You shouldn't be ordering tonight, you can wait a day or two to make sure you order the right stuff.

Why in the world would your buying Windows 7 Ultimate?

What PSU? What motherboard? What's your budget? Where are you ordering from?
 
newegg.com
and my budget is 900 im getting the whole setup for $850

Stock HSF for the moment decided to go with a lil ssd since im going intel and I ALREADY have an unopen 500gb Sata 6gb hard drive
and 8gigs of ddr3 ram so basicly I DONT HAVE TO BUY THE RAM, or the HARD DRIVE
the price on newegg is $860 for the stuff i listed above, but honestly id like to be able to lower that gpu to a 7950 but im SCARED that may not cut it at 60 fps also currently with two 7850 1gbs i only get 10 fps on crysis 3 WITH EVERYTHING Turned up :( i think the vram is holding me back on that the 7950 and 7970 have 3gigs so it should be fine right? so let me know mybe some one can find a good rig on newegg.com maybe sujest somewhere else? not sure but ive always used newegg and no microcenter isnt an option
 
OMG CAPS.

Crysis 3 is still in beta. Games also usually perform pretty bad as soon as they're launched, usually AMD and NVIDIA will quickly release driver updates that improve performance. Your performance issues is probably the game, not your cards.

Other than that, are you planning to overclock? I would recommend a better motherboard if you are. If you're not, no need for the K CPU and you can get a much cheaper motherboard.

Definitely do NOT get that PSU. Getting a quality PSU is extremely important, cheap ones usually can't output the power they say they can. Actually try to draw 700W from that and it'll probably cough and die with the potential to kill other parts as well. Do you plan on ever going with multiple cards?
 
what do you recommend? also i ve had that same board befor and hit 4.8 on a 3570k? does okay with me ? would an Extreme 3 work? from asrock?
 
The 7970 is the fastest single gpu on market right now, 670 is on par with 7950. If you've already had that mobo and a 3570k what happened to them? I'm curious.
 
I've sold over 15computer worth over $900 in the last year. I buy them wait two weeks when prices go down and sell then I just sold my phenomii paired with a 6850 1gb x2 with a 100gb sold state windows 7 ult 64 bit w/ 8 gigs ram for 965 yesterday and yet everything I need including a brand new 1080p monitor all for under 1000 I basically paid40 not even that for a two times better system then what I had! I went ahead and got the extreme 3 and today I got it with 8gigs of ram free! Ab7950 3Gb another 8gigs of ram total16gb ddr3 1600 900 watt psu windows7 home64 bit 500gb western digital black!
