Need help with build

I'm only going to spend up to 2k$ on this build. I want a gaming computer I wont have to fuck with for a few years. Some thing that will run any game maxed out and still get 100+ fps with fraps on.

Don't have time to get a build written at the moment but i found this video:

That's all you'll ever need. Should last around 4 years depending on how fast games utilize VRAM and extra cores.

You can lower the price with a cheaper HDD or skip the optical drive or grab a Hyper212 instead of the Corsair H100i. I'd leave everything else though.

I suggest getting a corsair h100i or higher (don't know the latest versions) if you only want to water cool your processor
Case: something big so anything will fir in it, I suggest something like the Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced Tower because it's really big / has a lot of space
Motherboard: asus rampage extreme iv, this shouldn't bottleneck anything.
Ram: 32GB or 64GB (only if you want it) I suggest Corsair Vengence 1866MHz ram
Power supply: 1200 watt, I suggets corsair again

Like I said this is just my suggestions.

Do you ever read the fucking post? Do you not see the price requirement? You don't even mention an SSD. If you're going to bloat out the latest and greatest at least pretend to know what you're talking about.

Nvm see the case. Okay thank you hope this shit doesn't take too long to ship. Also does this come with an OS or do I need to buy one? I think I still have my windows 7 shit some were. Also does it come with the shit to link both GFX cards? I wont be putting this computer together I'm just going to buy the shit then have my friend do it. Also I don't really know how I feel about the Liquid CPU Cooler really do not want liquid around that much money.

Doesnt come with OS but you can probably SE an oem copy or just pirate it. The Sli bridge connector comes with the cars. Also self contained liquid coolers are very reliable, like really reliable. Plus I think theres a guarantee that if the cooler is faulty then corsair will cover the damages, but dont quote me on it. But like I said, if you arent going to overclock then a $30 Hyper 212 is more than enough.

idk if you can wait a +/- a half year as the new Intel i7 4000 series will get released in the Q3 of this year. + maybe the new 700 line of Nvidia( btw idk if the titan is really a recommendation as the Titan has more memory and stuff it still falls short on the EVGA 690 and with the release of the new I overheat Ati HD 7990(or something, (looks shitty as hell with the 3 cheap plastic looking fans... though I think that this will allow for more cooling than the titan will get with the single fan(i know for a fact that this design is good but yeah i don't think it will cool all the way down at the very end of the heatsink)).

Owyeah hmm maybe he can alter the gpu's to Msi Geforce 670 Power Edition /OC if he want's to overclock the gpu's aswell. My single never exceeded 50 degrees. after a 3 day running time (long live lan parties e___e). Why i mention this one is because of the voltage tweaking instead of using software to overclock it.

And if he doens't want to overclock wouldn't he be able to exchange the 3770k for a 3770 sure has 0.1 ghz per core less but yeah it saves allot of cash in my country atleast (arround 50-100 euro's)

BTW who recommended the 39xx series? if you buy one of those ... sure you have a 6 core but damn the prices and if you want one of the best GPU your almost exceeding the budget.

I hate waiting it's going to piss me off waiting for all the stuff to come then wait for my friend to build it. Price isn't a problem really so if I go over 100$ or so then that's fine. I don't know shit about computers to do all that over clocking stuff. I just want something I wont have to mess with for a few years. This will also be my first gaming computer I ever had.

With the build doc made you should be able to play games for the oncomming 3-4 years at the very least without much trouble. Mainly because games the arent allot of games that use more than 2 cores. + and even whilst this isn't supported you'll have a slight advantage using Multithreaded CPU's.

With the current keplar design you can play most games maxed out with also using (the new) TXAA & FXAA formats. Though its a shame that you will not have the Nvidia Boost V2 as it only exists on the Titan gpu.

The included Seagate 3TB works nicely though you should really use a SATAIII port to get more out of it (btw if it runs short on power (insufficiant watt) it wont boot up if you put your pc on sleep mode). BTW is 750 Watt enough as the gpu's will use 190Watt-250watt each (Nvidia Boost 1.0).

The Asrock Extreme6 would be a bad choice for this setup as the top will gpu lane be the only 16x slot. I know as I own one of these. The preformance loss will be rather big as the dual 670 would both need to run on x8 to be compatible(as I can recall) so this will be reduced to a speed like a 680. and you'd pay 200 dollars extra for less. I'd recommend a other extreme board or cheaper gigibyte board (These will have 3x x16 slots and still cost 150usd) or pay 20 dollars more for ASUS or Asrock Fatality.

Damn I thought both slots ran on 16x on all Z77 boards with the new lane controller.

It;s pethatic to see even x4 slots appear. but yeah I own the mobo as I only restict myself to a single gpu + this one should be overclock ready with the additional 4 pin molex (male) connecter on the mobo it self.

CPU:: Intel core i7 3770K Will handle everything, editing programs and gaming.
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 Will easily overclock your CPU to 4.5ghz and will reduce the noise level. (Best CPU cooler on the market)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H Best Overclocking board that has extra features.
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz Low profile 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 Plenty of memory if you want to do editing.
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro Series 256GB SSD Retail Box One of the best SSDs. Install your OS on this along with some games.
HDD: Western Digital 2TB Caviar Black Keep your movies, games, music etc on this. All the main programs should remain on SSD.
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD7970 GHz Edition 3GB Beast GPU, beats 680 in most tests. If you want editing power though, go for a 680.
Case: Corsair Carbide 500R Case - Black Sexy looking case, has heaps of HDD/SSD racks along with nice LED fans. Will be easy to install your stuff in as well.
Power Supply: Silverstone Strider Plus 600W ST60F-P Modular PSU, its 80+ Bronze, if you want more efficiency, go for Silver/Gold and Platinum being the highest.

Good luck with the build

!
All these components will blend in really well.
If you need help don't be hesitant to PM me.

Upgrade PSU to something thats sufficient for a SLI/Xfire build later on. 600W is cutting it close.

For a budget of $2000, you can get something really, really good. You can check all sorts of websites online.
