Hello community, I am looking into building my next stationary gaming computer. I have a $2000 budget I can spend and I need help and suggestions on what I should get.
Here's my current Ideal setup.
i7 3770k or 3550k (is it big difference)?
Asus sabertooth z77 mother board
Ripjaw 1866 16gb ram
1000w Rosewill power supply
And here are my questions.
Currently I already have NZXT phamtom full tower case, Should I change the case for a better airflow? I am planning to Sli/Crossfire my GPU later. If yes which one? I am looking into one with side panel if possible. Also i am considering Rosewill blackhawk full tower, even though it doesn't have side panel it seems to have great airflow.
Here is my second question, if i don't have to change the case, will H100i water cooling be able to fit my phantom case? Is there any other water cooling system within or below $100 that is better than 100i? I am planning to OC my CPU to at least 4.0 and at max 4.5. I am doing water cooling mainly to keep my rig looks clean.
Here is the last question, which GPU should i buy? 6702gb vs 4gb vs 6802gb vs 4gb? which brand? I don't know if i want to keep my GPU at speed stock or OC it. I am pretty worried about it overheating, but if it doesn't i'll probably OC it by a little bit. I will be buying 1 card for now and SLI it later. I will be playing at 120hz 1080p most of the time, but i'll be doing 5760x1080 sometime for fun too. Hoping to get at least Med/High setting with 2x MSAA at 60+fps when I'm gaming with surround. I am more interested in Nvidia GPU because i mainly want a great fps in BF3. But, i did not forget 7970ghz edition out just yet, so if yo guys can give some suggestions about the graphic card that would be great! I like the GPU to last at least 2 years and possibly 3 years.
Thank you in advance!
