it kinda defines a HIGH-END pc!!
let me ask u if u'd like to save a few bucks? we might be able to..
wihtout sacrificing noticable performance

 

[WatIsAComputer]

There just ideas XD but i would love to know ur opinion if there is a cheaper option or if (for example: there is too much power) anything i just really need a second brain XD.

[WatIsAComputer]

And does it all work? I mean together?

 

[cookybiscuit]

You are making some pretty terrible choices if you ask me.

Swap out the 680's for two Asus non-TOP 2GB 670's. The motherboard for a Asrock Extreme 4, and the CPU for a 3570k. Cut the RAM down to 8GB.

 

[WatIsAComputer]

i can see ur point of the RAM, I don't really know much about MotherBoards so i will agree with you there but why not the high end video cards and the 3570k? i thought the 680's were better and the 3820k was newer so im guessing better? Or I could be a fool.

 

[cookybiscuit]

(All assuming you are building this system entirely for gaming.) i7's do not benefit gaming at all, the 3570k is as fast as it gets for gaming. While the 680 is faster, its not that much faster for it to justify the enormous price increase. Its 10% faster if that, with two of them in SLI and taking overclocking into account the difference is negligible. I don't know what resolution you are playing at but unless it is 2560x1440 or greater then there is no need for 4GB.

 

[WatIsAComputer]

interesting very interesting very helpful and ur completely right its 100% for gaming. Give me some perspective 2560x1440 how big of a monitor because i was thinking of getting two monitors should I?

 

[cookybiscuit]

You are going for an Nvidia system, which supports a minimum of 3 monitors in surround. If you go for three 2560x1440 displays you are going to be running a massive resolution, while it may look very pretty it will use alot of GPU power, even for SLI 670's its a big ask, I'd consider adding a third if you were going that route, or drop to three 1080p displays.

 

[WatIsAComputer]

im getting two 27" monitors do i need a 3rd GPU?

 

[dheeraj9933]

Dude,
If u want to enjoy gaming, just get a single monitor, dual monitors are not very enjoyable.
Just get a single 32" That will be best for gaming.
It wont be demanding and will be cheaper too!! and single monitors are just better for gaming, ofcourse this is just my opinion...

 

[WatIsAComputer]

oh ok

 

[dheeraj9933]

So.....
u getting just one monitor?
cuz then we can move on to the next part of configuration??

 

[WatIsAComputer]

yes one monitor XD

 

[dheeraj9933]

ok,
what resolution bcoz if u r getting an HDTV like 1080p or a little higher a single GTX670 will be enough
http://www.nvidia.in/object/geforce-gtx-670-in.html#pdpContent=2
a 550W PSU will be more than enough for that.
for RAM 8 GB or 16GB is enough, if u want just gaming 8GB is enough.
For the cpu....
do u want to overclock?

 

[WatIsAComputer]

im currently getting the Asus VH238H Black 23" Full HD HDMI LED Backlight LCD Monitor w/Speakers. I got the 750W Power Supply. And I don't know how to overlock :/.

 

[cookybiscuit]

And I don't know how to overlock :/.

Easiest thing in the world. All you do is go into the BIOS for your motherboard (usually by hitting del during boot), leave the voltage at auto. There will be a preset saying something like the multiplier for all cores, you change that to 42, and you are done. After that you just keep an eye on temperatures for a while and test stability with a program like prime95. If you need more speed you can bump the voltage up slightly in manual mode, and increase the multiplier some more.

 

[dheeraj9933]

well,
if u want to overclock or not is your decesion.
But if u dont overclock, u'll save a ton of money.
Almost enough to buy another CPU!! if u dont overclock, u'll save on CPU just get an i5-3570, just get a H77 mobo, and not need for the liquid or any kind of cooling, stock coolers will do fine.
But if u want to overclock, that is just your decesion....

 

[WatIsAComputer]

Sorry iv been away :/ exams But your point about not overclocking i doubt i will as its my first build and i dont want to fuck it up maybe in the future but with the i5-3570 i dont need any cooling kit? But should i overclock i really dont know?

 

[dheeraj9933]

if u want to overclock or not is a decesion u need to make while building your build.
u'll have to get a "k" processor, a cooling system(fans or liquid) think about good airflow in the case, a good motherboard and u'll need to learn about it too, so that u dont mess it up.
not overclocking will save a lot of money too.
and trust me an i5-3570 gives enough performance for games!!
now u decide weather u want to overclock or not. and also what u decided on a monitor, are u going for an HD tv or a resolution even higher than that??

 

[WatIsAComputer]

no overlocking with a Dell UltraSharp U2312HM 23" IPS LED Monitor

 

[dheeraj9933]

Well, guess what? a GTX 670 or a 7970 will be more than enough!!
and if u dont overclock,
a non-k i5-3570 with a decent mobo will be enough too!!
for case a mid-tower will do fine but a tower will have better air flow and room for your components.
We have already decided on the PSU, and since i dont OC no kind of cooling required,
and for RAM no need to get the most expensive one,
they only make slight difference,
a 1600 MHz or even 1366 is good enough too.
and since u saved all this money, u can get an SSD!!
120GB perhaps...
for the rest of the build,
if u have any doubts u can ask,
or we can start listing the final parts!

 

[WatIsAComputer]

Iv changed my plans quite alot now XD. Im having trouble finding a MotherBoard in its original boxing for cheap :/. Im Using Amazon as i cant use new egg and is cheaper than other websites iv seen. I would like to buy everything from Amazon.com (american) But they sometimes dont ship to UK so i this is it so far. If u can see any problem tell me and or any advice u have.

Sorry for the late reply,
Now lets Go over the parts in the same order.

Keyboard- Acc. to me u dont really need an expensive gaming keyboard and mouse for good goming.

PSU- I'm going to suggest u to not SLI, so i'll nothing more than a 550W(decent quality- bronze certified will do too)

RAM- Very good

Mouse - Same as keyboard (not that important)

Monitor - Very good

Case - A full tower wil be really good for airflow
but still ~100 euro should be fine

HDD- Good choice

Motherboard - http://www.amazon.co.uk/H77M-LGA1155--buffered-max-16GB-Ethernet/dp/B0082CYOHI/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1366044293&sr=1-3&keywords=lga+1155
this should be more than enough, mobo dosen't really affect performance too much as long as everything is compatible.
no need for an expensive z77 an b75 or h77 will do just fine, since u dont want to oc or anything.

GPU- The most imp. part.
As long as u get a 670 u dont need two of them, one of them is more than enough for 1080p.
Save the money for your next GPU, plus SLI is not as great as u may think, and buying 1 powerful card is always better than 2.
So please dont buy 2 670's just a waste of money.

SSD - This will make a HUGE difference in day to day PC use and load times.

DVD- i dont like them

CPU- an i5-3570(non-k) is the one u should get since u dont overclock(oc)

SO...
Any further changes?
or any questions about my opinions? or doubts?
