Any Recommendations

BTW Wraith the build that you suggested looks ballin'. Great choice of parts. +1 for you, sir.

Ok that's better, I'd say get a haswell k series cpu, a swiftech h220 like you wanted, bigger ssd. and keep the rest of your build.

 

Also you can go with something like an 8350/8320, and get an sli setup or something since you wanted to max everything @ 2560x1440 for 3+ years. ( I know one single stronger gpu is better than 2 lesser cards in sli, but you could do something like 2 770's, or wait and see if amd fixes their crossfire issues and get the 9000/8000 series whichever they decide to make.

 

although 770's have 2gb of vram so nevermind that thought lol

 

the only problem I see is that a lotta talk has been done about vram lately and higher resolutions, we don't really know where the future of pc gaming is going, so who knows, maybe in 3 years games will barely be ahead of what we're at now, and maybe they'll be insane, with the memory bandwidth nvidia talked about recently with stacking VRAM on the GPU, maybe we'll see some crazy stuff.

Thank you for the first actual bit of advice 

 

Dude. The bits of advice by the guys down below are great. Don't neglect them. 

Better for your money.

^Terrific build, much more worth it, imo. And honestly nothing tells you that by getting a GTX 780 you'll be able to play all the games maxed out for the next 3 years. In fact, you most probably won't be able to. You're much better off saving some money right now and upgrading later on.

 

If you are going to OC you should go with a K-series CPU, If not I would say the h220 is a bit overkill for cooling.

^Totally right. It will be much harder to OC a 3820 properly compared to an unlocked CPU so with an H220, you'll be able to squeeze out every single bit of horsepower out of the K series CPU (I'd go for an i5, i7 is overkill for gaming) while with a non-K cpu, the fact that the multiplier is locked will probably limit you more than the cooler itself.

What is going on here lol..

 

 

 

A 3570k would be better than a 3820 for gaming. The 3820 is not made for gaming. It's meant for constant heavy loads in workstations.

 

 

Go for the 3770k, more is more.

I don't think that storage is a problem because I don't use rarely go over 150gb with the computer I have now also have a 500gb hdd laying around, and I was planing on sli 780 in the future when I had the money

haswell is overpriced/not worth it to go from a 3570k to a 4670k for 50$

I suppose, but after you get 5-10 games and ur os on that ssd, it'll be hurting for space, I haven't even touched my hdd at all, but I still figured better safe than sorry.

 

the 780 idea is good, I'd stick with that and get an 8350/8320 or go with a haswell K series and get a really nice mobo to pair it with.

You could try a 3770k aswell, It competes pretty well with that i7 3820, and I think the platform is a lot cheaper

you're really hilarious.

recommending a i7 over a i5 for a gaming build shows that you don't know anything.

Pft. Hard drives, that will bottleneck the crap out of your system... unless you play like... one game, get a 240/256GB SSD. Every single person in real life I know who bought a 120GB SSD ran out of space.

He wants to "Future" proof though, that extra cpu horsepower may come in handy later on down the road

hyperthreading gives you less fps in most games. 2-3 games give you 2-3 fps because of hyperthreading.

 

"future proof" doesn't make sense to me

If you are recommending a AMD CPU I don't really want to buy AMD 

[CoolBeans]

Also want a ROG motherboard and a red white black build if you are recommending different systems

He said he was going to be doing 90% gaming, what if down the line he wants to video edit+ do other things with his computer? What if games are optimized to take advantage of those things? If he wants a system that'll do things for three years, and has a high budget, he should splurdge and make sure things last a little longer

[habowh43]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/14t4c

Yes, a lot better, but again, bigger SSD.

 

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/14t6f

This is an even better part choice though but imo, the 690 is overkill. A 780 is overkill too. 770 would be a smarter choice in my own honest opinion (I'm talking to you CoolBeans :P)

[habowh43]

If you are recommending a AMD CPU I don't really want to buy AMD 

Why?

[CoolBeans]

Why?

I don't know I just don't really want one

[habowh43]

Re-why? (for the board)

They have cool features and they look cool

Okay, well we're only here for advice anyway so feel free to pick whatever you want but you have a profile pick of Logan. Logan will tell you time and time again that the 8320 is the better choice for a gaming PC
