Hey guys it's been 4 or 5 years since my last upgrade and I think it's about due time. I'd love some opinions / suggestions on my potential build. The processor has already been bought (4930k) so that's a must. I will be using this new rig for mainly gaming @ 1440p once I buy an Asus PB278Q
So I am going from:
Intel i5-750
4gb DDR3 Gskill ripjaws
Asus P7P55D-E pro
2 x xfx radeon HD5770
500gb Segate HDD for OS/games etc.
3tb Hitachi HDD for media
and here's what I'm thinking:
Intel 4930k (already purchased)
Corsair H110?
Asus x79 Sabertooth
16gb Corsair Dominator platinum ddr3 1600mhz
1 x HyperX 3k ssd 120gb for OS and a few programs
1 x Samsung 840 pro 256gb for games
Corsair AX1200I PSU - overkill?
Asus xonar STX soundcard - waste of money? I use Sennheiser PC360 and have never owned a soundcard before. I will also probably buy Audioengine A5+ down the road
Case will be either the obsidian 750D or phantek gentoo primo
As for the GPU's i'm not sure if I should just use my 5770's for the time being until the new GPU's come out or go ahead and pull the trigger on a 780TI? Don't mind waiting if it makes sense.
