Why a 660 when 770's are the same price and better?
660's are $200... 770's are $400. They have never been in the same price tier.

Next week the same configuration might be a bit more expensive. Continuing on the theme, us.ncix.com has a pretty good deal for a Benq xl2420t monitor right now @ $300. The xl2420t is a 24" 1920x1080 120hz monitor (w/o speakers if I remember correctly). Alternatively you could go for one of the best 1920x1080 60hz options: the ASUS mx239h @ $228. A 23" 1920x1080 IPS monitor (w/speakers), the mx239h is going to have an excellent display but isn't capable of 120hz. Then again, if you were planning on getting a bigger, seriously expensive monitor later (not sure what you meant by considering adding a second monitor in the future) or just didn't want to spend as much money, you can still get a high-quality screen an a BenQ gw2450hm $160. A 24" 1920x1080 A-MVA (similar to IPS in that it's better than your average cheap TN monitor) 60hz monitor w/speakers. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=66305&vpn=XL2420T&manufacture=BenQ&promoid=1311 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236310 http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=69380&vpn=GW2450HM&manufacture=BenQ&promoid=1311 Totals: w/BenQ xl2420t: $1450 (no speakers in this build) w/ASUS mx239h: $1380 (speakers in monitor) w/BenQ gw2450hm: $1310 (speakers in monitor) The processor is basically as good as it gets for gaming. I selected the overclocking version (with associated motherboard & CPU cooler), so you can get the extra performance if you want to put in the time to do so (basically $100 extra cost). Because of your budget I've chosen fairly high quality components (you could go cheaper with a bit less luxury but no real loss in basic functionality). You could get a stronger video card (a 7970 should be $350), but a 7950 is already quite high-end and I wanted to make sure you had room for quality monitor & speakers. The only reason I see you might want to go over your budget is to fit in a 27" 2560x1440 monitor, but for that you'd have to go over by more than a little bit. what's a good 27" 2560x1440 monitor for this? can I swap the 7950 with a gtx 760 instead? | ||

 ) I checked the price of having them put it together for me vs buying all parts separate, and the price difference is negligible. not to mention they give 3 years waranty on the computer as a whole, so if something is wrong they can figure out what it is and how to fix it.) Anyway as I said its customizeable, so ill post the parts I am going for here, with potential alternatives and the price difference in spoilers. Budget is flexible, Resolution is 1920x1080 Going to run 2 screens using DVI cables (Not sure about screens, I am considering going BenQ 24" LED GL2460? And odds are I will also have 1 tv 30-40" hooked up to the computer with HDMI, for watching movies\playing gamepad games etc Using it for gaming, potentially video encoding\photoshop etc, might also decide to try out streaming. Anyway on to the parts. The prices are how much more they cost than the original part, and they are in NOK (1 USD = about 6 NOK.) My budget is flexible in the sense that I could theoretically go for all the most expensive parts suggested here at least, but obviously if i can get pretty much same performance for cheaper thats better.

Check one of the "Korean" options (Catleap, Qnix, etc., or better: from Microcenter, Monoprice, Overlord to get better warranty coverage) to get closer to $1500 total. See the monitor thread. You could downgrade a bit, but if you're serious about high res, even HD 7950 may be a bit on the low end to handle many games. It takes a lot more to run games at 1440p than 1080p. For the 1080p options, GTX 660 sure.

DVI-D is digital only and DVI-I is analog and digital. It doesn't matter as long as both your monitors are DVI. If you still have a VGA monitor then you'll need to use the adapter on the DVI-I port and use the newer monitor with DVI on the DVI-D port. 500w is more than enough. 4670k is for overclocking so if you want to overclock than get a 4670k and a Z87 motherboard. Otherwise just stick with 4670 and B85. | ||

I was looking for something similar but i dont know where to order, or start to look for as my google searches have not lead me the right away.

Im not SkyR, but I can tell you what he told me. #1 If you're going to overclock CPU and MoBo, then you should take i5-4670k and Z87. #2 If you dont have time/wish/etc to overclock, then they're a waste of money. Then take i5-4670 and B87 or H87 MoBo. I personally dont have an overclocking experience. And still bought i5-4670k and Z87x-B3H. There will be stable benchmarks as I decide to overclock them both to squeeze the very last of the performance.  Good luck. | ||

Im talking about like a with a custom design on the sidepanels, something along the lines of what Husky got to his computer. For those who don't know what im talking about here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d105E2sijd4 just skip to 1:11 and it shows how he has custom panels and the basic layout of his case. I was looking for something similar but i dont know where to order, or start to look for as my google searches have not lead me the right away. I would appreciate if anyone can point me in the right direction. Just contact a PC modding shop like MountainMods. Custom cases cost upwards of $1000 or more just so you know... | ||

I think people who do that usually want to strip and repaint the thing, but that's a lot more involved and usually involves taking your pieces to some kind of place that does paint stripping (and the price will start adding up). I'm pretty confident there are a lot of guides out there for just adding plexi to a sidepanel. | ||
