Hello Pc Specialist Community and thank you for checking this thread out. Ok so I'm after a new pc that will play present and future game releases(to a certain content ofc). Intel CPU since ive had far too many issues with amd I'm not an ati amd supporter :). SSD I think is a must since playing mmo's and the speed of the hardrive will help to load texters alot faster and hopefully increase my fps(HOPEFULLY!). Question for me with graphics cards is x2 670 nvidia gtx's now or 1 680 and save up a little for another 680 sli setup. One of my main concern is psu's since they have a habbit of randomly braking down I use my pc around 12 hrs a day for work/gaming.

Case
COOLERMASTER CM690 MKII ADVANCED CASE
I'm after a case with good cooling but not really loud randomly picked this..
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i7 Quad Core Processor i7-3820 (3.6GHz) 10MB Cache
Affordable and very nice 3.6ghz not planning on OCing at all.
Motherboard
ASUS® P9X79 PRO: INTEL® SOCKET LG2011
For Sli
Memory (RAM)
16GB KINGSTON HYPERX GENESIS QUAD-DDR3 1600MHz X.M.P(4 x 4GB KIT)
Overkill why not :)?
Graphics Card
2GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 680 - 2 DVI, HDMI, DP - 3D Vision Ready
Split between this 1 and x2 gtx 670's but bare in mind if I get a 680 i'll be buying another a few weeks later.
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
120GB INTEL® 330 SERIES SSD, SATA 6 Gb/s (upto 500MB/sR | 450MB/sW)
Operating system and WoW but dunno if 120 gb is big enough.
2nd Hard Disk
1TB WD CAVIAR BLACK WD1002FAEX, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64MB CACHE (7200rpm)
Games and storage.
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM

For Sli seems configer only requires around 850.

Not OCing so don't see need for water cooling but for the ammount of hours im gunna use pc it may be needed?

Hi,
For photoshop the i7-3770 should perform better than the i7-3820, I'd go with a single gtx 670 and add a 2nd one when needed. If you are gaming in 1 screen the GTX 670 SLI may be overkill and the gtx 670 offers close performance to the gtx 680 and it is cheaper. I got a corsair psu as well and I keep my computer on for around 12 hours, never experienced an issue.

I am sure a single GTX 670 will manage that as well, Corfate got a GTX 670 with 2 monitors, he can max most games at ultra/high settings.
