Going to buy/build a $3000 PC... HELP!

nais I built my $1200 gaming rig just a couple months ago

with a $3000 budget I can only imagine what that beast will look like

EDIT: also, always build,never buy pre-made

SPECS:
i7 5820k @4Ghz
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB
MSI X99S SLI Plus
G.SKILL 8GB DDR4 2400
CORSAIR H100i
1TB 7200 RPM / SSD 240GB / SSD 120GB
Rosewill 650W Modular Power Supply, 80 PLUS Bronze Certified
Thermaltake Chaser Series Chaser MK-I

One tool that will be invaluable is pcpartpicker.com. It helps you find the best price on every part, and keeps track of compatibility for you. There are even places where people share their pcpartpicker builds.

Make sure you have a good internet connection, lol :D.

If you are streaming over wi-fi, you will want a dual-band wireless card/adapter, and a dual-band router.

It is waste of money. All you need is just 1500...

Using more than two graphics cards is still pointless right now, so plan to use two, or get one crazy one. You'll have to measure the cost/benefit. Either way, you'll need a great PSU. I recommend at least a 80Plus Gold (I would go Platinum, though), 1000W or greater.

Try to look for a motherboard that supports two x16 slots simultaneously--that is, most motherboards when in dual-mode SLI/Crossfire, at best have one slot run at x16, and the other at x8. There are a few mobos that allow you run both at x16, but you got to look for them. My board, Gigabyte GA-Z97X-Gaming GT does dual x16, for example.

My rig can play all of that and it was only around $900 altogether, really

Like others said.

Spend 1500. You can then upgrade whenever you want with the 1500 saved. :p

Also, is it just me or are the games he mentioned aren't very high-spec. :V

Learn about the performance difference between CAS latencies and RAM speed. Lower latency is better, but it tends to increase with faster RAM. It's a balancing act. My build won't be as cool as yours, but I went with DDR3 1600 (typical, not-overclocked speed) with a low latency.

Also, get a dual- or quad-channel kit to help ensure smooth performance.

A very common misconception is that you need a LOT of money to play PC games. You dont. Even high end rigs that play very demanding games can be built for under 2k.

Unless you have a very specific extra requirement above simply gaming at 60FPS, you wont need more than half of that.

Are you planning on using a 4k monitor? Need 120FPS+? Compact form factor? Silent operation/liquid cooling? None of the above? Ya, 800-1300 would be plenty. Could probably cut it down to 6-700 if you buy used parts too!

With that kind of money, I assume you'll be tempted to overclock. Either plan for it, or plan not to. It's not like adding another graphics card later.

PPG113 brings up some good points. Here's some thoughts:

If your emphasis is on streaming, you won't need a 4k monitor. You'll be streaming in 1080p at most, and the less your PC has to do, the easier it is to output the stream.

You will want to maximize your FPS. This means fast processing on all fronts (especially if you use green-screening, showing yourself as you play)--not just CPU and GPU, but also RAM, and SSDs.

You will need silent operation if you want to send noise-free audio. I can't help much there.

Speaking of audio, you might want to get educated about quality microphones and headsets. This will also bring up the issue of whether or not you want a dedicated sound card, or rely on the motherboard's audio chipset (it will probably be just fine, but you need to consider connections).

Titan card, all other parts high end limit too, Big case fitting the Beast & Watercooling not to forget :D

...and voilà: You should be able to burn 3000 bucks easily \o/

with that much money you really doing need help, lol

i built mine, like 2 years ago for like $800 tops and its still going strong. No idea what could you build with x3.5 that much though, maybe buy 20x g3258 processors and try to make it run at 5ghz. or stuff like that, one is bound to work !! or maybe not , idk (:

With that money i will pay my current debts

That kind of money would be needed only if you run it also as a high-capacity server and home theatre with NAS up the butt and projector as a fourth display.

Just make giveaways for these money, which is much better than new PC

Add to this bulid decent mic + Monitor and you are ready :)
