New Build Project : Advice Needed

I am planning a new build, with quite a good budget and have some idea where i'm going, but would love the advice of others :)

I have a CM Storm Stryker Case, which i plan to house a Rampage IV extreme with a 3930K processor, AMD 7950 and 16Gb Corsair 2133 RAM. With a couple f Corsair Force GT's and a decent power supply.

For monitors I was thinking of keeping the two Samsung 22" 1200x900's I have atm, and add a Hazro 30" 2560x1600.

What do people think ?

Would love to hear any advice, :)

Cheers
 
what is it going to be used for? if its only gaming than i would say drop the ram to 8gb as itll be wasted mate :) other than that it looks good :) just make sure its a corsair or seasonic or any other good brand for the power supply :) also for the screen i hope your not going to run them in eyefinity as thatll look..... wierd
 
Yeh Mostly for gaming, but rendering aswell, and running some process heavy programs like XRD phase identification, thats why i was thinking 16G.

And no im not running them in eyefinity, but later on in the year I might get two more of the Hazro's and then run it then, but need to wait for by bank balance to look a bit healthier, :) haha

And im also cooling it with a custom water cooling set up, with some Mayhems red fluid, that hopefully will go with the red in the MOBO and the RAM, I was trying to think of a name to give it derived from its white black and red colours and drew a blank, any ideas ?
 
Cheers, :)

When i said i have a Stryker, it came on Tuesday, i sat opening it like a ten year old, and then saw that it had been damaged during transit. -.-

I was not impressed, but the retailer is being helpful and hopefully i will have a replacement soon :)

you realize dont ya its a X79 platform with quad channel right 16GB is most likely minimum for most users
 
Just bought all of the components, :)
Sad to depart from that money, but cant wait to build the rig :)

When the parts come ill keep a log of the rig build, and comment on any problems if i get stuck. :)
 
i have had problems with my Storm Trooper but Cooler Master have been awesome to deal with :)

good luck with the build
 
Yeh well I bought it from SpecialTech and were sorting it out, so hopefully I'll be able to get things moving along pretty soon :)

I cant wait to get assembling things. :)
