New build plan!

I have set up a build that I will be using to play lots of games at 1080p at max settings, recording gameplay, and editing it all on this machine. I spent 70% of my build $$ on the GPU because it will get me amazing performance in games and it allows me to render with cuda in Sony Vegas and AE CC/CS6.

[_ASSASSIN_]

that is the most unusual and stupid of configurations I have ever seen

change that to an FX 8350, and get a better motherboard

actually, completely change your build this is absolutely terrible

Get a different PSU. Like a Corsair.

What is your budget, upgrade to a 8320 and a 970/990Fx board and do you need any storage

[TymmVonD]

Minimum 600w psu for 780 according to manufacturer. I believe Linus said you could get away with less, but... Could you bump up and get a cheaper 8 core perhaps?

I don't need any storage or a case

[TymmVonD]

Wow. Taking another look.... Not many sub $1000 builds contain a GTX 780.

I am already stretching my budget so probably not

[JORDANonPC]

This build is so unbalanced and is missing so many things and it doesn't look like you've done your research at all

 

what is your budget?

I know :3

$750 budget

well it's completely imbalanced and a 780 is overkill for 1080p gaming

[TymmVonD]

I made bad mistakes cheaping out on my PCs foundation. Your eveyday usage will be much more enjoyable with a faster CPU, SSD, and solid mobo. I know it's hard to maybe disregard the 780, but maybe R9 280X...and a 750w psu for future Crossfire. *fingers crossed*

That build is still ridiculous, I know the gpu is the where most money is spent in a gaming machine but this is just ridiculous

780 is not overkill. It won't max out Crysis 3 at 1080p. And games are getting better. Be prepared to lower settings.

Looks good!

But to be honest I was planning to take the 780 out of the build a bit later and put it in my i7 build once I save up more.

yeah, first generation was pretty terrible compared to Vishera

just wait until you can afford to buy all the parts you want or you will be wasting your money, listen to what everyone is telling you
