My first build-strictly gaming settup

[Eddprzz]

So this is my first build that i actually put together from scratch *pats back* 

Parts

i5 3570k 

asus maximus 5 gene

16 gbs corsair vengeance

128 gb corsair force gs ssd 

360 gb corsair force gs ssd 

corsair h100i

corsair ax750

corsair sleeved cables

corsair af fans 

corsair sp fans(for h100i)

dual gtx 770

 

for people that care about monitor and keyboard and mouse

acer h236hl(great ips monitor)

steelseries siberia v2 headset

das keyboard ultimate 

razer mamba 

razer bungee

 

PLEASE READ now before people say if this is stricly gaming why did u go 16 gbs of ram? well because i already had 8 from last computer so i jus added another to make the comp look more full 

 

why did u go 2 graphics card if u play on one monitor? because i like playing games maxed out with smooth gameplay aka 60 frames 

 

why did u go for asus gtx 770? because asus gave it a backplate which makes it look so nice also because i wanted to make system again look full with two 

 

why not go for h220? well i do have one but the tubing on it is kinda long and glossy didnt like look but the cpu block does look better than h100i also because i couldnt mount the sp fans on the h220 without 3rd party screws idk mayb im dumb

The cable management looks great, but the PCI cables could be tucked behind the motherboard tray a little more.

Nice job! Usually people have super messy wiring on their first build, but yours looks nice ;)

I know you said you got two 770's for smooth game play....but one of those cards would max nearly all games at 60+ fps. If you really wanted EVERY game to be at 60fps, @ 1080p then you should have gone with a single GTX 780, which is cheaper than the dual 770's. 

 

Great looking build though.

That's an extortionate amount of money to spend just to make your system look "full". I can't say much anyhow, I'm getting dual GTX 780's for a 2560 x 1440 monitor. It looks great so who cares.

LOL I want to do that too but with dual 760's

[totjup5]

[Nicktrance]

That looks really amazing for a first build, nice job .

For 1920 x 1080 good old HD. One gtx 770 would of easily sufficed for max graphgics and smooth gameplay especially if you only really want 60 frames. I'd say get a 120 hertz or 144 hertz monitor then you could make and see ( er human eye doesn't see fps and  i think we don't see over 30 on average) but the response times on them usually fair pretty well. On a single gtx 770 with pretty much maxed settings easy over 100 frames on BF3 and runs smooth. Also if you would of only gotten one card could of used that money else where to go i 7 4th gen haswell. I know it's your first computer but don't worry about making it look full... But yeah you should look into what i said since you have the video cards for it might as well get a moniter that shows more frames with super response times since its all about gaming. I wanted to go ips but ended up going with this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B2HH7G0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I got lucky i sent an older model from 2010 and  used my warranty on my old monitor (it had dead pixels) and they sent me another one of what i just linked. So it was like a free upgrade . Will proabbly pick up another gtx 770 possibly if i feel the need and a third monitor, third time's the charm current command station. I mean gaming..

haswell didn't really have huge upgrades for gamers so I went ivy and I don't need i7 doesn't make huge difference in gaming only like couple frames also i prefer ips panel over tn if not i wudd have gotten benq monitor or asus monitor one wit 144 refresh rate

OH MY GAWD! Those cables look amazing!

Nice build. When I posted my build on my phone I had the same problem with the sideways photos.

[Xelithium]

Nice.

 

How are the temps on those GPUs during a heavy gaming session? Let's say Crysis 3 or BF3. Any demanding game really.
