Now as im looking up all the major componets and most of them are not avaible or discotenuided and its a little outside what I want to spend...


Budget - 1500-2000$
Resolution - 1080i(p) what ever it is now adays
Games / Settings Desired - Wow mostley and hopefully at max resalution
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) - a little bit of photshop and streaming with twitch
Country - US
Parts that can be reused - nothing I cant use anything for this build mainly because i will be keeping my old one for my wife so she can play with me (as they say the family that games together stays together - right?)
Do you need an OS? I will need an os I have used xp, vista, windows 7, with todays day and age i think windows 8 would have to be the way to go
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)? Ill get these myself from local stores from my town so dont have to worry about these.

This would be my first major build in over 5 years so that can prolly tell you what I have been using sense then... Thanks in advance and if any other questions ill be checking the fourms frequently

*I do appolgise about my spelling

For playing Wow at max resolution and a little bit of streaming/photoshop thats alot of overkill and wasted money. You should be able to get your requested needs in one of the ~1000ish builds as well but if you can afford it more power to you

[chazus]

Yeah.. There actually isn't a single item in that list I would recommend, and you could get a system with the same performance for half the price.

Ill build up a similar system in a few moments.

Thanks chazus that would be great i hope you also can delete my pm from this morning...

Ofcourse you can easily swap thw i5 for 4770k with your budget, it will help with streaming a bit.

[chazus]

Yeah >.< it's been a long day for me, and I'm about as good at checking my messages as I am my phone.

Pretty much what Cyrops listed. It should be noted that the XFX 550w PSU is currently on sale until TOMORROW. I would pick it up tonight/tomorrow, regardless of what you end up building. It's a fantastic deal, and there's no reason to pass it up.

Only thing I would def change with Cyrops' build would be getting a bigger SSD. 120gb is filled up in no time, I would get the 240 one.

Top-end of your budget, may be somewhat overkill:

Heh, maybe it's just me, but I don't use my SSD for gaming, my velociraptor does the job

That xfx 550 is quite tight for that system, i dont think it will hold with everything at full load, not even counting overclocks. Awesome build and you cheaped out on psu

Quality 500W PSU can support dual video cards, not sure what you are on there bud.

I am not quite sure what you means dual, as in sli and all in full load? 780ti has a max of 375w , add cpu and another say 80w for the rest? Thats almost the xfx wattage. So not sure what you are talking about sli...

Oh you ment @tenangrychickens build? :P

[huffwin]

Thanks for the help guys will update with what i actually end up going with

Er? 780ti tops out at 250... 270 if you overclock it a fair bit... 4770K tops out at 80. At full load (i.e. never) you're looking at like 400... not... 550.

Asus says up to 375w ?

[chazus]

Asus says up to 375w ?

Those numbers are for marketing purposes. Its the same reason they say you need a 600w even though draw is only 250w. They don't know what you're working with. Liabilities, pretty much. Also "Up to" is important. 375w is probably what they've load tested the chip on before it exploded. But in reality, it caps out at ~250w.
