    2400$ with Shipping Rig. Looking to buy TONIGHT

    Mobo on old machine just died 10 minutes ago. Got a solid 7 beeps. Need to replace unit anyway. Not utilizing ANYTHING from old. Don't bother.

    Need OS, I need everything.

    I play WoW on two monitors and I like to watch HD videos (Doesn't matter). Quicker the speed the better, I'd like to maximize performance in WoW. No color scheme preference. I need 0 accessories (Headset,monitors,speakers etc.). Please give me the best build for 2400$ WITH shipping. No issues with not hitting that budget. I'd like to have a 980 and an i7 in there as well.

    Please also, if using Newegg that it's in stock and if it's not someone who has an alternative. Thank you <3

    Are you comfortable setting up a water cooling loop?

    Preferably not, but I've done it before. I just don't like the maintenance and I also have a 3 year old who is known for banging things, I wouldn't want him to make it leak and break everything in the world.

    You should add in where you're from, so people don't give you prices on a website you can't order from, or can't be to shipped to your location. etc etc

    Ummm $2400 build for WoW? Do you play other games? Video editing? etc?

    And honestly, if want to maximize performance while not spending dumb amounts of money, you're better off with 2 970s over 1 980. Slightly more than a single 980 and much much more performance, but it's all useless for just WoW. So is an i7. Well i7 is useless for all games really.

    I also play Naruto Ultimate ninja, I've been slowly getting into Steam games... And streaming could be potential down the road and I'll probably get a 4k Monitor too in the future.

    The only thing you could probably do better is 2 980s rather than 2 970s, but it's honestly a whole lot more (~$400) for mediocre gains. It's about in your budget though if you chose to do so. May have to drop down to 256GB SSD instead and maybe save on a case, which neither hurt your performance in any way.

    The cooler is optional. You could go for Something like a Dark Rock 3 or Dark Rock Pro 3 and save a little, but you may have to find some more low profile ram to use.

    That been said, You'll never, ever use a single 970 completely for WoW, much less 2 of them. I'd advise to to just stick with a single 970 if that's all you're going to be playing. I just threw the second in there since it's in budget and you said you may play other games, but those may not need the cards either.

    Let me add, people come to these forums all day every day asking for building suggestions. What makes this guy any different? Guy has the money and is ready to order as well as being nearly completely informative on what he needs. If you got nothing to suggest take it somewhere else.

    We don't help people here for money, man. Appreciate the offer though. Not sure the point in there antics.

    Also, case is completely optional on what you like to look at. If you see another case that can fit the cards/cooler and everything else that you like don't hesitate to take it. Reviews can tell you a lot about the case. I'm personally about to invest into a new case myself (Air 540) that you might even like. Aesthetics are definitely something you can afford to be picky on with that budget.

    Instead of Water cooling could we use an alternative?

  19. #19
    Why windows 8 go windows 7 it is cheaper and easier to learn and is more compatible with more games, yes i know your using it for wow, and also a 4k screen isnt really needed 1020-1920 should be more then enough.

    Definitely. Dark Rock 3 is about $50 or if you plan to do a bit more serious overclocking the Dark Rock Pro 3 is still cheaper than the H100i. Both are quieter too. I'm just not 100% certain on whether the ram with fit.

    http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gskill-...f31600c9d16gsr Should though.
