I believe this is within your budget if the currency transfer rate is what I remember.

Intel core i5-3570k @ 3.4 GHz - Sapphire Radeon HD7870 Ghz OC Ed 1050/1250 - Kingston HyperX 3k 120GB SSD - G.Skill 8 GB's DDR3-1600 MHz 


Asus Z77-A mobo - Windows 7 64 bit - Corsair raptor HS30 headset - Corsair CX600 600w PSU - CM hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler


It can run crysis.

His suggestion is rather rock solid. However in the budget I'd recommend getting a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO rather than a 500GB and get a 4770K.

Sure, there's a lot you can do with such a large budget, it's really up to the OP's priorities.

Why? It won't offer any gaming performance. If the OP is going to be doing other rendering tasks then he might benefit from it, but not if it's strictly for gaming. Having 250GB's more of SSD space for those games would be more beneficial imo.

 

edit: but like @Cacao said, with his budget he can do a lot.

Exactly. I just think for an extremely well rounded machine the 4770K would be better. :)

Hello community i am planning to build a new pc for my self that can handle 1440p gaming...My budget is around 2600-2800 euro i live in Austria... I will have everything delivered from http://www.amazon.de/  its a  trustworthy site

There are hundreds of different ways you could go. So you're gaming. You want 1440. Anything else you do? Do you have a large game library? Do you have a lot of music? Do you edit videos often? What programs?

Well it really comes down to 3 things. Cutting edge CPU power, cutting edge GPU power and cutting edge SSD storage space. (cutting edge might be the wrong word, but you get what I mean). With your budget you can fit 2 one those. IE: 4770k vs 4670k. 2x 780ti vs 1x 780ti. 500GB SSD storage vs 120/250gb SSD storage.

 

It really comes down to what's important for you. Do you need really good CPU performance? Do you want the best possibly gaming performance? Do you want to have lots of SSD storage to store lots of games and programs?

 

It's not like the others will be 'bad' if you pick one. It's just choosing which direction to take your build. With a 3000$ budget you could probably do all 3.

Expect from 1440p i use adobe premiere,final cut and sony vegas... As for storage i think a 240/250gb ssd would be enough for everything(programms a few games) the rest could go in a 3tb hdd

Why 2011?

If you need something more powerful than the standard 4 cores, you may go with 2011

this word doesnt excist in my vocabulary but is 2011 socket more future proof than 1150?

 

 

No.

 

LGA 2011 CPU's are for workstation PC's who do nothing but rendering and video editing. You'd have to drop a 780 ti in your build to fit one in which would mean losing 20-40 fps in your games.
