Is this good and will i be able to add another GPU for Crossfire? Its for hardcore gaming

Mother of god.

And I'd suggest the Titan over dual 7970s. Sounds crazy, I know, but the thing is, sli and xfire don't play nicely with some games.

A $3000 build for gaming? Are you crazy? That is massive overkill. You want a mini ITX build so it will be more portable? You can still fit it well under your budget and max out everything until crysis 4 comes out.

Its a at home gaming rig not portable

5

Ehhh a titan is not in what i want at all just because for now i do plan on just using the one 7970 and wont upgrade for quite awhile

Well, at that price point, you can have a mini ITX build like this one, that is just as powerful as a standard ATX one.

My problem with that though is the cpu is a LGA1155 Which is going to not exist in the next socket but LGA2011 will still be updated

8

I believe 2011 is dead as well, actually.

9

Its not, IB-E will be on socket 2011.

10

M-ITX is pointless unless you absolutely need the portability, Ill throw a build together for you when im finished editing all my photos.

11

well the thing is if you have a $3000 dollar budget you should really have more than a 7970

the gpu is the heart of a gaming machine

maybe a 7990?

I might be switching to two GTX 680s

Single cards are best.

For the price of two 680s, why not just get a titan?
