My Next Build

[Caspur]

I am currently saving up for my next computer build. It's been about 5 years since my last one and I am getting tired of upgrading so now I am going to save for a ground up build.

As you can see the price is a little high and things will definitely change before I have all that spare cash, but a lot of the parts are extra like the dual GPUs. I hope to have a new build by years end.

 

Let me know what you think and any and all constructive input is welcome. Thanks!

 

EDIT* And the video card I really want is the ROG Poseidon-GTX780-P-3GD5, but it wasn't on PCPP.

if you have the money, go for it

i wouldnt get the razer krakens i heard they hurt your ears after an extended period of use

i would get something like this http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-770-PRO-250-ohms/dp/B0006NL5SM and a clip on mi

get gentle typhoon or noctua case fans, everyone flames the corsair fans for being to loud >.> but they are still good if you dont want to change

You are overspending in a lot of areas.  With your budget, you should be doing Ultra4k.  Let me show you a very nice $3500 build that is Ultra 4k capable.

You could go either SLI GTX 780 Tis, or you could get the brand new ATI R9 295X2.  It is $1500, but is is a single card, and is already water cooled.  Its temperatures are nothing short of incredible for such a powerful card.

 

Here is a very good benchmark that compares the highest end graphics cards available for Ultra 4k gaming.

 

If you don't plan on doing Ultra 4k, you are well past the point of diminishing returns in terms of performance.  Going from 1080p to Ultra 4k is where you are going to see the most difference.  SLI 780s on a 1080p screen is going to look the same as me on my 1080p with a single 780.  Go Ultra4k and blow yourself away with the next gen technology.  You have the means to make it happen.
