Finishing up this build

I went in to the NCIX warehouse sale and picked up some parts that I found for cheap, but now need a few more parts to finish up the gaming build. So far I have:

What I still need is with an $600-700 budget:

 

Video card: probably leaning towards a GTX 680/770

 

Storage: I have ~10TB of harddrive space on my network, so I could use a fast boot platform

 

Addition cooling: My previous build ran a stock AMD cooler and a 9800GTX+, so it sounded like a hurricane in a box. Ideally I'd like to quiet this build down a bit as well. I dont plan on EXTENSIVELY overlocking or anything, but cool and quiet would be nice. I think a full watercooling solution is over-kill, but I've seen people doing H220 (or H320 since its $10 more) +gpu block to obtain quiet cheap WC solutions.

 

 

Peripherals such as mouse, keyboards, speakers, headsets, monitors, and OS will just be brought over from my previous build

770, 120GB SSD and a decent air cooler. coolermaster hyper 212 evo is a good cooler for mild overclocks.

The Hyper 212 Evo probably won't work with such large ram heatsinks.

Go with a liquid cooler, the ram you have is very high and probable will interfere with large heatsinks like the evo

i9 25.6 GHz with NeuronThreading, 256gb 6000 MHz RAM, GTX 990 OC 3024MHz 12gb, Skeletal X99 motherboard, 1 Petabyte SSD, Fractal Design Humaniod R1 Case, Herbivore 10,000W PSU, Noctua NF16 LP Derma Cooler.

Probably the only Star Citizen player who is planning on a career in Journalism instead of piracy, mining, trading, exploration, military, station management, etc.

Generation 0: The first time you see this add 1 to the number and copy it into your sig. Consider it a social experiment.
