The Low Key OG
still the same OG, but I've been low key
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Finally got the money to upgrade from my AMD build. Here's what I have so far, I'm only waiting on the case and parts for watercooling:

Mobo: Asus Sabertooth Z77
Case: Danger Den Tower 26 - UV Green
CPU: Intel i7 - 3770 LGA1155
HDSad Awesome Seagate 1.5 TB (internal)
HDSad Awesome Seagate 1 TB (external)
SSSad Awesome OCZ Agility 3 120GB (SATA III)
RAM: 8 GB DDR3 (will upgrade to 16 GB when I get the money)
GFX: XFX Radeon HD 6870 (will upgrade to a 7970 when I get the money or the price is reduced)
PSU: Thermaltake 750w

What do you guys think?

I was giving him my opinion, watercooled ram i quite extreme, and GPU watercooling is common, i fiqured by custom watercooled i thought he meant a 1 240rad or 360rad on the top of his case, the real preformance is when when you have multiple rads and etc

the 680 isn't really impressive and most people don't heavily overclock gpu and many gamers want to build a pc and go right to gaming

Yes it is, and many doesn't mean everybody Winky Winky

I also am looking into custom watercooling, I think it is totally worth it.

i meant dollar to preformance and and i believe that 560ti and to 6950 or 2 7850 have greater preformance, and for watercooling i meant by a single rad setup with multi loops

Since the 7850 is the most powerful of those three cards I'll use that.
Two 7850s cost 450 we'll say. One 680 cost around 470.

It delivers the same performance really fps wise. However when taking the temperatures, and load power into effect the 680 pulls ahead as it is lower in both of them. And then the fact that a lot of games don't support crossfire/sli at day one and often have to wait a while for the driver updates to be released for the user to use both cards.

I think single cards are the much better option, you have to consider a lot more things other than just the fps.
