That ssd is going to keep you happy for too long, get a good sized hdd
And a blu ray drive
What are you using it for? Assuming the answer is gaming, you may as well save money and buy an i5-4670K and only 8GB of RAM
[editline]21st April 2014[/editline]
Also, do you really need a sound card?
There's no need for an 800w power supply with what you have selected.
It's also a suggestion that instead of a blow-out build;you try to keep the total build cost around $1,000. That way you can upgrade more often and still have money left over.

Ok, thanks!
Why not just buy the [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132038"]Asus Maximus VI Formula[/URL] with the onboard ROG SupremeFX Formula sound card? The difference in sound won't really be too noticeable between the two if you have a good output. Though that sound card does look really sexy. I would suggest the Maximus Hero over the EVGA
if your going to SLI 2 780s dont listen to knightvista hes being silly
I was looking at Intel's roadmap for this year and honestly, go with a 2011 socket. Why? Haswell-EX will be coming out Mid-2014 and will be MUCH better than regular old Haswell. Plus, the 2011 socket will be more beneficial towards your recording and editing.

Are some of the parts very high in price? Yes, but top of the line as well. This will serve as everything you'd ever need as of right now for video recording, streaming, and editing.
You don't need a 4 TB HDD, trust me. I constantly stream (and archive those streams), video record/edit, and engage in many other tasks that call for lots of storage, and I am only at approx. 40% of my 2,240GB.
There is no real need for a sound card, especially if you buy a decent pair of headphones, especially ones with something similar to a MixAmp.
This will serve as a top-of-the-line machine that you will be able to upgrade for quite a while. Haswell-EX will be built around the 2011 socket, which this build utilizes.
The new case has great watercooling support for most of what you'd ever need. Anything you can't fit in that case would never be needed.
I agree with the case. Have had my 750D for about a week now. Can't quite fit everything I could ever dream of, but more than what I could ever hope to afford without selling my car.
The Antec P280 is also a good choice:
[url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129179[/url]
I don't know how long a 780 is, but it can fit an R9 280X with room to spare.

The new case has great watercooling support for most of what you'd ever need. Anything you can't fit in that case would never be needed.[/QUOTE]
This is wrong. The haswell-e processors will use a different chipset and socket to properly use DDR4, haswell's architectural features, alongside native support for SATA3 and USB3 which the aging X79 socket does not have(they use additional controllers to add this, which are slower than native implementations). This means that you'd need to switch out your processor, motherboard [B]AND[/B] RAM to switch to haswell-e, making the point of getting an ivy bridge-e processor completely moot.
For that matter, the 2011 socket is terrible for general consumers because the x79 chipset boards lack basic features you'd get in a regular haswell/ivy bridge motherboard while being significantly more expensive than 1150 counterparts. This is especially true in your build, considering the Asus Rampage IV Extreme is [I][B]horrendous[/B][/I] for someone that isn't going to do extreme overclocking, as it sacrifices other features and user-friendliness for better overclocking potential. If you're going to recommend a 2011 motherboard, at least recommend the actually good Rampage IV Black Edition.
There's frankly no reason not to get a haswell 1150 build though. I have yet to see a reference to haswell-e's release being mid-2014, as most haswell-e parts are rumored for a Q4 2014-Q1 2015 release. (Are you sure you're not confusing it with the haswell refresh supposed to release mid-2014 that has slightly upgraded haswell 1150 processors?) This means that you'd need to wait at least three quarters of a year before being able to make a haswell-e build. For that matter, haswell is a straight upgrade on every point except memory bandwidth compared to a quad-core ivy bridge-e processor, because of it's better architecture and chipset. A Gigabyte D3H that costs around 150$ does everything better than that 400$ ASUS Rampage IV other than the fact the D3H doesn't allow tri-SLI or super-extreme overclocking, while a haswell i7 would have more performance at the same clock speed while having less power consumption
Short version: Get a haswell, ivy-bridge-e is terrible and has no upgrade path
When it comes to soundcards, most likely the integrated soundcard in a motherboard will be enough, but telling him to buy a headset with something similar to a mixamp instead of a soundcard is silly when the mixamp [I]is nothing but a soundcard[/I]
I agree with the case choice, the 750D is an excellent case for a build with a lot of stuff in it
Why would you settle with a 120GB SSD at this budget? There's no reason not to get a 250GB, considering it'll have twice the performance whenever it's used up the 3GB cache, and significantly longer longevity from more NAND chips.
It wouldn't be a budget issue if OP only got a single graphics card, too. I know he posted two 780's in his initial build, but it won't be useful for anything that isn't 4K gaming, and it'll just create microstuttering and issues with games that don't properly support SLI. Even with a 120/144hz 1080p monitor, a single 780 should be fine. If he really needs more performance, picking up a 780Ti will be a much cheaper and better option due to it being a single GPU.

