Link doesn't work

 

For that kind of budget, I'd look at a 5820k, MSI X99S SLI + 2-3 GTX980s. Unless you want to go a lot lower than budget and go Z97 mainstream.

So I'm buying this new PC for the use of gaming, and some other stuff, but mainly gaming. Thoughts? Opinions? Suggestions?

PS: budget is anything under $5600

Duuude. That's too much for a gaming rig. 0.0 Unless it includes peripherals.(link's broken)

Unless you really want to spend a ridiculous amount of money, I'd go with a budget of like $1500-$3000, that's pretty much the sweet spot for a balling out Gaming Rig. Basically I'd say get an i5 4690k or i7 4790k, and then throw in 1 or 2 980s and an H105.

 

Also go with the Enthoo Luxe... Just because I am in absolute love with that case :wub:

Go H105- not h100i.

Wouldn't it give a better performance to instead of 2 gtx 980 use 3 gtx 970? Price would be about the same, I think.

Thanks for the response! As of now I've gamed on a "high end" gaming laptop that doesn't get good resolution, at all.  I'm currently gaming, and buying this in the US; however, in a very short time (as in a few weeks) I will be moving to Brazil.

I'm waaaaay too uncomfortable with water cooling, maybe in my next build (100 to 500 years from now), I already have a chair, and a desk (here and where I'm moving to), but I'll think about the dinner...

I do have the 5820K but a lot of people say its a complete waist of money for gaming... Even though this whole build is usually looked at as a waste of money

It does do what you think it dooooo...

I decided to get this build, not specifically this builds with the exact items, but to at least spend this much money on the build anyway. So this is the equivalent of 3 to 4 years of "special savings". So not to be rude, or mean, or ignorant, or any other mean sounding word. But I don't want to give up on the dream now.

actually i see that you added one in your build, everything looks good but I would go with noctua fans over corsair ones for more silence, and logitech speakers are usually a waste of money, these speakers would be better.

Thank you! Didn't expect such a good response from the community (this being my first build). Do you have any suggestions on the size?

of the fans? bigger is better since bigger fans can move more air with lower speeds so probably around 140mm

Thank you for trying to help, but since I am completely new to building PC's I wouldn't be comfortable enough to build a water cooling system. Also, the case and board are the sort of things I don't really want to touch. However, I'm completely open to changes in: the CPU, CPU Cooler (as long as its not a water cooler), the Storage, the Ram, the Power Supply, and the GPU as long as it stays 2-way SLI with GTX 980's.
