I have been looking for a long time now, and have now come down to 4 different builds for about the same price, but I don't know which one of them is going to give me most performance.
These are the parts I have allready decided:
CPU Cooler: H100i
Case: CoolerMaster HAF X
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
SSD: Corsair Force GS 128GB
RAM:16GB 1600mhz Corsair Vengeance
The parts that varies are mainly the CPU and GPU (PSU and motherboard varies accordingly to them)
Go with the 3570k plus the Titan, unless you really need that extra CPU speed. Do not just go out and buy two 660's, crossfire is great for upgrading, but It can be more trouble than it's worth sometimes.
Also, I have heard that Crysis 3 is more cpu intensive than other games. Do you think the 3570k would perform a significant amount worse than the 3770k or the 3930k?
Personally, I would get a 3820 and Titan. It isn't too much more expensive than a 3570k and Titan, and will offer a much better upgrade path.
Also, if you want to overclock, I wouldn't recommend the H100i. It has many issues, and has been known to leak pretty easily. For the money, a Phanteks PH-TC14PE would be much more effective, offering better temps for a cheaper price. If you include the price of 2 good fans to go with it (the stock ones are great performing, but sound like jet engines), such as Cougar Vortex 140mm fans, then you are looking at the price of a regular H100i, but with better thermal performance.
Corsair Vengeance RAM is pretty ugly and massive; I would recommend G.SKILL Trident X 2133mHz memory instead; the red heatsinks are removable, and the build quality is rediculous. They have a great RMA service, and the Trident X series is generally just really powerful. I'm rocking 16GB of dual-channle 2400mHz CL10 Trident X and couldn't be happier.
The Corsair Force GS is not a great SSD; I have had several Corsair SSDs, and they are generally not the fastest. They overprice the SSDs for slower, weaker products. I would recommend a Samsng 840 Pro for the money. Also, Seagate Baraccuda drives have about a 30% failure rate. Get a Seagate SV35.5 instead.
For a single Titan, a 650W PSU is more than enough. Look into a Seasonic X 650, Lepa 650, or Rosewill Capstone Modular 650. Lepa generally makes the best PSUs of all time. As in, insane quality. Rediculous, really.
I come from Norway by the way, and computer parts is about 25% more expensive than North-America.
My budget is between 16 000kr and 17 000kr, which is equivalent to 2800$-3000$ or 2100$-2250$ if you think about the parts being generally more expensive.
I managed to hit my price target with these parts:
CPU: i7-3820
GPU: GTX Titan
Motherboard: Asus P9X79 (standard)
PSU: Corsair HX 650
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i
Case: Cooler Master HAF X
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1TB
SSD: Samsung 840 Pro 128GB
RAM: 16Gb Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz
I don't really care about the looks of the ram, and I don't bother getting som extra fans because of the 250mm, 200mm and 120mm fans allready installed in the case plus the 2 from the H100i.
Looks good; I would replace the Haf X with a Corsair 650D, personally; it looks much better to me. I suppose I can't convice you to get low profile Corsair Vengeance memory, can I? It looks leagues better than the massive Vengeance stuff.
I may get the low profile ram, but the case is would blow my budget. You have been super helpfull and I want to thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :)
I just come to think of something, would 650w be enough if I overclock my cpu and gpu? I plan to overclock the cpu just above 4Ghz or something and the Titan to 1Ghz, would I need any bigger psu to allow this?
personally if you whant to put a $1000 gpu in your pc put a 900w 1000w gold 80+ 90+ psu in there (if your psu blows up its a 50/50 chance it will take the rest of the pc with it)
I both love and hate corsair products for one reason thay make reasonable products for reasonable prices thay are not known for quality