If your using the x264 encoder, you won't need alot of RAM. I can't say for other encoders though
[editline]22nd April 2014[/editline]
I use it on my netbook (2GB), works fine
I agree with random gamer except I'd recommend bumping to the UD4H. The jump is fairly small monetarily, but the OC'ing is improved because the voltage phases is bumped from 8 to 12. It's a worthwhile jump, but after you hit the $170 mark for motherboards you start to hit serious diminishing returns as far as features you'll actually use go.
Idk why you would get a 2011 board for gaming. It's not going to benefit you in any way.
You could always get the 290 crossfire (and there's actually a sale for the ram which I think is worth buying 16gb for $110 total?) which should perform pretty much identical to the 780sli (though better overall), and also better at higher resolutions if you're not using a 1080p monitor or if you're using a triple display.

This is especially true in your build, considering the Asus Rampage IV Extreme is [I][B]horrendous[/B][/I] for someone that isn't going to do extreme overclocking, as it sacrifices other features and user-friendliness for better overclocking potential. If you're going to recommend a 2011 motherboard, at least recommend the actually good Rampage IV Black Edition.
There's frankly no reason not to get a haswell 1150 build though. I have yet to see a reference to haswell-e's release being mid-2014, as most haswell-e parts are rumored for a Q4 2014-Q1 2015 release. (Are you sure you're not confusing it with the haswell refresh supposed to release mid-2014 that has slightly upgraded haswell 1150 processors?) This means that you'd need to wait at least three quarters of a year before being able to make a haswell-e build. For that matter, haswell is a straight upgrade on every point except memory bandwidth compared to a quad-core ivy bridge-e processor, because of it's better architecture and chipset. A Gigabyte D3H that costs around 150$ does everything better than that 400$ ASUS Rampage IV other than the fact the D3H doesn't allow tri-SLI or super-extreme overclocking, while a haswell i7 would have more performance at the same clock speed while having less power consumption
Short version: Get a haswell, ivy-bridge-e is terrible and has no upgrade path
When it comes to soundcards, most likely the integrated soundcard in a motherboard will be enough, but telling him to buy a headset with something similar to a mixamp instead of a soundcard is silly when the mixamp [I]is nothing but a soundcard[/I]
I agree with the case choice, the 750D is an excellent case for a build with a lot of stuff in it
Why would you settle with a 120GB SSD at this budget? There's no reason not to get a 250GB, considering it'll have twice the performance whenever it's used up the 3GB cache, and significantly longer longevity from more NAND chips.
It wouldn't be a budget issue if OP only got a single graphics card, too. I know he posted two 780's in his initial build, but it won't be useful for anything that isn't 4K gaming, and it'll just create microstuttering and issues with games that don't properly support SLI. Even with a 120/144hz 1080p monitor, a single 780 should be fine. If he really needs more performance, picking up a 780Ti will be a much cheaper and better option due to it being a single GPU.[/QUOTE]

Ivy Bridge-E has superior overclocking ability to Haswell, as well as lower power consumption and lower temps. And actually, with Haswell-EX coming to the 2011 socket, it will have an upgrade path. The 1150 socket won't.

Do i only really need 8Gb or ram? I thought 16 would be better personally For Gaming, Video Editing, and other high RAM processes

That build looks great. The processor will do anything you need it to do. And about mid-2014 when Haswell-EX is released, it'll be a simple upgrade. The 1150 socket will no longer have an upgrade path.

It is not coming to the 2011 socket, it has no upgrade path. It does not even make sense for a processor using DDR4 to share a socket with processors using DDR3, i have no idea where you're getting this from.
It does have better overclocking due to using solder instead of cooling paste inbetween the processor lid, but lower temps/power consumption is a blatant lie considering the processor's TDP is 75% higher than the haswell processors and ivy bridge is a less efficient architecture.
You're not suggesting paying nearly 400$ more for an inferior product simply because it has a quarter of a cent's of solder instead of cooling paste, are you?

Haswell-E is for the 2011-3 socket, supporting DDR4. You cannot put a 2011 socket processor into a 2011-3, or vice versa. They may have a similar name, and the chips even have the same dimensions, but they are keyed differently so it will not fit. So in fact the 2011 is even more of a dead socket than the 1150. The last 2011 compatible processor was released in Q3 of 2013, whereas the 1150 socket supports the upcoming Haswell refresh, and it looks like Broadwell will still be in 1150, although Intel is being a bit cryptic about that.

Ok man thanks so much!
Didn't we have this exact same discussion in a previous thread with JC2Gamer making the same dumb suggestion over and over and then finally agreeing 2011 wasn't the best option? I swear I'm having some serious deja vu
ya man i wasnt looking i was on my phone when i replied! LOL
