1st build ever help!

So this is my first build ever
Im looking to buy I top of the line gaming pc to replace my old gaming laptop
Uses: Lots of gaming (specifically skyrim on high settings right now) some video streaming and other usage
what I have so far: I couldn't figure out how to put the build in here so here is the ticket number 605561

Any comments or advice would be appreciated I don't want to go any higher in price but would definitely be willing to go lower

Thanks

lol a big NO to that config.

as AS mentioned, what res you gonna be gaming at with this pc?

There is no such thing as future proof, more power now does not mean you will be fine later.

anything over what I have down the there you would not notice the performance difference from, and by that I mean I can come and replace whatever config you make with the one below that I made and unless I told you I made the change you would never notice, well something in my build is faster so might notice my build performing better:

Here you go Ticket# 605640 --- $3,483 (To see this build click here)

if you want your pc to be future proof in games, then upgrade your sli every 2 to 3 years.

1. For 1900 x 1200 res there is no reason to wait.

2. you can raid 10 hdds together you still won't get ssd speeds, 4k speeds don't change in raid, seektime barely gets better in raid.

3. where it counts very little.

4. lot of differences but the hailstorm is for system with full lc cause it does not have great airflow, the haf x is king in airflow.

5. oh sorry, I forgot to put your tv tunner back, yes you should be able to just add the tv card to my config, just click on it and add it in.

notice everything I removed is because you won't want it or its performance gain was little but stress or heat was gonna be more problem then the little performance gain.

HDD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage

you never need lc unless you are a benchmarker.

case does not play a big part in upgrading components but what components did you have in mind?

Woooo, upgrade mobo? you don't hear that all the time, upgrade mobo pretty much means new pc, cause with that upgrade you will need new ram/cpu and between those 3 you are looking at a new pc pretty much.

but if you know how to change mobo, you should be good to go with a big case like haf, all that room make it easier to work in, and in this kind of upgrade case does matter, I was thinking you were thinking about upgrading gpu/ssd/hdd and things like that lol.

My pleasure and good luck
