NobodyTheThird got a reaction from skullbringer in Need some advice on part choice.
Didn't even know there were LGA1150 Xeons. Learn something new everyday.

If anything, you helped me decide on the monitors. Thanks!

Let me make you something
Under 3,000 - 780 Ti in SLI for pushing those 3 monitors (I run a similar set up, but with less horsepower)

Nice choice, cant find anything negative.
Just to give you an option, you could replace the 4670k with a Xeon E3-1230v3. Its basically an i7 4770k (hyperthreading), that comes clocked 100 MHz lower, and costs 50 bucks less. Its a Xeon, so you cant change the volts, but you can actually overclock it a bit to like 4.0 or 4.2 GHz with stock volts. Also it needs less volts as its binned to a higher standard, and therefore creates less heat per clock. Especially with latest Haswell chips, heat is a big issue, and from my experience a Xeon is a good compromise between a 4670k and a 4770k.

Like most guys say it's a matter of preference. I gamed on Xbox 360 for quite a while and always turned off any assists possible since they were more annoying than useful. It takes skill to play FPS or any game in particular using a mouse + keyboard and same with a controller since you are limited to how accurate you can be. I know some of you may disagree about my view about controllers but if in right hands, some gamers can be insanely accurate with them. I gamed on PC ever since I was 5 so I guess I got too sucked into PC to stay with consoles for too long. Anyhow not gonna tire you with my life story xD

It's kind of ironic: Super mega fast Internet to China, yet a lot of the content is blocked. Surely that's like getting a $1+ million race-car for grandma so she can go to the corner store and buy eggs.
