Hey guys, is it worth it to wait until like, June for price cuts (barring a great sale) when new stuff come out? I have a friend planning on making a decent gaming rig, he has a gtx 570 he getting from a friend already and he's planning on building around that.

Not sure where you get the idea that there's going to be price cuts in June. Intel doesn't do price cuts when a new generation of CPUs are released and price cuts on GPU don't happen over night. DDR3 pricing is also steadily going up.

Not advocating leaving an SSD out of a 2k+ build, but there are actually uses for more than 8GB of ram when it comes to gaming. Lately I've been playing POE which has timed race events (highest level in a set amount of time) and extremely long load times. I've taken to setting 4GB of ram as a ram disk and loading POE into it because it saves a few extra seconds every load screen compared to my SSD. Also anyone who multiboxes at any kind of level knows how easy it is to cap out 8GB with a few clients open + webbrowser.

What is your budget?

2,000-2,500

What is your resolution?

Dont have monitors yet I would like dual monitors a small one for gaming and maybe a bigger one for photo/video editing I don't know what resolution would be good for gaming or editing but I imagine it would be different for both?

What are you using it for?

Gaming Photo/Video Editing for now

What is your upgrade cycle?

I'll be upgrading the computer as needed

When do you plan on building it?

In tow weeks I might wait for the new intel chips depending on the advice I get from you guys.

Do you plan on overclocking?

This is my first build if it is convenient, then yest

Do you need an Operating System?

Yes

Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire?

Not sure whatever is best for the build and more cost efficient

Where are you buying your parts from?
States or Europe Italy to be more Specific I'm stationed there but can get parts sent to the states and then mailed to me.

other things I might note the only thing I have so far is the case for my build

http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001891

nothing else so please help me with all the parts power supply SSD motherboard and anything else you guys can help me with thanks PM me for any questions
I appreciate the help

Should be pretty decent for both. There are a few decent reviews on it:
http://www.prad.de/new/monitore/test/2013/test-viewsonic-vp2770-led.html
http://www.tftcentral.co.uk/reviews/viewsonic_vp2770-led.htm

Factory color calibration is good, though if what you're doing is very critical you probably are or should be calibrating yourself anyway. It's slower than a TN and has pretty good but not the lowest input lag, which could bother some people.

Some people might really like how the antiglare is relatively light, how the backlight is non-PWM, etc., but you may or may not care. Anyway, should be one of the better standard gamut 2560x1440 monitors out there.

Would you recommend the size for SC2

I am trying to connect my PC to my TV, with my monitor attached already, but it's not working. I have a Intel Z77 motherboard and when I hook up the HDMI cable (which works) it doesn't detect it. Can anyone help? Thanks

Nope. I can set up the TV from my Graphics card HDMI, but I want to be able to extend the display. My motherboard HDMI is not being detected.

Do you have your motherboard's integrated graphics enabled in the BIOS? Usually, default settings are for the integrated graphics getting automatically disabled if a graphics card is detected.

I just checked and I couldn't find anything that said integrated graphics.

You can check in Windows in the Device Manager. It should look like this, both your graphics card and the integrated graphics running: http://i.imgur.com/iL51aja.png

Can I use my HD radeon 7200 and z77 at the same time? Or is this not even possible to do right now. Basically I want to hook up my TV to my Motherboard HDMI while using my Radeon 7200 for my PC.

Make sure to go into the part of the BIOS that looks old school, press Escape if you are on that flashy 3D view. Go to one of the latter pages that has a lot of stuff about USB and whatnot. The integrated graphics should be among those options. Select the integrated graphics setting and press Enter and look at the options. "Auto" will mean what I described: the normal graphics card gets detected and the integrated disabled. You have to look for an option that says "Enabled" or something. The options for graphics memory will turn on. Leave those on their defaults.

Is this (Silverstone ST45SF 450W) power supply good/worth buying? I'm possibly looking for something that would fit in a case like the fractal design node 304. I would want to have a longer GPU though, so normal 160mm modular doesn't work. I know there are better PSUs for less at a normal size, but for SFX, is this the best I can do?

Also, would this be able to power something like a 4570K + a 760? I assume yes? If it was in a Node 304, cooling would probably be reasonably adequate right? I'm not looking to break any records with overclocking. I'd probably pick up a Noctua NH-U12S when it's available)

(Edit: I may or may not go with a build this small... just trying to figure everything out in case I do. Essentially putting together a big and small.)
