Build the best GAMING pc you can1500$ MAX // 780ti is a MUST

Anything you want. PCPartPicker is preferred. 780ti is the ONLY requirement.

 

Balance wherever you can. Priorities in order of importance: Gaming > Editing > everything else.

 

(DO NOT FACTOR IN PSU, CASE, OR HARD DRIVE FOR MASS STORAGE, OR OPERATING SYSTEM)

 

(I have a Fractal Newton 1000w PSU, Fractal Design Define R4, WD Blue 1TB hard drive, and Windows 8.1 OEM 64 bit)

 

(All these are leftovers, please do not ask about them.)

 

BUDGET MAXIMUM: 1500 US Dollars (No more than that, only 10$ dollars overboard will be tolerated.)

 

pretty please?

What RPM is the Blue? What efficiency is the PSU? What R4 do you have? Why the the 780Ti a must?

Please do read all the above text before replying, thanks.

you know if it's a windows 8,1 OEM that is leftover from a previous build it won't work on another build right? It's tied to the mobo

WOW so troll

With SLI 780 Ti's bottlenecks are irrelevant, mostly because you have SLI 780 Ti's and the massive epeen that comes with it but also because: Reasons, Magic also: More reasons, GPU pixies, Gaben, Bacon, Pie

If you want to go down to 8GB of DDr3 u can, just though it would help with video editing. If you want an optical, it shouldn't break the bank with a $19 Optical Drive. Also EVGA classified FTW
