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!

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

Yea I didn't mean buy it from them, for some it's easier to prebuild on site to see how it peices together, then order from other sites to save $$$

 

 

I honestly think running the 780 would be good. 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!

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

I was about to choose 2 290x's but then remembered it would probably burn his house down :P.

I'm not really an Intel guy so if someone can find better stuff go for it. No cd drive, because who even uses those anymore?

 

edit: Just noticed my build is pretty close to your original one :)

 

Thats a awesome website ! and no I don't need CD drive or HDD I have 2x 1tb drives i can run in raid 0 for games

Non reference or a reference asus jet fighter?

 

Yeah but some of the people dont have internet when they just finished making the PC. or an other reason

 

....Who the hell cant get internet when doing a build. Go to a friends house, a library, something and just download the os and the drivers....

 

 

Other then that: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/KyPkgs

 

That SSD is a great deal and the eBay seller is super good. Would recommend.

There are other reasons too maybe you need CD to burn or something but it's his choice not to choose one.

With this you get 6 cores of i7 power The beloved 780ti and if you remove the display you are sitting at 2247.92 which is 252.08 below what you want to spend. [The display pretty damn good]

 

Switched the PSU to the V850 Since the CM PSU is just a re-branded Seasonic and Seasonic(Arguably) makes the best PSUs' I have the v700 atm and its fantastic and from what i hear the v850 is even better.

 

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.
