First of all this is my first pc build and I'm not an expert on pc parts :)

My budget is between 4000~4200 USD which include the gaming rig and a monitor .. I'm looking for a pure performance gaming rig for high end gaming and would love to get your advise on specs and if I should wait for new products and what not . Thanks!

looks into wallet... damn

 

is the budget just for the desktop?

 

do you need monitor? and which kind?

 

is it just for gaming alone?

 

GTX880 is just around the corner

 

X99 and DDR4 coming too in the next few days

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I rather get an nvidia graphics card I also want to play on 1440p on min so a monitor should at least be capable of doing so in a 144hz refresh rate or if possible go for 4k gaming .. About the nvidia 880 when these series are going to launch if anyone have any idea that would be great most of the feedback is awesome so far thanks for the help guys .. I also would as about a wi-fi configure cause for sometime until early 2015 I might have to run this pc on wi-fi which I know sucks lol but I want it to be less painful any advice on that would be much appreciated thanks!
