Hi all
As the title says,need help with a high end gaming system build. My first atempt at building a PC so need as much help as I can get
I am an MMO fanatic and also just getting into MOBAs as of late.Looking to build this sytem to play on ultra for Wow:WoD for sure and looknig to be able to play on as high settings as possible for future games such as Everquest next and ArcheAge just to give a few examples.Also would like to keep an eye to the future for upgradability.
Looking at this monitor for the build Asus ROG Swift PG278Q G-Sync Monitor so keep that in mind .Looking to have it up and running by November.
Budget -$2500.00 Canadian.
SLI ready
Option to Overclock but not looking to do this right away.
Thank you all in advance

Is the monitor included in the $2500? It will make a difference as that monitor will be around $800.Thanks both of you for the replies,as to your question Socialassassin. No the Monitor is not included in the budget amount

This would look badass as well as being a beast PC!
Hi Socialassasin,just needed your opinion on this system again.Going to start buying the parts next week. I changed the monitor to the new Ben Q 24"G-Sync Monitor thats due out sometime this fall .Is there anything you would change/update about this build before I start ordering the pieces in your opinion ? 4xSLI capable and all.
Thanks a lot in advance.
I still like my original build but a couple things to keep in mind:
The case I selected is a full tower case, if you want something a bit smaller there are a lot of good mid towers
The power supply is overkill for one card but I was planning ahead for SLI.
Good luck with your build!

mix and match brands/parts but that'll get you there minus the case. I did that quickly with crappy internet so what I chose may not be the most current/best version of MB or SSD/HDD.
