Current PC Build/Goal

Well, this will be my baby soon. I've worked pretty damn hard for this, so I think I should go all out while I can. If you've got any suggestions to add to this build, go ahead and do so!

Also, don't start whining about the cheap case, I love that look and it can hold a 240mm rad in it, so as long as that can fit, I can work with practically anything else. Hope you like it, I can tell you I sure am excited for it!

I could get a better PC what could perform better than, money wasted.
I could get a cheaper one

Actually, that's alright prices for newly-released technology. Even my local store (which does REALLY cheap items) is a lot more pricey than this.

My computer is better than this is nearly every way. The only thing you got me on is the blasted SLI.
I am very jealous, as I cannot crossfire. My 7950 6gb suits be great though <3

If you can afford it, go for the 16gb of ram! Definitely worth it.

Then do it please. I would like to see it so I could consider it if it is good enough. I would appreciate same peripherals, but other than that, I would like to see what you could build.

Jarz - Your build sounds pretty good! A 6gb 7950, I didn't even know they made those... Only thing that I am wondering is why you can't run those in Crossfire? From what I have read, I have seen no problem with running them in Crossfire, unless you have restrictions on your motherboard/power supply/room in your case. On the 16gb of RAM, I've never really seen necessary for it. Is it really worth the extra money? Will it make that much of a difference at all?

For all of you, I would love to know what a good SSD is to fit in this build. Don't want a super expensive one, but I am still open to all suggestions! Thanks!

I think he means 2 7950's 3gb, that's what I have. The video memory doesn't combine y'know... not how it works

You did not read his post thoroughly. Jarz stated that he CAN'T run Crossfire due to different restrictions, and I know that VRAM doesn't combine once in SLI. If you have a 1 gb card and a 2 gb card running in SLI/Crossfire, the 2 cards can only run at 1 gb. It's basically a bottleneck in a scenario like that if you really think about it.

Well, i can crossfire, but not in my budget really.
And I mean to say the 7970 6gb. Apologies.

Just a waste of money, but you can waste your money.
I have a pc 2x better than that and cheaper .
3 screens..... And not a youtuber. No point of getting 3 screens just to play games.
All you want it a 42inch 3D TV to play games.... I know because i have this.

No I think YOU read the post wrong
