An i7 won't give u any real performance compared to an i5 as all it has an advantage in is multi threading which helps in rendering mainly. Also I would recommend getting a gtx 680 or 780 as the performance in terms of fps may not be as good as 2 650ti's but it will looks smoother as there will be less micro stuttering and it might flicker. The architecture on the 780 is also near that of the gtx Titan so you can't go wrong there and in my opinion is a lot more futureproof. The extra vram will help if u play games with mods or at higher resolutions or multiple moniters. Hope tht helps

Wow you are just over powering your system, if you just want to play video games, even for Battlefield 4.

Is a 530w PSU better?

Id go with the 650 watt one, just to be on the safe side

So i guess im waiting for intel and nVidia to come out with new better products but i would still have to save up to get the money to buy it and by then there would be better stuff for the same price

Its your choice, im saving up for the GTX 650 ti but by they time ive saved up enough the 750 ti will be out, so I'll have to think about it. Also, DDR4 is meant to be ou end of 2013 or so

Removed CPU to wait for the new ones to come out, removed the Thermal Paste, and the Operating System I have on the list doesn't say it's a 3 pack.
Is any other problems with what I have?

Gtx770 is released so other ones will be soon to follow. remove the gpu for new ones. Also i would keep the thermal paste in it, it can help with bringing heat to the cooler from the cpu



I have two GTX 650 Ti BOOSTs on the list for 2-way SLI. These two together seem like they would be almost as powerful as the 770 for about $48 less.

Personally i would wait until after summer, as the new Intel cpus are coming out soon. The rest that the others posted seem good enough.

Agreed. They're going to announce (and start releasing) the new parts in literally a few days, so buying now would be impulsive and generally a bad idea. Also, Nvidia's working on their 700 line, so I'd keep an eye out for those, too. 750 or higher (according to their current card name scheme) should offer sufficient performance.

Best site in the world, if you want to find a build with minimal bottleneck.

I changed the CPU back to i7 and removed the case. You can chose what you like.

This should get you 40+ fps on ultra in most games. If you more performance you can crossfire two of the gpus. Plus the gpu comes with 4 free games. Just choose whatever case you want.

I changed the CPU to i5 instead of i7
It's a few dollars less.

And if you need anything else just ask. I'm more than happy to help.

You can change the case to something you like and you don't really need the sound card.

he doesnt need a 3 pack of windows 7 and why did u add a cpu cooler if the cooler with the i7 can do that. i also had a desktop for over ten years and never had to put on thermal paste.

You can build your own computer, it's more fun than just just buying one already put together from somewhere.
Just order the parts from any website that you like. I personally like http://www.newegg.com/
I would recommend an Intel i7 possessor and two GXT 650 Ti BOOST SC graphics cards. 2 look like they could handle almost any game. The rest is mostly up to you.
Use http://pcpartpicker.com/ to make a list of everything you want and then post a link to it so I can review what you have and recommend other things.
