I have done a couple of forums but I want to do one more and hopefully I get all of my questions answered. Im building this computer for animation and graphics design major and of course for gaming. The CPU I was looking at is Intel i7-3770k, EVGA GTX 670 FTW for graphics card. Also im looking at an ASUS P8H77-V LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard. I am open for any changes and ideas to finish the build. I was thinking about getting dual 21" monitors but thought about 1 27" for now. 16 GB of ram and I would like 1 TB of interal hard drive and a nice SSD. Everything is coming from newegg.com and like in the thread I have a $2000 budget. I need to know if all other parts are compatible with each other because I would like to start the build as soon as possible. Please help me and please give me all the information I need. Different graphics card that may be better than the one I have. I want to have the best graphics and a bad ass computer that $2000 can buy. I also no matter what are going to get the NZXT Phantom case because it looks amazing.
