hey so I'm throwing together a new gaming machine...used to be in computer retail and service but have been out of the game for quite some time now
anyways I'm hoping you guys could take a look at my planned components, and give me your opinion (good bad and ugly)
CPU: I5 4670k(thats the 1150 socket) with corsair Hydro H80i liquid cooling
mobo: ASUS Z87 Sabertooth
RAM: 16(2x8)Gb GSkills Ripjaw 1866
Primary: 120Gb Samsung 840 ssd
Data: 2TB Seagate HDD
GPU: 2xEVGA GTX780 3Gb With ACX cooling
PSU: CoolerMaster V1000 (1000W 80+ gold) modular
CASE: Cooler Master STORM Stryker
(also looking at a BenQ 27" 3d ready monitor...to be eventually expanded to 3 for nvidia surround)
any suggestions and/or comments will be appreciated(note this represents the limit of my budget, so please refrain from suggesting things that push the price higher ex dual titans)
cheers

Not really needed. Cards run cool as it is.

dang, thats a beast system for being "out of the game for a while."  you did some great research! As for the 460, I don't think many games use physx but for that price why not. have fun overclocking that 4770k

well the 460 is a no go, the distance between my 2nd and 3rd PCI-E slots is such that the new card is literally up against the cooler for my second 780 (blocking the fans). Would need to switch to GPU water cooling to be able to do it...oh well, already scoring a solid 13800 on firestrike

Meh, no worries about the 460, your 2 780's are powerful enough to do PhysX and run a game easily. I have a 590 and I run PhysX in any game that has it and I don't lag with that and your 1 780 is a good amount better than my 590 so just imagine how much better your 2 780's are.

Well I'd go for t a GTX 460 for 50 USD any day, great as deddicated PPU for sure, games like Metro: Last Light & Call of Duty: Ghosts aka Modern Warfare 4 will take great advantage of the GTX 780's for the rendering and the 460 is plenty for the PhysX stuff, it may not be of need, but if you can afford it and get some use out of it,, I don't see the problem why not to be honest

I'd go for the 460 now too even if you store it a while until you can fit it on a more spacious motherboard. For 50 USD it's a steal

yeah thanks for the input, i know my 780s are plenty but like some of you said at $50CAD thats a steal, so i got it sitting here until I decide to go liquid GPU cooling or get around to buying a MOBO with MOROOM(its late at night im sorry for that horrid joke)

get the 840 EVO over the regular 840 and do the 250GB its good bit faster than the 120 and def upgrade the cpu if your really getting 2 780s u will need at least a good overclock to not bottlekneck them

if you read down the thread a bit I didnt end up getting the i5 and went with a i7 4770k, should be more than enough...as for the SSD thanks for the input, unfortunately I already have the regular 840, but i will keep the evo in mind for potential upgrade
