I was wondering, how good is that build? Is there anything I could swap around? I am trying to future proof because I dont want to drop another $2k in 1-2 years.

Thanks for all the help guys! looking forward to the replies.

***Price is not a concern***

Looks ok.

Take out that termaltake psu and use a seasonic, corsair (AX/HX), XFX or silverstone.

I don't know much about the new corsair drives. I would be temped to swap that for an Crucial M4 or Samsung 830/840. And swap the seagate to a WD Black.

That case looks like it be a little flimsy. Have a look at corsair and coolermaster.

ThermalTACKY ugh. Youll get asked to leave you buy anything from them

 

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

Well my dream case is the CaseLabs Magnum STH10
but that means I would want to watercool, just increasing my price :/ I might just say f it and do it anyways.

Get rid of the Thermaltake stuff [check]
swap to a WD HD [check]
Icky case [agreed-ish]

If you don't have all the money at the time, I would only buy one GTX 670 FTW, then buy another later. But I would stay away from Rosewill, and get a Corsair case, or Cooler Master. I have my rig in the CM Storm Stryker, and I am having a few regrets beacuse I would have liked to have put it in a smaller case beacuse the Stryker is HEAVY! Every time I think about taking it somewhere I don't beacuse it is so big and heavy! Pick your case wisely! *Echo* Lol

Thanks, TheCMStormStryker

I am basing my purchase around the two 670's. Thats my main focus. Obviously besides the CPU. But tbh, I had a Cosmo 2 as my case but decided to just throw a random case in there when i re uploaded this.

Could anyone help me find a nice case with a decent size window? Apparently my case knowledge is very lacking

 

[njallday]

Some cases with beautiful windows are the Corsair 650D, Corsair 600T, or NZXT Switch 810 (best of the 3 for watercooling)

Also - that i7?? Are you doing video rendering or such? Otherwise an i5 3570k will be more then enough and save you a few bucks...

Nice case with window - CM Storm Stryker...

I just felt like putting in the i7 for really no reason. I could save money and go with the i5 but I dont mind the price increase.

Also, I know that Corsair makes some of the best cases and people rave about the CM Storm Stryker but I want a unique case. I've thought about modding one or getting it sent away but I don't know of any case modding places in my area.
