Hi forum,

I'm currently considering building a new desktop. My budget is around 3000 euro's.. I have been saving up quite some time now and I'm wondering if anyone could tell me if this is any good or what I could improve:

Intel Core i7-3930K/3.2GHz 12MB LGA2011

Asus RAMPAGE IV EXTREME ATX

DDR3, 1600MHz 32GB 4x240 DIMM, Unbuffered 0-27, DOMINATOR with DHX+, supports int

Corsair professional gold AX850 850W

OCZ HI 2.5'' SSD Vertex 4 Series 256 GB

Seagate 3.5'' 2TB barracuda 7200RPM x 2

Asus GeForce GTX670 2gb DDR5 GTX670-2GD5 x 2

Scythe Mugen 3 rev. B CPU cooler

It sounds quite solid to me, but not quite sure about the motherboard yet.. Any suggestions?

And since it is quite some money I would like to know if it's worth it? Right now I use a hp pavilion dv6 laptop and I wonder how long the desktop I'm building would stay really good.. I don't want to replace it within 4-5 years!

Thanks allready,

This will play any game with great fps. I included a monitor because it would fit.

Thanks a lot! A friend of mine kept going on about a 3d screen, but I recon that's no good for my eyes.. Is is there a way to compare the desktop you put on and the one I thought of?

3000 euroes? lol

Why don't you downgrade your CPU/HDD a bit and spend more on dual gtx 680s instead? Or a single gtx 690?
