COON Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 To make it easier on yourself go to cyberpowerpc.com then go in there and custom build one and then order parts from Amazon/Newegg if you like. Building it on CyberPower can help you make sure everything you want is compatible with each other. With $2500 you can build a demonic PC lol. When you get to site, scroll down some and just hit "Customize" on one of the PCs and you can fully build/change it from there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the parts I picked will work together fine and cyber power up charges a lot for parts and I'd never buy a prebuilt but I can get 2133 ram with cas latency 10 ram for same price which is cool I can't decide two gtx 770s in sli or a gtx 780ti Edited June 21, 2014 by xxpotandaxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having that nice SSD is gonna be good as well. I love mine, need to order a bigger one though. Also not sure if you ever get videos/music/movies/tvshow but I have a regular 1tb hd in there just for my main downloads so i don't clog my SSD. Looks like you have a good build though, would like to see pics of it completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 2x 1tb Seagate barracudas i was gunna run in Raid 0 I forgot to mention and i was thinking of doing a build log Maybe that might help me not rush build to cause im so exited lol Im giving my self a date too to order so i think about parts I like and yeah i was looking at two 780's but that Might go over my $2500 Budget But if a game is not optimized for SLI Then it wont scale well and ill basically be using just a 770 But bench marks show it is faster when it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranHorse Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If anything you could spend the extra $252.08 on some Noctua Fans to make your pc run extra chilly Custom loop yo. Also I hate sabertooth boards. They are the same as the pro versions with different color scheme. Much less gaming options then the ROG boards (only difference here is sound chipset. Sure there is other stuff like thermal armor and ssd superduperduper speed .2%increase ondatass and the always useful madeupbbridgehsf) ok rant over. Buttttttttt (booty) I would only get x79 with intent on tri or quad sli and more memory then your heart desires. They are just workstation/superserver boards with gaming stuff written on them.
