Rig Under Construction [Need help]

[Olaipai]

Hey dudes and dudettes! I am currently in the process of making a new rig. I love new technology and having the most badass and newest stuff released. But I have some choices when making my rig. I can't find out what I want or what I should get, and what will give me the most bang for the buck, so please help me choose from the options below! And if you have any suggestions regarding the parts that have been choosed out or the build, please tell me.

And I am getting an SSD when the prices drops a bit. And a second screen along with another 7950 when the price drops when Nvidia launches their kepler.

And what is the big difference between P67, Z68 and X79? And do I need the extras on the Z68/X79?

The system will be used for EVERYTHING: Gaming, video editing, 3D art, web browsing, videos, streaming, skype. As said, everything

Btw! THE PARTS IN THE PACKAGES CANNOT BE CHANGED! So please tell me or suggest what I should get.

well x79 is the leader ATM so I'd look at that avenue. Unless you want to wait a couple more months for Ib to release. psu you'll need more than 620watts to keep it efficient. And you mentioned adding another 7950 later so i would recommend at min a 850watter. plus you don't mention an aftermarket cooler in any of them so that needs addressing as the stock coolers are known to be loud and hot. pack 3 looks the best of the Sb setups pack one is kinda high for a mobo/cpu/ram combo

After looking at the prises it looks like you are going to order from komplett.no?

Note that the msi 7950 is not in stock befor earliest the 31 of march.

I can also add that i've been looking at prices a long tim and it turns out that dustin.no i cheeper than komplett.

Sins you are going to do 3D moddeling i would deffinitly go for the x79 setupp

but add 8gb of more ram, 8gb is way to littel fore moddeling .

I will order from Cdon and Komplett.noas you mentioned. I can wait a bit for the parts. I am really stoked. I'll do 8Gb first and get a second kit after.

I would go for the X79 system, but for Performance/Price Pack Three is the best. The 2500k will overclock like mad and be capable for your needs.

This is spot on
