Haha, I think i could scrounge up 6 bucks. I'll go ahead and order it and start researching on how to overclock. Thanks again.
This is the mobo I have

Motherboard isnt compatible. You need a 1155 socket, so a Z77 mobo. Or keep the mobo and get a 4670k processor.
Also, low profile RAM, especially if you're getting that CPU cooler. Really, Hazaro, you should put that in the OP in big, flashing letters. lol
PSU is also overkill. Get a 550 watt one.
You can also save money with the regular 840 series SSD if you want.

Will do!
Anyway, I cancelled my Diamond Radeon HD 6670 1GB GDDR5 order and ordered that XFX Radeon HD 7750 1GB GDDR5 along with a DVI to VGA adapter, all for less than $5 more than the other card cost me (thanks to some Amazon credit). It should be here on Wednesday.
Hope it works. If not, I might be able to get another power supply or even another computer from my dad's work place. They bought the building along with everything in it, and there were a bunch of computers there that they're going to give away. We're supposed to get one at some point, but I don't know when. I think they're all Pentium D's and Athlon 64 X2's, but I'm not sure, as I didn't get to really check them all out.

hell, right now you can get the evo's for the price of the 840's

Quick question: is triple buffering + vsync possible with SLI mainly with two 680 gtx and d3d overider?
Is the pump plugged into the motherboard,or into straight power? I'll bet money its on a voltage adjustible motherboard header, and it's not getting full power.

Lightboost messes with gama and color so much there's really no reason to stress about accurate colors if you're going to use it.

All this monitor talk made me realize that my dell LCD is near 7 years old now. That's the longest I've gone without a monitor upgrade. My previous two monitors were CRT's and got them within a 3 year span. This is the only computer part I've been neglecting. What would you guys recommended that's in the 20" to 22" range that isn't too pricey?

I don't think its that because when I removed the H80i there was no TIM in the middle of the CPU which means its not connecting well
They are, bad wording on my part. I thought I read there was an 840 PRO EVO coming along at launch at the same time.
SSDs should be these soon:
120GB 840 EVO (Depending on reliability and wear testing)
128GB 840 PRO
250GB 840 EVO

Your "closed case water cooled system" dops your room temperature 10 degrees Celsius? Really, now.
Ah, I see. The PSU is already bought, it's a part I have lying around that I'm not using.
I'll change everything else though, thanks!
Quick question: If I'm not looking to overclock but heat is still an issue (it will be in a room with inadequate air conditioning), should I go with Ivy or Haswell?
OK finally getting ready to order my PC parts and just wanted to see what you guys think:

Get better fans (FDB / Fluid Bearing)
Get the 840 EVO SSD
Get the 4770K
Change PSU to seasonic g series 550w. With that saving get a 4770K and a CPU cooler. 800w is serious overkill.

Getting ready to build my first gaming-specific PC. This thread's been very helpful already and I think I've got something that works, but I'm hoping you guys might be able to spot any mistakes I've made:

Change SSD to http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-drive-sv300s37a120g or http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-internal-hard-drive-sv300s37a120g
Change HDD http://pcpartpicker.com/part/western-digital-internal-hard-drive-wd10ezex
EVGA 760 is cheaper if you want to save some cash but still get an excellent one http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-video-card-02gp42763kr
Change your PSU to this. Overkill by a huge margin but the same price after rebate and modular too http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
For your case consider the Fractal Design Core 3000 as another option http://pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-case-fdcacore3000bl and http://pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-case-fdcacore3000usb3bl
Do you really need an optical drive? Considered powerline adapters for your internet needs?
My first gaming PC part just came in the mail. It was based off of a suggestion from this very thread!
The journey begins.
.
Thats pretty much the exact reason I am thinking about it too.( I have a 2407 Ultrasharp).
It refuses to die.
I think I might just go with an 2713H or HM depending on how much of sale the former is on when i pull the trigger.
The depressing part about it all is that 27'' 16:9 monitors are not much taller if at all vs 16:10 24'' monitors.
And the U30xx has less pixel density so I have ruled that out.
Asus had a Pro Art 27'' at trade shows this year but nothing about specs or release date.
Maybe I should sell a kidney and get the 31.5'' 4k Asus monitor

I read Kitchen Confidential, but I don't see how it relates to building a PC. Explanation?

I don't know how it relates either, but this is the neogaf PC thread, so you don't question it.
Any suggestions for the CPU cooler? Fans?
I can easily upgrade to the EVO and 4770k but I don't plan on overclocking so I dunno if it is worth it.

I dunno man I've been drinking today and I thought it looked cool for scale because Anthony Bourdain.
Another vote for the EVO here. They are newer and thus the controller is smarter and more well rounded. If you use the rapid software then you will get sick transfer speeds. I think it was about the same price as the regular 840 anyway.
Just stick with a 4770 then. Save the 30 bucks and buy a game instead. There is not a massive performance gap here. It is probably 10% max, or about $30 bucks worth, and that is after you overclock it. Plus you need extra cooling to make it livable at higher clock frequencies and vcore.

Bourdain needs no explanation.
That actually could be an option :/ I'm working off an 80gb hard drive right now...

does everything have to be from newegg?
do you have a Microcenter anywhere close? Or maybe somebody who could snag deals for you?
Does the WD have to be a black? How about blue?
Maybe lose the optical drive?
has anyone ever dealt with Outlet PC?
maybe find a lil less expensive ram perhaps?
cuz....
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1t9An
less expensive ram brings it down to $1070. and without a optic drive, down to $1050
Yeah i saw this too.
You can cut $5ish on the video card probably by dropping down 1 model(and still keeping the ACX cooler)
There is a GSKILL kit on newegg that is about $10 cheaper than the Corsair was. Adata is cheaper than that but I dont feel safe recommending it because I have never used them as a brand or heard anything about them.

Awesome, thank you for the feedback!
Changed out the SSD, HDD, and PSU to your suggestions. Going to upgrade to a similar mid Fractal case similar to the one you ID'd. Sticking with the 760 I had ($5 difference in price, but I get the new Splinter Cell with it) and the wi-fi adapter. I'd never even heard of power-line adapters, but I wouldn't feel comfortable with that until our upcoming re-wiring is finished. And, yeah ... Blu-Ray r/w is a nice-to-have that I'll keep.
Here's the new list, in case anyone else has comments:

Closest Microcenter is in St. Louis I believe, 3 hour drive from me. Not everything needs to be from Newegg, and those savings you found are perfect! I'm not dead set on the ram, and I'm actually trying to figure out if I need an optical.

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R $56.99
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Anton668/saved/2c6P
yeah, Microcenter needs to open more stores!!!!!!
and you can always buy optic drive in the future if you really find you cant live without it. finding $20 down the road is hella easier than $1000+

I'm looking at getting a 4850 for about NZ$100. So think, competitively, 60 bucks. Will it be worth it? I am getting an old i5 and it has a 7200 in it. I just wanna be able to play things like Deus Ex and stuff; don't need it to pump out the pretties.
Don't waste your time on a 4850. A 6670 or a 7770 would be much better.
