£3000 Gaming rig

[jonnytruckfest]

As the titles states, I've managed to bag myself a new job starting today with a very well paid salary! So the plan is to purchase myself a new computer to replace the PCS computer I've just sold to my brother due to needing money thanks to having no job So Any replies welcome! I'll be getting it on finance starting next month after my work trial. I'm looking to spend around £3000+ Which I'm looking to add 2 AOC 21.5 inch monitors as I still have one left as I only sold 2 monitors to my bro. And must include a keyboard & mouse. Intel/AMD I'm not fussed either or

All replies welcome.

Kindest Regards!!

This is the config I've modified from your spec, I've added another 780 but I'm not too sure what the performance is compared to the 770 as I was debating against 2 780's vs 3 770's. As I've seen videos that say the 770 offers similar performance to the 680's so I'm unsure.

Cheers

I wouldn't suggest tri-sli due to possible heat issues and the diminishing returns from the 3rd gpu. 2x gtx 770 will be a good choice, you got a lot of HDDs

 

[jonnytruckfest]

Indeed, I need the space for photos and for videos also for when it comes to modding my games. Also how good is the triple copper heatpipe cooler compared with the corsair hydro systems? As on my last computer I had the cool IT liquid cooler which did an amazing job at keeping the computer cool. Just wondering how much difference under pressure the coolers would do.

Cheers

If you're not overclocking the copper heatpipe will do just fine.
