Is this a good $2500 Build? - Hardware & Software

Anything I should change? This is for my 5760x1080 setup. [media]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/2492/buildk.png[/media] Scratch the 960. 950 instead. Went with the 580. instead of 2 6870's, Total cost is now 2100.

Private wishlist

[QUOTE=Luuper;26196258]Private wishlist[/QUOTE] It is?

[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;26196469]It is?[/QUOTE] Yup.

just grab like a screencap of it or post links

There, Took a Screenie.

That's a pretty bad build. Get a GTX 580 and pair it with another later. And are you an audiophile?

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;26206859]That's a pretty bad build. Get a GTX 580 and pair it with another later. And are you an audiophile?[/QUOTE] I like Good sounding audio, and why a single 580?

[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;26207248]I like Good sounding audio, and why a single 580?[/QUOTE] Get a single GTX 580 so that you can get another and put it in SLI when you have the money.

[QUOTE=MGinshe;26207312]Get a single GTX 580 so that you can get another and put it in SLI when you have the money.[/QUOTE] I wasn't really planning on spending 1000 On GPU's, should I just wait for the 6950, or 6970? Probably equal to better performance for 300/400 dollars.

Oh god, uhh, spend less money on the 960, buy a 950 for pretty much the same performance

[QUOTE=Luuper;26207499]Oh god, uhh, spend less money on the 960, buy a 950 for pretty much the same performance[/QUOTE] OK.

There's absolutely no point in getting the 960 when you can get the 950 and a high-end cooler to go with it for minimal overclocking that will give you the same performance. As others have said, just get a single 580 so that you can SLI it later; making a new build already with Crossfire/SLI usually isn't a smart idea since it gives you less upgrade options in the future.

Why are you actually using this much money? What are you going to do with it?

[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;26207644]Ok, Went with the 580... [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] Yes.[/QUOTE] Then this is a fucking waste of money. You don't need that i7 nor the motherboard.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;26207663]Then this is a fucking waste of money. You don't need that i7 nor the motherboard.[/QUOTE] The build costs 2100 now, calm down.

this is all dumb and you need two 580s to do multiple monitors

[QUOTE=Odellus;26207732]this is all dumb and you need two 580s to do multiple monitors[/QUOTE] Then I'm waiting for the 6990.

[QUOTE=Kel|oggs;26207705]The build costs 2100 now, calm down.[/QUOTE] I am totally calm. It's just that if you don't need an i7, don't buy an i7, since an i5 750 will cost you less and give equal performance. The mobo is cheaper too. [editline]21st November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Kel|oggs;26207771]Then I'm waiting for the 6990.[/QUOTE] Good idea.

If you're just playing games, it won't help. Buy a nice aftermarket cooler for the i5 750, and you're good to go overclock the bad boy. Besides, you'll save 100$ on the mobo, too.

For what? You need four PCI-E slots?

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;26208197]For what? You need four PCI-E slots?[/QUOTE] I need 1-2 for Video cards, I need another for the Revo drive, but I only need 1 PCI-E 1x for the Sound Card.

You can get PCI soundcards you know.. What kind of speakers have you got?

Klipsch 5.1 And a Logitech G35 headset.

Extremely cheap for what you get: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157172&cm_re=lga_1156_atx-_-13-157-172-_-Product[/url] It supports SLI and has got a PCI-E x1 and 3 PCI-E x16/x8/x4.
