These are the current Retail Prices as of April 2012 and you may get the prices down if you know how to bargain and where to buy them

Please feel free to ask anything about the build which is still in planning stages for me. This is one of the best gaming rig build around for now at a cost, so THIS IS IT.

MODS: I didn't know where to start this thread. If you find it inappropriate here please post it in the right place. Thanks

This is unbeatable guys.

Even the Alienware X51 at this price point is no-match for this monster

that's a good build.. we have the same mobo and i am wondering if it support SLI because as stated in the site it only supports ati crossfire...

and btw dont get the the hyper 212 plus, get the evo. its a lot better just add 5 bucks i think

I'd switch 560 ti's in sli to a single 7870 ...

Hi, I haven't built this monster yet. This is for my friend. Obviously I don't have the money.

I will take in your suggestions. thanks.

And, the point about the EVO cooler was duly taken into account.

About the HD 7870 , I will surely consider it, and can you please explain why a single HD 7870 is better than two 560 Ti's in SLI.

Please help me build this rig.

Less power consumption AND heat, more than enough horsepower for 1080p gaming, and if you oc it's even better, whilst costing less.
Also you avoid sli driver issues and microstuttering, which plagues dual gpu setups.

7870 is not better than two 560ti sli but 560ti SLI it will produce more heat and consume alot of electricity double that of the 7870... a single 7870 will provide you with ample of power for the modern games of today. and btw it is cheaper than the 560ti SLI

That's what I meant, in my book a single 7870 is a better choice, not faster per se -though I'd like to see some benches -. Or maybe a 7950, if the price is low enough...
