New Gameing PC

[Dudered7]

Im still thinking on the parts but so far I am thinking about this:

MOBO: Asus ROG Maximus V Extreme
CPU: 3570k or 3770k
>Graphics Card: Asus DCUII 660 ti OC ed.
Ram: Corsair red Vengance (2X4GB) 2133
>Case: 800D
>PSU: AX1200 (got it so I can upgrade it to whenever and it was on sale)
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
SSD: Corsair Neutron GTX 240gb
Cooling: H100 or Custom Watercooling
> = I have already

I need some feed back on the components. I would also like to know how much the 3770k can OC more than the 3570K when liquid cooled?
I will be using it to run BF3, GW2. Borderlands 2, and others.
I might add a second 660ti later.

My changes:

MB: msi gd65 or m power
(Ram: depending on the mb, change colour)
CPU: because it's a gaming pc, get the 3570k, the 3770k won't oc better and you don't need ht
GPU: with the money you saved on the mb, you could get a gtx 670
SSD: is ok and if you want all corsair a good choice, i'd go with a samsung 830

the rest looks pretty nice

ATX motherboard may look ridiculous in that case though^
Also you can run two 660 Tis on a ax850 or maybe even a ax750. Drop the PSU down.
And maybe drop the RAM speed unless that pair is a really good price.

He already has the case and psu, but I agree with you that it's crazy overkill

I know i am pickey on this but that PSU will only draw what it needs ,
so in my honets opinion "overkill ' is not there !

The ram is 5 bucks more and the mobo is E-ATX. I will probally go with the 3570k and why do you think I should go with the msi? I know that but in the future I will be uprading to 3 way sli and it was 20 bucks more thsn the 850.

Many forum members use MSI z77 mbs and they all really like it and it's much cheaper that asus.
I'd rather go with 670 sli instead of 3way sli 660ti, how many screens do you have?

 

[Dudered7]

2 right now but I will go with 3 later.

GTX 670 sli will be fine for that, may consider getting 4gb models. The 3way 660ti would be more expensive and draw more power.

Power isn't an issue and I already have a single 660ti but i might even get a better card later when the next versions come out, then I would but a 780 or whatever they will call it and sli them.

Sorry missed that you already have a 660ti, you'll have to wait a while for the next gen cards to come out
