Build me a warrior pc

So I have heard it over and over again, that if you custom build your own PC, you can save thousands.

Well here I am, I'm about to take a dip into this.

I know a guy who can put all my computer parts together for me, all I need to do is give them the parts....

Can someone list me everysingle part that i need to make a sick badass future proof PC ?

My budget is 3,000 but I would hope for you guys to not use all of that.........

I want this PC to be strong enough to last the next 4 years for gaming..

Do you need monitor, OS, keyboard, mouse and speakers?

Since you had a large budget I put a bit more into the case and gave you some SSDs. This will no-doubt dominate games for quite a while, and you still have an extra $500 to spend on games, gaming accessories, monitors, etc.

Have fun with all the builds coming in, some tough choices definately.

I personally prefer AMD due to better cfx scaling. Also the 7970 is currently the most powerful card we know of, until the GTX 6/780 comes out. If you really hate AMD then save yourself $100 and go with two GTX 580's.

Also feel free to change elements. You could save cash by getting a 2600k or 2500k(not as futureproof though) or getting a different case( I myself like the 600t.)

^ this bug has been around for months now and still not fixed. There are work-arounds but seirously who can be assed.

It's all good, besides the CPU, which is just a clock increase over the 2600K, which isn't much more than a 2500K. Get the i5, and you'll save a significant amount of money. Also, I'd get an AsRock Extreme motherboard, cheaper with similar features. Plus Asus makes the best motherboards, and AsRock is part of Asus. Daanyal

I believe the 2700k is a good choice, mainly because with the included heatsink you can crank it up to 5Ghz easily, making it much more futureproof. Also though I do agree Asus makes the best mobos, I like MSI and their P67A series. Can't go wrong with those crossfire/overclocking features.

Oh and to make a hyper link say

If you're spending that much might as well go on the Enthusiast platform and get a X79 and Sandy Bridge-E

As someone above said, the 2700K is 100 euros more (in his country) for a 100 MHz price increase. Since he has such a high budget, it would be better to get the 2500K and get something like water cooling or a Noctua DH-N14 and overclock to 4.5GHz+.

EDIT: Fair enough about the MSi mobo. But as you said, the Asus motherboards are the best, and if you can afford the best, get the best. (That's may seem hypocritical, seeing my response about the CPU, but there is a distinct difference between cost and worth.

get the cooler master hyper 212 evo(newer version) and the phantom gaming case.... Ur good after that..... As someone pointed out earlier amd have better scaling..... if u are not so sure go with nvidia......... buh if i were u i would wait for some goood reviews on amd 7000 series before getting them. because of the drivers mostly. (happy building)

+1 on this build, everything looks ok except for the cpu, the SSD and 2x radeon 7970. For the CPU, if the man can afford a 3g budget then wait for ivy bridge to come out. SSD he only needs one for now, wait for price to drop later and snag a big one. And finally does he really need 2 of the 7970's? I mean come on already, even one of those will shred most cards SLI'd and or crossfired to pieces, there is no need for 2 at the moment.

I also suggest OP to jump back on the ATI, now known as AMD train, their cards give off less heat and use less electricity than any nvidia cards currently out while still performing on the same or greater level.

You're right on the SSD, though his budget is large and I saw no reason not to include 2 (this is a gaming system after all, a 64GB will barely hold a few games with Windows 7). CPU also agreed, probably should have kept it to a 2600k.

The Graphics cards.... Why not go for two? If you want a futureproof build now you won't have to upgrade much later and you have a $3k budget I see no reason not to have two. One could destroy all other cards, true, but two could destroy all other cards for a year or two to come.

$3000?

with his money I would get 2500k good z68 mobo 2 7970 and watercool the damn thing.
