bought from amazon and newegg


if he is going to play on 3 screens this build isnt bad, otherwise a 1000$ pc would be enough
haswell the new cpus will come soon, i would wait.

Pssh.

Firstly you don't need a GTX 780 in SLI.

Secondly you don't need a GTX 780 in SLI.

Third you don't need to spend 2k on a build.

SLI it later if you need it. Although by the time you do, newer and better GPUs will be out.

I very much doubt your friend needs SLI for such a GPU. Unless he's running multiple very high resolution monitors

and gaming on them at high settings too.

I could get the build cheaper but you would be sacrificing a lot. I wouldn't recommend SLI 780's anyways.

I hate to say this but it would be really stupid to pair a non overclocked version of an i5 with a very overclock capable GPU. And if you're gonna pay $2K or more for a build you'd better be prepared to overclock.

This would probably make more sense. I don't think dual 780s can be done unless you're willing to make some sacrifices:

I wish PC parts picker could pick up on Bundle prices from Microcenter.
While Microcenter is not everywhere it can help many is moderate to low budget builds.
$169 and $229 for 3570k and 3770k plus $40.00 off MOBO even if it is on sale is hard to overlook.

 

[X79]

Indeed, I forgot the K-edition CPU. I was meaning to add it.

this kind of build isnt a best bang for the buck build for sure.

[jellyfishPC]

Woah, chillax there buddy. You definitely don't need the GTX 780 in SLI. That is beyond overkill. Save your money and buy some games, or perhaps a nice IPS monitor to give yourself some "eye candy," because that GPU is going to give you some major performance.

He's planning to almost max out most of the games today and upcoming on a single 2560x1440 monitor and since it's a higher resolution than a regular 1080p, were assuming that a GTX 780 in SLI would totally help in this case. Thanks for your opinion anyway.

I wonder if he knows of the drawbacks of SLI.

Gtx 670 will almost max. All games easily

 

[johnvonmacz]

I wonder if he knows of the drawbacks of SLI.

Me and my friend are both aware of the problems that may happen using an SLI setup like micro-stutter and game compatibilities. But for sure all of these problems have been pretty much solved by NVIDIA and even if there will be some micro stutter stuff that might happen, they made a software called Nvidia Inspector to fix those stuff.

SLI 670's prolly yeah, but a single 670? Not on a 1440p resolution.

 

[Marcopolo123]

Yes sli gtx670 is fine, its only about 20-25% slower then gtx 780 sli

 

[giltyler]

I would wait for the new Haswell CPU in June on a high end build due to the Platform change.
It would be best to go single 780 to start and only an a second if really needed.
Use the extra money on the best quality monitor you can get.
NCIX CA does offer price matching to keep the source on parts down.

 

[sifatraquib]

Why would you want to SLI GTX 780? I'd rather suggest you to get a GTX Titan and SLI it afterwards. And if you can of course, wait for the Haswell to come. Here's what I combined :

There is so much wrong with that build I do not know where to start.
1)OP is in Canada and will not be able to go to Microcenter for that in store only deal.
2) Had the OP been able to go in to Microcenter he wasted $40.00 on not using the CPU MOBO Bundle.
3)3770K is not required in a gaming oriented build.
4)Dominator platinum is another waste of money Vengeance is better value by far.
5)780 is within 5-10% of Titan and saves $350.00
I will stop there.

Happy gaming.

There is so much wrong with that build I do not know where to start.
1)OP is in Canada and will not be able to go to Microcenter for that in store only deal.
2) Had the OP been able to go in to Microcenter he wasted $40.00 on not using the CPU MOBO Bundle.
3)3770K is not required in a gaming oriented build.
4)Dominator platinum is another waste of money Vengeance is better value by far.
5)780 is within 5-10% of Titan and saves $350.00
I will stop there.

OP is in Canada and will not be able to go to Microcenter for that in store only deal. - There's no mentioning of that in the main post.

Well first of all I did not exceed the budget, did I?
Is he not getting a $2,100 build? I myself wouldn't go with a i5 with a budget like that.
Well none denies Dominator Platinum is better than Corsair Vengeance.
We're talking about a $2,100 build here. GTX Titan > GTX 780. A single card is obviously better than a SLI. Later on if he SLIs GTX Titan, it would of course be superior than a 780 SLI.
When I'm getting a $2,100 build, I'd obviously not want only a better gaming machine. I'd want a beast.

you can conclude that dominator platinum is the same as vengeance as for as it goes. its not going to perform better nor overclock better since the rule is that if it can overclock to the next speed bin, its going to go in the next speed bin

you are talking about a 5% difference in perfromance but a 40% increase in cost. no where does it show that you are spending money properly. its just like recommending a 680 over a gtx 670 when they literally perform the same

Oh I completely agree - never ever pay the ridiculous premiums for Dominator Platinum. RAM - with as volatile as the prices are now - is not the place to throw away money on a build.
