So uh, I saw BeakTrots make a post in this section about his new PC and I thought, "Hey, I'm building a PC, and I need some outside criticism, so let's post my build here!"So here goes nothing (feel free to criticize, I want to build the best PC I can)!

Monitor resolution?Posted on 01 July 2014 - 03:14 AM
1920x1080p.Posted on 01 July 2014 - 08:11 PM
What's your budget?Posted on 01 July 2014 - 08:49 PM
I'd suggest this monitor:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236175
I have it, and BenQ is overpriced and bad quality…
Also for your CPU:

I don't know if that really means anything, but I took away was that it can only support up to 1.7GB of GPU memory, which obviously isn't enough for your 4GB GPU.
Lastly, since I know money isn't a big issue for you <_<, here's a much better suggested CPU:

I've heard a ton of good reviews of the 4670K, and this still has the same socket for your MoBo.

I looked at a few different CPU's and they all had 1.7GB, so I'm not sure what it means. I'm gonna keep looking around for monitors.I'll switch over to the i5 4670K.

Still would like your budget. Could make a much better PC.Posted on 04 July 2014 - 03:52 PM
$1600-$1800. It's flexible.I would like to spend $1600 but I could spend $1800 if I really needed to. I'm not even sure what all these parts add up to LOL, I've switched every part at least twice since I began working on this.

I'll make two Sugggestions, Screw it allGet like 4 TitanZ's
Like 1 I-7 Extreme
64 gigs of ram,
Extra 4 780ti's
Some crazy liquid cooling that's like neon green \
And some like 10k TB
with google Fiber
AND put it all into
In Win S-Frame case 10/10

@inFamousGKC You don't need hyperthreding to game, so go with an i5 intel, and get 2x4 8gb memory so you can dual channel it@quintencapital you really don't need an expensive mobo and 16 gb ram is so overkill unless you're a 3d animator and use photoshop a lot.

This is the Intel i5-4670k.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899
It is ~$235, has a clock speed of 3.4 GHZ (stock), and has 4 cores.
This is the AMD FX-8350.

It is ~$180, has a clock speed of 4.0 GHZ/4.2 GHZ Turbo, and has 8 cores.
So you want to pay more money for… less performance?

@Googol you're getting all of your products from newegg. Look around for the cheapest price. It's also pretty much fact that intel processors just perform BETTER than AMD processors, AMD processors just being for budget buildsPosted on 07 July 2014 - 05:46 PM
@quintencapital get a better Mini ITX case that can support longer gpus than 177 mm like the Fractal Design Arc Mini R2, it's about the same size but supports 260 mm cardsPosted on 07 July 2014 - 05:47 PM
@Googol go for an i5 like this: Intel Core i5-3470Posted on 07 July 2014 - 06:19 PM

And you didn't think about upgrading in the future. Eventually games will take advantage of more than 4 cores. If you want to photo edit or record, an i7 is the way to go. I put one stick of ram in because it'll give you more space in the future to upgrade without taking all of your ram out when you want to go past 16GB.
Posted on 07 July 2014 - 07:34 PM
But still, why would you need to go over 16 gb of ram when most gamers use 8?
