Gaming build $1000-1500

Ok guys. I'm thinking of pulling the trigger tonight, or at the latest Sunday. A few of the deals have changed but I can be a bit flexible going a over $1500 as long as it's not a significant amount. Any last opinions? I'd love to order everything from Amazon for their great shipping and...

Gaming build $1000-1500

Oh that is a great looking monitor. I suppose the 1k build and that would put me just above budget but for the quality it may be worth it!

Thanks for the suggestion, mfenn. I remember seeing that monitor. It might be worth a shot. You think this monitor, in conjunction with the recommended mid-range build would be a good combination for decent 1440p gaming?

I was actually looking at his build, since its in my price range. I'll have to look into the monitor deals they sound pretty good. Thanks for the suggestion. I suppose given the financial circumstances I'll wait on 1440p for now.

Gaming build $1000-1500

Hey Essence good to hear from you again. Thanks for the clarification I see how that affects the gut of the PC - yes, monitor included in the build price. KB, mouse, OS don't need to be included, I'll cover those outside the budget. Last time we did this I ended up increasing my budget by...

Gaming build $1000-1500

Hey all, Initially I posted with a $2500 budget. Some circumstances came up that made it so I had no internet for longer than I thought, so no build, then money priorities shifted, and consequently I've decreased my budget to about $1500 for now. I'm looking for some advice. I would LIKE...

New laptop: Windows 8.1 to 8.1

Hey everyone, I was curious what the best method (in your opinion) is for getting as close as possible to your former configuration on an old laptop when going to a new one. My current laptop is on Windows 8.1, and I'll be purchasing a new gaming laptop and running 8.1 on it as well. Windows...

Large budget - late October build recc.

I had 4GB 770's in my cart, but still debating. The 7970's look clean too. As EightSix Four said, maybe I'll wait for the BF4 alpha reviews / new AMD cards to come out before purchasing. If the cards are $500-600 I may pick up two of them!

Large budget - late October build recc.

Hey all, I posted in the General Hardware forum with a build / recommendation, and it's shaped up really nicely. The only issue is I REALLY can't decide on a GPU / Monitor combo. I've decided I'll probably get a 27" IPS monitor for gaming in 1440p - I really enjoy the colors over the...

~ $2000-2500 streaming/gaming build

Ah thanks Essence. I'm a pretty diverse gamer (e.g., BF3, WoW, SC2, LoL, DoTA). I play a wide range of games. The games I MOST enjoy are generally MMORPG's / RTS, which would appear to take advantage of the high res IPS monitors. I'm going to be in school for a long time, so I'll be gaming a...

Can someone PLEASE weigh in here on monitors - I've been scouring the internet trying to find a monitor solution. 1440p, 1080p, 120hz, 60hz, 2 ms / 8ms, build quality. The fact that I have another 2 weeks before I order the parts leaves me constantly researching and I literally have a headache...

~ $2000-2500 streaming/gaming build

Hey all. It seems that at the 2560x1140 resolution I plan to be gaming / streaming in, the GTX 770 / 680 series in SLI is comparable to the 7970's in CF. The major difference being the roughly $100-per-card price. However, it seems that SLI is more stable than CF in this series. Anyone have...

~ $2000-2500 streaming/gaming build

It's funny, Essence of War; I came here set on my typical single-gpu mindset. And now, I can't get rid of the notion that I NEED a dual-gpu setup. Maybe I'm driven by the fact that I've never done it before, and I enjoy trying new things. I've never heard of that heat spread as a consideration...

~ $2000-2500 streaming/gaming build

Wow, ok guys. I edited yet again (based on GPU, RAM, and OS recommendations) and shaved off over $100 and maintained mostly the same build. I'm really glad I came to this forum and avoided just throwing parts together that were compatible with good ratings and calling it a day. Saving a lot of...

Great thanks guys! So it looks like everything is pretty solid, except the GPU choice and Windows 7/8. Maybe there will be price changes in the next 3-4 weeks that influence my decision but all-in-all it's shaping up. Seems as though (as always) contrasting opinions on which GPU(s) to use, but...

~ $2000-2500 streaming/gaming build

If I were to allow a bit more flexibility in the budget, do you think the increase in performance potential would be worth the increase in budget? Or is there a better alternative to maintain a smooth system while streaming and gaming simultaneously? Edit: Alright. I rebuilt the list based on...

~ $2000-2500 streaming/gaming build

Alright sweet, thanks mfenn. I'm really liking the option that allowed CFX 7970's 27" screen. The only thing is I'd like a strong, overclockable CPU as well. I'll be at my new command in 3 weeks. That is when I'll order the parts. So I'll wait before putting anything in the cart in case any...

Hah, BTRY, I don't. Alright awesome. It looks like sticking to the to the middle-ground resolution instead of the incredibly high one will allow me to have a perfect balance for my budget/performance desires. Like I said before, I COULD afford to invest more in the build, I just don't want to go...

Lots of great info! BTRY B 529th FA BN - It's likely that I'll be streaming: World of Warcraft (and other MMORPG's), BF4, and possibly a few others. That's the core though. mfenn - from what I've read, it seems like getting one excellent video card puts out better performance than two. But...

Hah! Didn't expect to be. :D Like I said, it'll be 3-4 weeks before I actually order the parts. I'm reporting to a new command soon, but essentially I want to get to my new house and immediately order this with all the research and debate out of the way. What really separates, say, an i7-4770K...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll revise the build. It seems as though the only big decision I have left is for the CPU / PSU. Thanks a lot!

Hey all - looking for suggestions and comments on an upcoming build I plan on ordering in the next 4 weeks. My primary concerns are high-end gaming and live streaming in at least 720p with as high of FPS as possible. (I have the internet for it) My budget is $2000-2500 and I will need...
