Gaming Rig Help...$3000 Budget!

[Zack102795Zack]

I want to build a gaming rig and i have a 3000 dollar budget. This will be my first build and i want to make it sort of future proof. If you guys could give me any suggestions on these specs it would be great! Your knowledge is very much appreciated. I plan on just running my two ssds in RAID 0 also.

gaming, you will see little difference between the 3770k and the 3570k, so go for the 3570k.

you should be able to get a GTX 670 cheaper than the GTX 580 your looking at. That will net better performance.

Coolermaster is not the best company to get a PSU from. Go for a Corsair 800 watt if you are going to SLI or if you just want one graphics card, then a CX600 will be great.
