Find my parts

[mrapples74]

I am learnng a lot about computer so i can build one. I can find the part to make a computer in my price range but it feels like overkill. though i can aford it i would like if i did not have to pay as much.
I have 1500 dollers to spend and i would like to run 3-4 monitor
The most damanding game i would like to play is battlefield 3 on high settings.
i would like it to be good for moives and multi tasking on the monitors
-i like intel mobo 1155
-dont know what kind of gpu amd or nvida

Do you need peripherals, Windows, and monitors to be included in that budget?

 

[mrapples74]

window yes monitors no keyboards and mouse if you know a good yes
the $1500 does not include the key board and mouse

it is fine if you go over 1500

This is $1523.22 total. IDK if there's any point in trying to spend more than this. It's already a very powerful build.

 

[mrapples74]

ok i just didnt know if you had a little more you could make it thst much better

Well, if you throw in another $100, you can get a higher capacity SSD such as the Vertex 4 256GB instead of the Plextor M5S 128GB that is in my current recommendation if you want to. It wouldn't help gaming performance, but you could put more on the SSD.

 

[mrapples74]

thanks

 

[luciferano]

You're welcome. Good luck with your build

 

[mrapples74]

if i wanted to use nvida for the gpu what would i use

 

[luciferano]

You'd have to spend more money, but I wouldn't recommend going below two GTX 670s.

Just remember, Nvidia's GTX 6xx cards generally don't work as well with large resolutions as AMD's 79xx cards.

 

[mrapples74]

do i have to have 2 of the 6xx or 79xx

 

[luciferano]

I'd recommend that you stick with the two 7950s. They scale better than the 670s with high resolutions and are better for overclocking.

 

[mrapples74]

ok

 

[luciferano]

What resolution do you want to play on? You say 3-4 displays, but not what resolution they'd be. Also, I recommend sticking with three, at least when you're playing games. Four would have bezels in the middle of your view and that's non-optimal for gaming.

 

[mrapples74]

im am not going to use the 4 for gaming it will be place above the three and would be use for form of the game im playing i could run the 4 one could run off the mobo gpu

There is no on-board GPU. The CPU has an on-die GPU, but there's no GPU on the motherboard.

IDK if you can use the IGP of this system simultaneously with discrete graphics on the PCIe buses. If not, then you should be able to attache the fourth display to the graphics cards without a performance hit anyway or you could throw in a $30 or less graphics card for it.

Less than $20 (after MIR) for a 6450 is a great deal if that becomes necessary.

i was going to switch to the p8z77-v mobo

You can do that, but it doesn't change anything from what I said. The GPU is on the CPU, not the motherboard, and the integrated GPU and the discrete GPUs might not work simultaneously.

If you want to change your motherboard, then you can do so; that board is compatible with this system. However, I recommend against buying such an expensive motherboard. It won't do much of anything that most cheaper boards can't do unless you're a suicide overclocker.

The title made me think this post was sexual. LOL

I want the better mobo for the Wi-Fi GO and other things for 50 doller more it does not sound that bad

and i dont think i would have to buy a cheap graphic card just to run 1 screen i would plung it into the HDMI port on the mobo

A PCIe WiFi adapter would be cheaper and have superior performance and like I said, I'm not sure if you even can use the integrated graphics of that system when you are also using PCIe graphics. If you can, then don't worry about another card, but if you can't, then it is something to consider.

It's not that bad price-wise, but it's inferior unless there are other features that you will use.

Regardless, you don't need to justify your choices to me. It's your money, I wouldn't dare try to tell you what to do with it, I will only make recommendations. No matter what you choose to do, good luck to you in it.
