Portable killer pc

[2xShi_2xSon]

Well its time to get me a portable pc cause i am moving around to many lan parties etc etc. ..The pc will be used for gaming and light video editing (sony vegas ,adobe premiere,after effects )

I look from 1-2 monitors (prefer 1440p)...As for peripherals i wont need anything ( an os will be needed too prefer windows 8.1)... my budget can be from 2800 to 3600 usd

The first thing that I would like to mention is that you should NOT purchase the Asus Maximus VI Gene unless you are in a huge hurry to build your PC. The Asus Maximus VII Gene is going to be released soon, which will run on the Z97 platform, which will support the next generation of CPU's as well. Also, I would wait for the D15 from Noctua to come out, it will be releasing soon, and is even better than the D14. 

 

I ended up going towards the upper end of your budget, but if you want to get still great performance at 1440p, I'd recommend SLI 780's. They'd give you better performance than just one 780ti, and would still do the things you'd need it to. If you decide that you want two of the 1440p monitors, then you can always just go ahead and switch to the 780's and just pick up two of the PB278Q's.

Putting together a rig for you now. I'll edit this post when I have completed it. 

ok thank you for your quick response

[Megazero]

Do you need any Peripherals? like monitor, keyboard, mouse etc?

[Paralectic]

Bitfenix Prodigy M as a case? or what case would you like to have.

Bitfenix Prodigy M as a case? or what case would you like to have.

 

If you will do SLI the M would be it, but otherwise the normal one is WAY better since the M is a PAIN to build in and HARD to get air flow into.. i got one...

SLI with reference cooled GPUs is an option yes in the M.

[Megazero]

Let's see... if it's the Prodigy M due to it extremely small size + easy to carry around with handle, I'd go with this

I want to pick a H100i instead, but when I look around ppl said that if you do 2 ways SLI on Prodigy M you cant have a 240mm radiator, so I go down abit to get the H80i, should still be cool enough.

Otherwise, if I'm to change to case to a bit bigger one to suit the H100i, then probably this?

Bitfenix Prodigy M as a case? or what case would you like to have.

hmmm a case a case . . . . I like those kinda cube cases that split a case into the half like the air 540 that sort of case...I really want the best possible airflow i can get in such form factor case

[dragoon20005]

The prodigy m has bad design for air flow. The aerocool ds cube is similar on size but had a flat placement of the mobo so your gpu won't sag.

[Megazero]

Well the Prodigy iis only good in the point that its really small and easy to carry around. The Air540 you like is quite big you know... I think the 350D I suggested will have enough space for a good air flow. And you can add in fans if you really need it.

[dragoon20005]

Well he need a case which he can carry around if you Google search the aerocool ds cube it small yet it can fit a matx board and 2 dual slot gpus.

[CCap]

The 350D will be a great option then, you have mounts for 3 intake fans and two exhaust, giving you slightly positive airflow which should keep ambient temperatures low. The 780ti's I put in the rig are the reference blower design, so most of the heat they give off will be pushed out the rear of the case anyways, so you should be able to keep the overall temperatures very low. 

 

Something that you might want to consider changing in the rig I initially laid out would be the Cooling system, in the 350D you would be able to fit a Swiftech H220 in there, which would give you excellent CPU cooling. The only issue is that every time you move the case around, you either have to be very, very careful or you'd have to remove the H220 every time you move it. Reasons like that are why I suggested you go with the NH-D14 in the first place. (it's really up to you though, the D15 has the cooling capacity of an AIO such as the H220 anyways, so I would just go for the D15. I just wanted you to have options). 

 

If you have any further questions, feel free to let me know ;D

And before you ask, yes, two 780ti's are more powerful. But I really dont like running two cards right up against each other, and the only boards I could find that would allow a slot between the cards are not the prettiest boards on the market. *COUGH* SABERTOOTH *COUGH*

All build look really good and i might go for megazero's build the second one....Could you suggest me some speakers for 100-200 bucks

Hmm... depend on your room/setup if you go with speaker, you can go with either a 2ch(2.1ch) or 5.1ch speaker. For me personally I use 2.1ch because I dont really have room to put speaker all over the place surround me for 5.1 plus 2 speaker on both side of the monitor work better for me. But as for branding and which speaker is good, I'm not really sure since I'm not a heavy listener, so almost anything of good quality suit me and I cant really recognized the different unless it's a huge jump. So I'd suggest you go to here http://linustechtips.com/main/forum/40-audio/ where forks knows about audio more to ask.
