1; get i7 3770k
2:get seagate drives as they are cheaper for the same performance
3: get a ssd like a vertex 4, crucial m4, or mushkin chronos deluxe
4:if you are looking for a gold power supply, get a AX750w or a seasonic x760w power supply. the seasonic one is better
5:get a low profile set of ram like mushkin blackline or gskill ares. they must be low profile to fit under a heatsink
6:just get a extreme4 or a gigabyte z77x-ud5h mobo. the gigabyte has more features and the extreme4 has all the necessary features included
7:closed-loop sucks unless it is double-thick rad or dual rad like h100. get a good heatsink like the hyper 212 evo, thermalright silver arrow or noctua nh-d14

any monitor with 1080p, 2ms response is good for gaming. 120hz is a bonus

pk Seasonic 760 W , the COOLER MASTER SILENT PRO GOLD - 800W is also great?
the extreme 6 is more powerfull than extreme 4? the gigabite is 40$ more!
the Nh-D14 is too big!!

 

[Shinseina]

Hi Suprem0,

Are you planning to OC your processor? If so investing in a good HS/F is crucial. I personally think the noctua is also very large, but does its job extremely well.

If you're not looking to OC then just use the HS/F that comes with the processor.

Here's a suggestion for a monitor. I use 3 of these right now and absolutely love them.

ASUS VS Series VS238H-P Black 23" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 50,000,000:1 - $169.99

As for the PSU. If you're going to do SLI GTX 670 get the Seasonic 760W power supply. 800W is overkill for that GPU, and Seasonic makes arguably the best PSU's.


Happy Building,

Shinseina

 

[Suprem0]

Alors?

 

[hellfire24]

both ax750 and x750 are made by seasonic,i would suggest corsair TX750 V2.

pk Seasonic 760 W , the COOLER MASTER SILENT PRO GOLD - 800W is also great?
the extreme 6 is more powerfull than extreme 4? the gigabite is 40$ more!

theres virtually no difference between the extrme4 and 6. the gigabyte will be better since it has dual nics.

seasonic is much better. the only reason the x760w is better than the ax750w is because it has a better fan and hybrid fan technology

 

[hellfire24]

what's the use of hybrid fan when the fan on ax750 is almost dead silent?
http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=236

The Good:

80 Plus Gold efficiency.
Quiet operation, even when at full load.
Fully modular cabling.
Good voltage regulation
Great ripple suppression excluding the +5VSB oddity we seen in

 

[TheBigTroll]

hybrid fan makes no noise until 35-40% load which translates into 262.5-300w of power draw. then the fan starts spinning slowly. judging by how effiicent a i5 and a 670 is, the only way you can get the psu spinning is when you start gaming

 

[TheBigTroll]

plus, they are both made by seasonic so why not get it directly from them

 

[Suprem0]

i want my Pc for Gaming and little editing, should i get i7 or i5?
cuz i heard there will be a shuttering if i have gtx 670 sli+ i7!

 

[azeem40]

Cuz they are more expensive and there are same solutions from other companies.

 

[Suprem0]

didn't understand!

Here's a suggestion for a monitor. I use 3 of these right now and absolutely love them. http://www.egala.info/g.php

^That link doesn't work.

@OP: What you first need to do is select a good monitor and build around it. Here is a great IPS monitor by Dell- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260047&Tpk=u2412m 310$

Then you build around that monitor. Knowing a single 670 or 680 could max any game out at 1920x1200 do not waste your money and get two. Wait until you need a second one to play the games that you want and by then the price of the cards will have dropped significantly.

i7 3770k- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116501 360$

MSI Z77A-GD65- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130643 190$ Also a Tom's Hardware recommended buy

Corsair Vengeance LP 16gb 1600mhz- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233198 93$ 1600mhz is the sweet spot for price and performance.

Asus GTX 670- http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-GTX-670-DC2-2GD5-GTX670-DC2-2GD5/dp/B0081IFO2C/ref=br_lf_m_1000797571_1_4_ttl?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&s=electronics&pf_rd_p=1369432702&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_i=1000797571&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0VZES915ZCJ4EP3R2VC1 420$

Corsair 600t- http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Graphite-Mid-Tower-Computer-CC600TM/dp/B004X63JWS/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1340050560&sr=1-2&keywords=600t 140$ This case has fan filters keeping you parts dust free so the stay cooler

Rosewill Capstone 750w PSU- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182073 110$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152245 This is a very solid PSU rated highly by IMO the best PSU reviewer JonnyGuru. 750w is plenty for SLI BTW.

Samsung F4 2tb HDD- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152245 120$ Putting HDD's in Raid 0 is risky because it has a higher fail rate. An HDD is more of a storage drive for things you don't need to load quickly while the SSD is for your OS and most used programs.

OCZ Vertex 4 256gb SSD- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227792 240$

Cooler Master Hyper 612- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103106 50$ This is plenty for a good overclock with Ivy Bridge. Also I advise you not to up the voltage whatsoever because the temps skyrocket. A solid 4.2ghz OC is plenty for any application.

LOL'd
i am sure you didn't clicked on the link i posted.the platform of both the power supply is same including the fan,ax750 is completely silent during normal gaming and exceptionally quiet under load.

 

[TheBigTroll]

i told you it doesnt have hybird fan. i already know that they are basically the same thing with a different sticker. according to the corsair website it doesnt have hybrid fan.

[hellfire24]

^so what's the use?

 

[TheBigTroll]

its better since it doesnt make any noise duh...makes more sense if you just buy a power supply from the original manufacturer

 

[hellfire24]

seasonic unit is $160,corsair unit is $155(after rebates),i say both of them suck for this price tag.
@OP,Rosewill Capstone Gold 750 modular for $140 is a way better deal-
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182264
hell,even a better deal-
LEPA G900w Gold certified modular unit-
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817194083
$140 after rebates,it's a rebranded Enermax which is one of the best psu maker.
but i would suggest going with capstone as it is more than enough for your build and made by Superflower which is a more reputable brand.
