I'd personally wait until Ivy Bridge and pick up an i7 3770K when released. Also, wait and get a Z77 chipset board when they're released. Something like an MSI Z77-GD65 would be a nice choice, or a Asus Sabertooth, maybe a Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 if you could stretch that far (although that's probably overkill for a gaming rig). Also, i'd say up your PSU wattage to about 850W to give yourself some headroom for big OC's and future upgrades. Apart from that it all looks good.

 

[sharplucas]

Thanks For the reply! I'll Look into that Mobo and The Psu!

 

[sharplucas]

Anymore replies?

With such a high budget you should probably be looking at either a HX850 or AX850 TBH, will be fine for any 2 single gpu cards out and give you a better headroom for minimal extra cost.

 

[sharplucas]

Thank's I think I'm going to go with a 850w psu.

 

[JackyBoy]

Yeah wait for ivy bridge. You should only have to wait like a month or so. You could also get some new nvidia Kepler cards by then too!

 

[sharplucas]

I LIke your thinking Mate thanks for the reply I think I will wait

 

[Rastalovich]

Wait for Ivy, wait for Kepler if you like.

850w is the sweet spot.

If you chose AMD, get a 7970 rather than messing with 2x 7950.

Get better ram too.

 

[sharplucas]

Ok Maybe but these are on a Pretty good deal, But any other suggestions?!

 

[M O N S T E R]

Wait for Ivy if you want.

Get a Corsair AX850w and 16Gb of Corsair Dominator.

 

[sharplucas]

16gb Really I heard that was Overkill!

 

[PetrolHead247]

16gb Really I heard that was Overkill!

It is. You only need 8GB tops for gaming.

 

[sharplucas]

Hmm That's what I thought!

 

[sharplucas]

I'm not too interested at the Kepler Gpu's anyway I'm pretty satisfied with the 7000 Series But I cannot push to 2x 7970's

anyway And I don't want to get one... Looks Like I'm going to have to stick with these 7950's besides there over clocked a Bit anyway upon arrival

!

but I'm Looking forward to Ivy Bridge!

 

[sharplucas]

Thanks for sll your Help guys!
