking at so please don't be hesitant to pick one for me to see. I also need these parts picked for next month.

EDIT: Also, I have the mouse, keyboard, speakers and monitor already. I live in Canada and the perferred website is tigerdirect.ca and newegg.ca Please try to keep it on the same website if you could.

heres a build that is worth looking at

another great case is the antec 302

when you say "picked out" do you mean you have them? If you do list them for us.

for 1k or less you can get a i5/z68/7850 set up that would rock....

Like I already have Gigabyte Geforce GTX 550TI (OC) x2, Corsair H70 Liquid Cooling and a Corsair Enthusiast TX 750W and I already have them in my possession.

EDIT: Like I said before I need a motherboard for SLI so I can Dual Video Cards unless there is a better solution for that.

Have you already bought these parts? If not get a 560ti or 7870 for your graphics card. They will both do much better and use less power.

 

[kieshon]

I see, I have one gtx 550TI but I still need the other one but now that you say that I am probably going to get one of the ones you listed. What is your suggestion out of those two? Also, about the other parts I have already bought the CPU cooler and the PSU.

If you can return the 55t0ti I would do so.

Your PSU looks good. Cooler is fine but not needed. Here is a build I'd get:

The 2nd build is a much better build. It allows for a meaningful Crossfire in time as it is needed and gives you all the current high end CPU/mobo stuff you need.

Thank you for all of this information. I am definitely going to get a new 7850 or I am thinking of getting a GTX560 instead. And yeah, I had bought the liquid cooling system because the stock one I had in my PC died so I had to by one so I could get my school work done I also keep forgetting to say this but I also don't need a DVD drive. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: I also am going to be recording videos of games and rendering them as well on this computer.

 

[adgjlsfhk]

One thing you should check. Get 1333 MHz ram. It is not that much faster, but it is only about $5 more.

 

[kieshon]

Will do good sir.
