Hey guys, I'm planning on getting a new pc this summer.

 

1. Budget & Location :

 

My budget is around 3300$ (3350 isn't a problem, 3400 is max max) and I live in the netherlands, but I'd like a pcpartpicker link for the US.

 

2. Aim

 

I am going to use the pc mainly for gaming, I'll also use it for school stuff and a little bit of video editing. Gaming at 1080p. Max settings and I'd like to be possible to play almost every game.

 

3. Monitors

 

I have 3 23 Inch 1080p monitors and I'd like to use them all 3, if not possible tell me.

 

4. Peripherals

 

I've already got everything I need, so I only need the Pc itself

 

5. Why are you upgrading?

 

I'd really like to game on pc and I need it for school. I've got a laptop now that I bought for 200$ in 2010.

 

6. Extra:

 

I'd like to get a watercooler for the pc

I'd also like the same colour combination, not every thing another colour.

 

 

I hope you guys can help me.

 

 

Thanks, Crow

2500$, spend 800$ left on a custom loop for your GPU if you want, the Tri-X Sapphire is not that hot

Since you seem like you are not going to do 3D modeling/heavy video editing/photoshop etc, the i7 is way overkill for you. An i5 suit you much better at much cheaper price

2 GTX 780 is far more than enough, and I get the 6GB version since you are going to game on 3 monitors.

The case I choose one I like, you may change to whichever else you want.

For keyboard and mouse, whichever one you like, I personally like Razer stuff but they are usually Green and the build is Black/Red so... maybe the K70 keyboard and a Red/Black mouse?
