Don't be so harsh on him. He needs advice on how to make his build better, not people telling him to learn more.

I would shy away from the 680, for a lot less yo can get a 670 which is more or less the same perf wise, or get a 7970for even less, and then oc if u want, max any game for a while. I don't see the point in the eatx board seeing as you can get the same perf for about 150-220, and then you can save money and get a smaller cheaper case with lots of fans (I think you want lots of cooling right?). I am going to hope you have an optical drive somewhere. Other than that it should be really good for maxing games (you can always xfire sli 2 cards in the future, so remember no need for the 680)

High quality parts at a lower price, with plenty of room for upgrading. You don't really need the i7 BUT the coming generation should utilize more than 4 cores, ie. they will take advantage of the i7's hyper threading. Plus it's obviously in your budget.

If you RAID 0 those SSDs your going to get top level performance as well.

Sorry for not including the OS but even with it being $85 still far below the maximum budget.

Also I will edit this if you need a monitor the single 7970 will drive that thing to ultra for forever and a year at 1920x1080.

That is a VERY overpriced mobo! lol . Thats more than it costs to get a X79 platform. Maybe i can help. Since your getting a "k" CPU i recommend the hyper 212 evo so you can overclock. You also only need 8gb ram (more than enough for any games for a while) and 1000w is overkill, a xfx 850, or any high quality 850w would be a better on the wallet. Also, the 670 is less than 10% slower than the 680 but costs $150 more. So you should get sli 670 from the savings i got you on the other parts.

if your not planning on water cooling then i dont see why you need that motherboard, asrock z77 extreme 4 will do
ram at 1866 arent that much better than a 1600mhz or even 1333mhz
ssd get ocz vertex 4 256gb its way better than the plus

He'll learn. You don't have to tell him to.

He'll learn. You don't have to tell him to.

haha suuuure
and your h100i suggestion and ssd suggestions are outdated lol
swiftech h220 for cooling
ocz vertex 4 or since he have a good budget samsung 840 pro since its not a waste of money
psu: corsair 750w v2
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021

he will need to sli if hes going to add another gpu or just get the 550w version of the psu i mentioned if you wont gonna sli in the future

hey im just giving you some "adivces" as well

 

[wandercab]

what about this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DA5l

 

[SHORYUKEN]

I wouldn't really go with that card. 670 is plenty, but if you really want like 100+ frames and have a 120 Hz and don't want to save money, go for it. That power supply is a huge overkill. Get like a 600W power supply for SeaSonic.

 

[lhikary]

what about this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DA5l

this motherboard is just better than the asus one
: asrock z77 extreme 4
ssd: the one you choosing is SATA 2!! Nearly every ssd nowdays is SATA 3
OCZ vertex 4 is a better choice
psu: you dont need that much power
corsair 750w v2 is enough
and for the case its your choice but i suggest thermaltake chaser mk-1 have dust filter on every intake and cheaper
if you get a single 670 now it will be enough for every game at ultra and above 50 fps on 1080p

 

[wandercab]

would it be one 670 or two

how about this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DArw

 

[SHORYUKEN]

Overkill of a power supply.

 

[wandercab]

i think i got it http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DACn
with this build i get the gtx 680 the sata 3 SSD and an extra free 8GB of ram that comes with the mobo also i save $200

 

[SHORYUKEN]

Do you really need that Wireless card? Do you not have your router/modem setup with your computer?

 

[SHORYUKEN]

Apart from that, everything is fine except I HIGHLY suggest 670 > 680. You won't notice the difference.

 

[compnewb_12]

YOU DONT NEED THE 680 it is complete over pay for max games at a frame rate so high with a 670 or 7970 that the extra 10 from a 680 wont be noticeable
