New rig help

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   As some as you know, Iv been hanging around the forums for a while and asking all sorts of questions (im just a curious little creature) But Iv made my decision and will be ordering  from digital storm soon... My budget was occasionally 5k but I figured lets start out at 3,500$ and upgrade as I go in the future.

Budget- 3,000$-3,400$

Expectations- Battle Field 3, at 45 FPS, 1 30 inch monitor (I dont play battle field but im using battle field 3 as my benchmark )

Usage-  General web usage, A tiny bit of 3d modeling, Flight simulator X, Xplane 10. 

Special needs- Hailstorm II case

Any ideas on a rig? Id appreciate if you would build one for me and I'll take a look at it!

	847901 config with discounts and shipping should be right around your budget, everything should work fine for gaming especially with the high resolution(hence the high vram Titan) however if your modeling, using game engines, etc. I would suggest upgrading to the i7 4770k/Asus Sabertooth combo, however it'll jump your cost up a couple hundred.

	847913 config Samsung SSD no mass storage drive, I figure that is easy to move over from whatever you are using now. No optical drive, but again easy too move over. You keep the 1200w power supply for future expansion and keep the custom loop for the CPU that can be expanded to add your graphics or chipset in the future.

	That's a similar system I wouldve built, however with shipping your going over budget. Also the DS custom cooling system is pretty much for looks and the 1833 ram is not necessary as he most likely will not be OC'ing the RAM. 1600 is plenty fine. Bump the PSU down to a 1050hx and the gpu up to a Titan he's golden and still within budget.

The above uses it with 2 x 770. I saved a bit by going to 16MB of 1600 RAM and useing the 1050W corsair Power Supply. I think that 2 x 770s will be more useful than a single Titan.

	sli 770s are much more powerful than a Titan HOWEVER they only have 2 gb of vram, if your using programs/games and high resolutions, you may want to look into a higher vram card hence 780 = 3gb Titan = 4gb
