Hi everyone and thanks for checking out the thread first of all and advance thank you on advice given .
Anyway i'm looking to build a gaming rig to play current and future games for the next 2 years ill say before an upgrade is needed. ( long shot i know).
Approximate Purchase Date: roughly and hopefully by the end of this month
Budget Range: $800-roughly $1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, 3D movies/games and video editing (youtube)
Are you buying a monitor: No currently have a 120hz 1080p 3d 50 inch tv. ( any users have a similar setup?)
Parts to Upgrade: Fresh Build
Do you need to buy OS: Yes, thinking Windows 8
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon(preferred to save on taxes), Tiger direct, Newegg
Location: Hollywood FL 33021
Parts Preferences: Up in the air, hear mixed feelings on AMD or Intel, So far intel has won. Prefer Nvidia for 3D capabilities
Overclocking: Maybe ( always nervous of heating)
SLI or Crossfire: Yes near future unless its cheaper and more effective to use two cards over one for better performance.
Your Monitor Resolution: 50 inch passive 3d, 120hz, vizio, 1080p.
Additional Comments: Would like it to be at least 1 or 2 colors that match, sound can be medium but can handle something slightly loud..
I have a build i kinda just threw together tonight http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2l7IL
I know i need a cpu cooler, fans, and thinking if i should buy a sound card or not.
I did want to water cool the entire PC but that seems out of the question since the price is high atm, so any advice on the next best way cover great cooling would be perfect.
