X79 Build! Ideas? Opinions? Build Log to follow.

Okay OCN it's that time! I sold my rig a while back and hated it, but it had to be done. So now, I'm back with a killer budget. (Roughly $2,500) This will not only serve it's purpose as a gaming rig, but as well as something that my girlfriend can do school work on, browse, etc.. Now my original budget was $600, but after months of "arguments" and serious convincing that it's totally worth spending $2,500 on a rig, here I am. The ONLY catch (which some of you may be very familiar with) was that it HAD TO LAST and I couldn't spend anymore money on it for the next 2 years. I could agree with that, and so, here we are!

What I've got so far..

Motherboard - EVGA X79 FTW ASRock Extreme6/GB EVGA X79 FTW
Processor - Intel 3930K
RAM - Patriot Viper 3 16GB 2133 (Quad)
GPU #1 - MSI GTX670 2GB EVGA GTX670 2GB
GPU #2 - MSI GTX670 2GB EVGA GTX670 2GB
SSD - 256GB Samsung 830
HDD - Samsung Spinpoint F3 Holding off on the extra storage for now. Better PSU.
Case - Corsair 600T (Will the FTW fit? ) NZXT Phantom
PSU - Corsair HX750 SeaSonic X850 SeaSonic X-1250
Cooler - H100 (This will change, but has to be for now.)
Keyboard - CM Quick Fire Rapid (MX Blues)
Mouse - Logitech G300
Monitor - Dell U2412M (Already own, only thing I didn't sell. AG Removed )

I haven't been keeping up with today's tech as much as I used too. Nor have I been active here on our beloved OCN, and as always, I want my fellow tech brothers and sisters to give me some feedback! Also anything and everything positive on how this build will last a long time, is awesome, etc. is MUCH appreciated because I will show my girlfriend this thread! xD

I'm 200% open to suggestions, changes, and opinions. So please feel free to speak your mind! I personally love the build, I think it's going to be awesome because I've never really bought "new" tech.

I will be ordering Monday or Tuesday. What I've listed about is about $2,360 after coupons, promo codes, shipping, etc.. A build log will follow after I've received everything even though it's not much, or much to actually building, I've never done one and I'll do it this time because it's the last one for a LONG time.

Cheers!

A solid 750w should handle that setup.

Also, this is not just going to be used for gaming. This machine will have other purposes as well. Rendering, photo editing, etc.. And a 1200w PSU is complete overkill.... Yeah, maybe if you had a Quad GPU setup you would need a 1200w but I think I'll be good. Not to mention I'm not going to spend the extra cash on 680's when I can OC these 670's

Also, changed out the motherboard for a ASRock Extreme6. Didn't really like the warranty Newegg was giving with the FTW board so I swapped it out.

Well the MSI cards are $369.99 a pop with a 10% off promo so I got a total of $74 knocked off for just those alone. But I'll definitely look into the new phantoms, didn't even know they released a new one? Thanks!

I'll take a look into it. However, I won't be overclocking too much seeing as I've only got a H100 to work with atm. Also, since I'm not going to be the only one using this rig, I don't really want to have it all screaming like a eagle.

I went ahead and snagged a 850w, but don't really think I'll be using it or getting close to using it. Thanks for your input though!

Ordering tomorrow for sure. So here's my final list, pretty confident that this will last, and I'll be getting another 670 around income tax time.. xD

Motherboard - EVGA X79 FTW
Processor - Intel 3930K
RAM - Patriot Viper 3 16GB 2133 4GBx4
GPU #1 - EVGA GTX670 2GB
GPU #2 - EVGA GTX670 2GB
SSD - 256GB Samsung 830
Case - NZXT Phantom
PSU - SeaSonic X-1250
Cooler - H100
Keyboard - CM Quick Fire Rapid (MX Blues)
Mouse - Logitech G300
Monitor - Dell U2412M (Already own, only thing I didn't sell.

What's changed:

- GPU's swapped over from MSI to EVGA due to warranty purposes. Really don't want any issues, know for a fact won't have any with them.
- Motherboard back to EVGA from the Extreme6.
- Took out HDD.
- Changed over to the Phantom.
- Went up to a 1250w.

I'm stoked. Lol.
