What do you think or change about this build?

[Guest]

What's it for? If its for gaming I may just shoot you.

I'd probably go to a Corsair AX1200I instead of the OCZ but that's just me personally...

[Vanderburg]

Well, it's definitely an extreme build, but I don't know that I understand the purpose of it (i7X seems like a huge waste of money to me). Knowing what it's to be used for would help determine what we might suggest you change, or not change. Also, why did you choose the Intel 520?

[Rafael44p]

its for gaming and some video editing also he just wanted crazy stuff so yea its just becuz he can

[bartekxx12]

I would change the 3960X to a 3770k. And for the money saved, get a nice Xonar sound card as well as maybe upgrade the monitor to a 2560x1440 / 2560x1600 one.

[Vanderburg]

I mean, if you're just looking for suggestions for "better" stuff, I'd personally recommend the Samsung 840 Pro for the SSD. It doesn't do compression so all data is read/written at the same (fast) speed. Look for a benchmark between the 520 and 840 Pro with incompressible data.

[Dim]

Change 3960X to 3970X; it isn't much more expensive. It's definitely a better option for baller performance.

4x8 isn't 64 :P I'd get 2800MHz of Dominator Platinums; 16GB total, 4x4G

Definitely AX1200i.

Samsung 840 Pro instead of Intel 520.

Razer Mamba instead of Imperator

Mechanical Gaming keyboard instead of the G510+

Two GTX 680s instead of one GTX 690 -- faster, cheaper, draws more power (but you have a 1200W so you could go 4-way SLI easily).

[Bseagull]

Don't get an OZC power supply!!! They have really high fail rates! Go with a Corsair or something more trustable!

[Jokrik]

that CPU cooler is killing me, get a proper pre done WC like the H100i

Get a mechanical keyboard, its worth it! for mouse go with the one that suit you hand, give it a physical try

I would agree with 2 x 680 rather than 1 x 690

dont forget to add extra fans :) get good one

[Rafael44p]

i made a change from ozc to crossair AX1200i

[Noligion]

Not sure why you would need 3960x, that 500 dollar price premium bugs the hell out of me!
