$4k+

Sounds like overkill; but if you want to throw money around like that, then go ahead.

I honestly don't think you know what you want or need. What I would suggest is doing further research. Wanting 32GB of ram and a 1250w PSU with a simple i5/7970(and thinking you will get a decent framerate with triple 1440p monitors) setup shows that you don't know enough yet.

^ above is a link to a very good website to test your ideas and get help with building a PC that you want. I honestly don't think MAL is the best place to be getting suggestions on this subject.

Buying 32GB of RAM is stupid.

You do not need a 1250W PSU for that. For the same price you could get a higher quality 80 Plus Platinum PSU at a lower wattage.

That is a SAS drive, an ``ENTERPRISE'' component you are putting on a typical crappy Asrock gaming motherboard. Don't complain when it doesn't work.

There are better Intel processors you could buy at the same price point as a 3570K. It was good but it's need to stop being recommended.

AMD GPU drivers suck in comparison to nVidia's, especially on anything other than Windows. There's no reason to buy an AMD card.

This is probably going to cost you the most out of anything. Thousands of dollars to at least a thousand.

Are you sure you're building a computer for gaming and not the LHC?

Update:

You need to just go down to Fry's or Newegg.com give people your price range and ask for help because you obviously don't know what you're doing.

On that note, the cheapest shit out right now plays most anything that's not brand new and maxed out @ 1600p. Read his post again and try not to laugh at the grammar and ridiculous use of 'smileys'. I'm gonna use that in person tomorrow, 'how much bucks is this gonna run me?'....


If you're going to insult someone's grammar you have to be able to write a coherent sentence yourself.

Wanting three monitors isn't an unreasonable thing.

7970 GHz: 400
Cheesy case + cooler: 90
Assrock XTREME mobo: 115
32GB of DDR3 1600MHz RAM ("Tri-channel", am I getting trolled?): Around 280 bucks. (RAM is incredibly expensive right now)

Wasabi threw that build onto pcpartpicker, so there's that number (4.2k) to work with.

RAM has always been expensive, though. What OP really needs to do to save money is to plant a stick of RAM in the soil, so then it can become a RAM tree.

Don't worry OP, you can always DOWNLOAD some more ram.

I think your MAL credentials are a bit lacking for you to be looking down on people's post count.

Your entire post just reeks of immaturity. Who the heck cares how you write on the internet as long as others can understand it?


OnT: Those specs are overkill if their only purpose is for gaming. And I think 27" monitors are a bit too big for a three-monitor setup? I have no experience in this, but I personally wouldn't go past 24" unless you have the desk space...

Even if you've got the money to waste on this, I would still recommend against it. I'd rather you spend the extra cash on better peripherals.
