[chitranjan]

grammar check: "...and it is great if you want are going for a multiscreen setup..." in the graphics card section. Also in the graphics card section, are you recommending people to get two gtx 780ti's, or did i read that wrong?

[TheSLSAMG]

Not bad at all, but I would switch the i7 for an i5 and the single 780Ti for two GTX 780s.

 

But don't listen to me. A setup as such would not be "recommended" but would be more powerful.

[Hotnuggets]

Also, no PSU recommendation for the build?

2x 780 ti? Well, there's high end. Then there's overkill...

[malaki]

why go for a matx board? if your a gigabyte fan then go for the regular G1.Sniper 5

or 

Since I like Asus the M6E is great too

for a good build i'd say put less into CPU adn more into GPU and a nice monitor, the new asus ROG monitor is a big deal for a lot of people. Also 4K is a big buying point for people right now as well. Maybe go FX 8320 or I5, a single 780TI, a BenQ 144Hz monitor and the cheaper dell 4K monitor as a standby display or video/photo editing display. At a price like this, saying the 4770K is a good buy for future proofing isn't a good idea, for the price a single 780TI and a 4930K would be better spent money. No one is buying anything like this just for gaming and if they are, they have to much money and think they need it. YOu are buying something like this for livestreaming or video recoding or heavy 3D/video/photo editing. And that 6 core 12 thread cpu will really help for all these scinarios.

It's a good post but the grammar and pacing leave's a lot to be desired.

 

The article is somewhat confusing, one minute you are talking about building a high-end gaming PC, then you are talking about making a PC that is future proof. For a high-end gaming rig you don't need to spend anywhere near as much, the components you're suggesting are seriously expensive and seriously overpowered. My advice would be to make seperate articles on a "future" proof PC, and one that is focused on gaming.

 

Here are some things I would change:

• 16GB 2133mhz ram -> 8GB 1600mhz
• Geforce 780/R9 290 instead.
• intel i7 to i5 or AMD 8350
• SSD does not increase FPS in games, so pretty unnecessary from a gaming standpoint.
• AX860i is a massive power supply for what could be a far more efficient setup.

Most of the stuff you've included is really way overkill for a gaming rig that will play games at 1080p on high settings.

 

The peripherals you mention are REALLY expensive and are again right at the *very* top tier of performance, they aren't strictly necessary for an enjoyable gaming experience. And a closer look at racing wheels or other peripherals might have added some much needed depth to the article.

I would definitely do some more thorough research into these topics, especially if you're going to publish an article on it. It does sort of sound like you have just seen the most expensive parts from a retailer and thrown them together as a guide.

This guide doesn't really offer any price to performance value, and it doesn't offer any real insight into why you've listed the products, other than the fact they were inspired by "linus tech tips". It'd be far more informative for the reader if you researched the products yourself and linked reviews and articles you'd read about each one of them, so that the reader can learn about the products, and why they would benefit from those products over another.

Anyway it's a good effort and is presented nicely. I hope that you find this constructive rather than negative criticism

the memory suggestion is a bad suggestion..... 16gb 2133 to 8gb 3000mhz is what you should have said, with haswell, 1600 is not enough. ivy bridge and before, anything above 1600 is snake oil.
