why sabertooth 

 

the psu will be tight but if you are going to overclock then go 750 

[HirgaLTTki]

550 is not enough

[zip2k4]

you will hear this a lot, so before everyone beat me to it:

 

how much is your budget? (as we could potentially use better parts or jam in more parts or whatever)

[delet my acc pls]

The PSU will not support 2 GPUs and get 8 instead of 16gb of ram also get the 4670k i5 instead of the i7 4770k

[chris007]

why sabertooth 

i was told that its the best for editing and i lke the armor :)

[Jamdude]

You need at least a 850W power supply and I recommend getting an SSD.

 i love the armor for looks i have on hehe get a 750 watt psu

2x 780is with that system eats around 750 watts. buy 850 or higher.. well more then 850 is not necessery but i will buy 1050 watt becuze its cheap..

[Jamdude]

[ViruZ_HUN]

Be cause they gaming performance is the same and the i7 costs like 100 dollars more

[chris007]

a ssd.

[ViruZ_HUN]

åt hellvete!

 

skillnaden mellan 4670 och 4770 är 500 kr...

[delet my acc pls]

The i7 and the i5 haswell becomes outdated pretty much the same time you will not be future proof longer with an i7

[delet my acc pls]

I5 1700 i7 2600 so 900 sek diffrence

[Jamdude]

a ssd.

Add the SSD you have to the original post please.

[ViruZ_HUN]

Well!

 

if you have money buy i7 if u budget is not that big and still want intel buy i5.

 

i think i will be future proof with 3930k.

 

if i would keep my 2600 i still would be future proof for atleast 2 years.

 

i never in my life had i5 or i3.

 

i moved from AMD direct to intel i7

[virusal19]

Just to clarify, is this a gaming or editing rig? 

 

If this is a gaming rig, you might want to get a i5 4670K and 8GB of RAM, you get to save quite a few bucks and still have the same performance as having i7 and 16GB of RAM. 

 

If this a editing rig, you can keep the i7 4770k and 16GB of RAM. 

 

550W will only be able to support one GTX 780, you will want at least 700 or higher. 

 

Get a Samsung 840 120GB SSD - Cheap and reliable

 

Not a huge fan of the saber-tooth motherboard but If you like the aesthetics if it you can stick with it.

Just because you have the money to buy a i7 doesn't mean it's worth spending that extra money for the exact same performance. Why not save money and put it into something else?

[delet my acc pls]

Now you are saying he should get a 3930k it costs like 600 dollars

Stop trying to help people if you don't know shit
