4x4 for Quad Channel RAM, if you want it faster, OC in the BiOS. I chose reference cards because they are nicer looking, and for 2x GPU setups they are better for temperature. The Dark Rock Pro 3 will be dead silent and cool. The 4820K is the same as the 4770K, but it is X79 allowing for Quad Channel RAM. SSD for OS and everything else on the HDD plus you can reuse your old HDD for even more storage. Hope I helped  :)

So I built a PC before, but I didn't really know what I was doing and that came out alright, but now I have even less of an idea about hardware, so I need your help because I really have no idea what I'm doing.

 

Is this good for the price? (try not to laugh too hard if I'm wrong please :P)

I want something that will be great for playing games, and rendering in Maya. I already have the stuff that I missed out, so don't worry about that.

 

If it sucks please suggest things that are better for around the same price. :)

What is your budget? Do you need an OS or peripherals?

His budget is around 1700 pounds I suppose.

What is your budget? Do you need an OS or peripherals?

I'm not really limited by a budget, but I'd prefer not to go much higher than what I currently have. Also, I already have all of my peripherals and OS, since I'll be taking them from my current PC.

 

What are you doing with it?

Playing games, maxed at 1920 x 1080. and rendering in Maya.

 

Add a hard drive if you need more storage. (250gb isn't much)

I'm fine with storage. I'll have close to 3TB with my current drives.

bit overkill playing games at 1080p with 2 780's... one is enough.

Thanks. I don't need the case or the HDD though, so it works out even cheaper for me. :)

bit overkill playing games at 1080p iwht 2 780's... one is enough.

So I'll buy a better monitor then. :P

 

Seriously though, will the second card be of any use to me in the near future?

yeah get a better monitor.

 

if you're gonna plan on gaming on 3 screens then SLI will probably be in use, but if you're not then, just wasting money. spend it on something else.

I'll probably just get the one card then and then buy either another 780 or a completely different card if I need one.
