Im new to PC building and have gone over a lot of different options on what my needs are. I decided to settle around the 2.5-3k range price wise. Does anyone have any opinions about this build?

damn, nice. I currently have dual 660s.

 

don't get water cooling, it's fake.

What you have there is a solid build, I can only make few adjustments for myself. I would personally go for the Asus Maximus VI Extreme motherboard, but it's just a personal preference. What you have there is also good. You can also upgrade that CPU for I7 4770K, which is better at-least on paper. 

 

Edit: I don't understand how you have so much to spend for a build like this. You do drugs?

My past 3 jobs have been government so no lol. No drugs for me ^^

Tyvm. I wanted to make sure I have enough cpu for my needs. I wanted to be able to run multiple java scripts at the same time. ect.

I would get two 1TB WD blacks and stick them in RAID0

im building my own, but its a very dumbed down build compared to you, 7950, i5 4670k probably going to get 8 more gbs of ram to start a massive farm tho :P depends on how well my test month goes

Osbot is more of a CPU hog than ram, 6 bots use under 3GB ram

Speaking of, How many bots do you think I can run with my new build? Average

With your build, you should be able to run 15-20 bots fairly decent frame rate.

Very nice, Better than I expected. I'm not sure what if anything I would change on this build. Only thing extra I would do is add lighting and such, few misc things.

 

Very solid build, some information has been mentioned in this thread which is wrong however such as water cooling being fake LOL.

 

I usually try and mention an improvement but I really can't fault this build! I'd throw in some Nanoxia deep silence case fans they are very cheap and are very quiet whilst maintaining the best airflow possible! 

It's a good build I guess but it's inefficient. 

 

Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 650D - great case
Power Supply: 850W CORSAIR AX850 - get a modular variant if you want it to look nicer in your case + seasonic are better but cost more + probably more wattage than you need too
Motherboard: ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 I'm p sure this is a great mobo, cba checking
CPU: INTEL CORE I7-3770k - good solid cpu
CPU Cooler: CORSAIR H 100I - great cpu cooler
Memory: 16GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM -probably more ram than you need but nice
SSD: 128GB SAMSUNG 840 PRO SERIES why not go for a bigger ssd if you can afford it? but great ssd regardless - intel have some new overclockable ssds coming out within the next 2 years though = 20%-30% performance boost.
Hard Drive: 2TB WESTERN DIGITAL CAVIAR BLACK go for the blue edition, better reliability personally i ordered a 1tb black edition too but i realized I should've went for the blue.
Graphics Card: 2X MSI GEFORCE GTX 680 powerful but energy hungry, for a cheaper price similar performance, quiet, cooler sli (bit better performance) get dual 770s or just go for a single 690 or titan (less power but lower power consumption, quieter, cooler etc, I doubt you really need an sli with your budget lol, even a single 780 suits pretty much every consumers needs)
Optical Drive: LG BLU-RAY BURNER - blurays up to you
Operating System: WINDOWS 8 - win 8 is nice

This is almost identical to a computer I just built and am currently using. The only difference is I have a 660 ti and you have a better hard drive. I went with a 4770k processor as well

I choose the graphics and other variants  because I wanted to have plenty of breathing room. I'm tired of having crappy walmart computers and I honestly don't care to have issues as far as performance. I'm a huge gamer and I don't want to be limited to my PC. Thus I wanted to get the best I could, all being compatible of course, within a reasonable price (not getting into the 5k+ range) or overpaying for some alienware computer.

 

I am most likely going to be using 2-3 of the ASUS monitors I mentioned in the post and I want my graphics card to be able to handle that, As far as the power goes, I wanted enough wattage to overclock what I wanted to and as you can tell a lot of things are based on cooling, with heat shields, and other things related like the RAM, Mobo, ect. I've looked at a lot of builds and this one seem to fit me all together.

 

As far as the SSD goes I do plan on upgrading in the future, But ofcourse I'm not "Made of money" I'm aware that it is an expensive build but I do plan on cutting back on upgrades until its completed.

 

Otherwise thank you for the input, like I mentioned I am new to PC building and I do appreciate your input and would love more if you or anyone else has opinions
