My Concerns:

  1. Is the graphics card enough to run a 1440p monitor for gaming?
  2. Is everything reliable?
  3. I will be adding a external CD drive for the computer, so I can place it on my desk.
  4. Can it get cheaper and still be reliable? The 32" monitor was cheaper then a bracket + 3 23" ones.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Are you just gaming? If so, an i5 would be a much better choice...and if you're rendering as well then an i7/Xeon would be a much better choice.

Are you just gaming? 

 

No, it will be encoding, multitasking for college (using the 32" for 3 side by side screens) and music/video storage, along with backups on the 2nd 2 terabyte drive for 2 laptops and another desktop. Plus it will be streaming to my HTPC computer almost always.

1. Yes its good but get a Trixx or Lightning 290x

2. I would say a 4690k for gaming but the 8350 is just as good if overclocked

I have no idea about 3 and 4

An FX8350 isn't just as good if overclocked. Even a locked i5 will beat an FX9590 in most games.

I'd go with a Xeon/I7 then. 

Btw, three 23" 1080p monitors will have MUCH more screen real estate than a single 32" 1440p screen.

Um guys budget....is right around 2 grand. It has to include monitor, keyboard, mouse, windows, everything.

Um guys budget....is right around 2000 grand.

A 4790 + H97 board can be had for less than an FX8350+X61+990FX board, and still outperform it. Plus, you can also go with a Xeon E3 1231V3, and still outperform an FX8350 at a substantial bit less.

Lose the Kraken, go with a Gigabyte z97x SLI (to maintain black/red theme), don't get an Asus R9 290x -- the XFX/windforce ones are much better (and the same price/cheaper).

lol, I just did that =D

He doesn't need an H55 either. 

 

And I'd also spend the extra $25 for a the G2, which is a significantly better psu. 

 

/Plus I'd also go with triple 1080p BenQ GL2460HM's and a triple monitor stand rather than that HP monitor he's looking at (both are around $500 with the triple 1080p setup offer MUCH more space).

It looks better than a tower cooler, and does a good job.

The stock cooler would do a good job, and an H55 barely performs better than a cheap air cooler.

What?  You aren't serious.

 

Sure the stock is fine performance-wise, but the H55:  'barely performs better'?

 

The Seasonic is fine, unless he wants to Crossfire.

An H55 is barely better than a Hyper 212 yet costs more than twice as much.

I have a 212, it looks like crap.  So the Hyper 212 is now barely better than the stock option as well? :P

This build was only intended to get me thru the next couple of years...and I dont play over demanding titles. I will go with water cooling only case of my personal preference, also it will be a NZXT x61 to match my build.

If you've previously won the build off please pm me so we can get something worked out.

Doesn't every build only last 2-4 years?...maybe 6 with some heavy OC'ing.

 

The Intel CPU design is better not just for speed, but for things like running at stock... cooler and less hassle.

 

So you are not running the 2 TB hard drives in RAID?  They are just separate storage?
