Is this a good setup???

THANKYOU for the replys. im sorry i left out the graphics card. i was looking at a V261-7970 ::P450-7976 ::XFX Radeon HD 7970 FX797ATDFC Video Card - 3GB, DDR5, 1x Dual-link DVI-I, 2x mini DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, DirectX 11, CrossFire Ready, HD4K Support(3.45 lbs) and i would be doing multimonitor gaming across al screens. Could some one post a list of everything that would be good together? would be much appreciated, like i said im new to computer building and specs.

I would do 7950 Crossfire, as multi monitor gaming is very taxing, especially with new games like crysis 3. And if you cant afford that, get a evga GTX 670.
 
Ok i also changed a few things. I got this WD black instead of blue as suggested TSD-1000FAEX ::WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB Desktop Hard Drive - 3.5", SATA, 7200RPM, 64MB Cache, 5-year warranty(0.1 lbs) and this motherboard cpu combo M69-0016 ::GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD5H Intel 7 Series Motherboard and Intel Core i7-3770K 3.50 GHz Quad Core Unlocked Bundle(5.6 lbs). Are these good and if there is anything on my list that i could downgrade a little to save money or change please say, and is the power supplay enough to support everything?
 
It is actually way more than enough. And isn't a very good brand. Go with a Corsair HX 750. Don't get that combo, a 3570K and z77 ud3h would be much cheaper and similar too that combo. And like I said, for multi monitor gaming, a 7970 won't do max, or even high settings on many games. If you are really looking to save money, get the Seagate barracuda, it's a very small performance difference over the black.
 
Here is a refined list of stuff. If there is anything i could downgrade that could help the price lower please tell. and also will all of this work together?
CPU:I69-3570K ::Intel Core i5-3570K BX806237i53570K Processor - Quad Core, 6MB L3 Cache, 3.40GHz (3.80GHz Max Turbo), Socket H2 (LGA1155), 77W, Fan, Unlocked, Retail(0.9 lbs)

7970 will do 3 monitors most likely. It is a very strong card and can overclock very well also. that aside, if you are looking at a DD version from XFX, look elsewhere. Your ears will thank you.
 
Will a 7950 do? A455-7954 ::Asus Radeon HD 7950 Video Card - 3GB GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0 (x16), 2x Dual-Link DVI-I, 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, DirectX 11, CrossFireX, Triple-Slot, Dual Fan, (HD7950-DC2-3GD5-V2)(3.95 lbs)
 
IT could, but why not stay with a 7970? They are great cards, just not the XFX DD cards (and that goes for the entire line). They are excessively loud in use.
 
I have also heard the XFX double ds are loud. I would get the gigavyte ud3h, unless you have to have a good looking board. And, yeah, at least stay with a 7970, i would get the msi hawk 7970.
 
How about this one?? YYML-AT-H7970CB ::Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 11197-03-40G Video Card - 3GB GDDR5, PCI-Express 3.0(x16), 1x Dual-Link DVI-D, 1x Dual-Link DVI-I, 1x DisplayPort, 1x HDMI, DirectX 11, CrossfireX, Overclocked(5 lbs)
 
is this a good board? G452-2363 ::GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H Intel 7 Series Motherboard - ATX, Socket H2 (LGA1155), Intel Z77 Express, 1600MHz DDR3, SATA III (6Gb/s), RAID, 8-Ch Audio, Gigabit LAN, USB 3.0, PCIe 3.0, CrossFireX/SLI(3.25 lbs)
 
It is a decent board.

Instead of teh difficult to read way you are doing it now, can you please just link what you are looking at for your build? It makes it a lot easier to aid you.

Please tell if something isnt good enough or if i can spare downgrading something.
 
ok thankyou very much, do you know of anything i could possibly "downgrade" for a cheaper product but still have a good machine
 
Set a target and tell us what you'd like to do with the HDD. Is it for gaming to be stored on, or just your pictures from last chistmas and other files?


If its the later, go for the bigest spinning HDD you can get for your budget.

If its for high use and where speed is wanted, an SSD (say 256GB) would own it.
