Hey all.
So in short, I am looking for quickness in application load times and outburst of performance in gaming.
MOBO: Asus maximum Formula Z87
CORE : suggestions
GFX : either 2 x GTX 770's or GTX 780
CASE : ???
RAM : ???
PSU : ???
Storage : 240 gb SSD vertex 3 and 2 TB HD
Monitors : 3 x 120hz ???
Case theme : red white and black.
* looking for a review for the motherboard, and not too sure on which ivy core to go far, the watercooling features will be used.
* never gonna use a full Ivy core 8 threads, This will also be water cooled .
* RAM I will require for the application usage. never fully used 8 gig ram with what I am doing at the moment, but if I can get better timings therefor quicker responses, then great
* Have three screen @ 60Hz, so replacing them for three 120Hz 24inch monitors, so graphics maybe spread over two slots maybe be better than one. Suggestions on the GFX would be good.
*Case options, really matter for me, I like space and cleanliness, Looking to sticking a laing D5 pump, with a ek res tube and 1 to 2 mountable rads. Was looking at obsidian 900D but, £300 is too far, Not that price is a issue, just seems more about the brand than the features at that stage
applictaions that will be used :
Photoshop
dreamwever
Games that will be used
BF4
planetary annihilation
Citizen star
Currently have
CPU : sanybridge 2600k
RAM : 8 gig corsair dominator
GFX : 2 x GTX 480's
MOBO : Gigabyte UDH5
case : Xigamatek Elysium case
PSU : corsair 800 watt modded
240 GB SSD + 2 TB HD
Watercooled CPU
Laing D5 pump.
EK res
180mm Rad
