    Will Do. It'll be awhile yet though. Late January, Early February.

    The red/white theme was actually unintentional lol. They have Blue now too, according to Corsair's website. Might go for that. Swapped the 1080s, hadn't seen those. Thanks for the heads up on those bundles, the GoW4 one might get missed but I should be able to take advantage of the Watch Dogs 2.

    I knew that the mobo was ridiculous. That part picker list was more first draft, high dollar placeholders. I like to estimate high, then decide after that. Makes some of these prices more palatable when they get lower as you go, instead of higher. Sounds like I'm probably going with George's build, but the 6850k, maybe a few other tweaks. The build is far enough away, maybe I can catch some good sales in between times. Thanks for the help everyone!

    Yeah, I knew I was. That's why I came here. It's my first build with a budget over $600, hard not to want to just go crazy. May I ask the same question I asked George, would the 6850k be worth having dual x16 sli?
  6. aeternusanima
    I like the 2 1080s. Would the 6850k be worth the extra $100 to have dual x16 SLI? What about overclocking the GPUs without liquid cooling?
  7. aeternusanima
    That looks awesome! Would the 8 core be better than the 6 cores for graphic design programs such as photoshop? Enough to double the processor budget?
  8. aeternusanima
    That's the plan, although I bet you're right on the 500GB.

    1. Budget & Location $3200, Texas 2. Aim Gaming and Graphic Design. 3. Monitors Unsure. Budgeted separate, I'm between a x34 or a multi display set up. 4. Peripherals I need a mouse and keyboard, but they don't count against the budget. 5. Why are you upgrading? Replacing several year old, low end build. This will be my first "High-End" build and I'm having trouble not being a kid in a candy store. http://pcpartpicker.com/list/JRDPzM Thanks for any advice! Edit: Oh yeah and the plan is to later upgrade to 2 1080s.
