Unless you absolutely are stuck to using Socket 2011, I'd strongly reconsider. It is faster than a Socket 1155/Z77 chipset combo, however, it runs very hot (130W versus about 77W). The performance gains are there, but not for the price premium you pay for the chip alone, not to mention the motherboard. Another issue is the RAM situation. The RAM itself is fine, but a key difference between Socket 2011 and 1155 chips is that 2011 uses a quad-channel memory set up compared to the standard dual-channel configuration with 1155. You can go with what you have, but you won't get the most out of the system unless you have 4 sticks, you can get around this by moving to a 4x4GB kit instead of the 2x8GB kit you currently have listed. A Socket 1155 i7-3770K is a quad core and offers nearly the performance 3820 does. That motherboard can be replaced with a well-stocked Z77 board for as much as 1/2 the price. If you don't mind loosing a negligible amount of performance, you can save a lot of money leaving Socket 2011.

Everything else is fine and will definitely serve you well, it's just that, for the price of the 2011 CPU/Motherboard, you're simply not getting a significant boost for a premium product. I believe that a Z77 motherboard offers Crossfire capabilities. The power supply is a good choice. Thermaltake used to be crap, so if anybody tells you to avoid them because they produce a terrible product, they haven't kept up with the times. For kicks, you might look at equivalents from Corsair, Antec, or Kingwin's Lazer line up, mostly to see if you can find one of those for a better price. [H]ard OCP has reviewed the Kingwin Lazer units in the past and they've been a little cheaper than the competition and have performed very well in testing.

Again, the CPU/Motherboard thing, but I don't see anything that says this build, with or without changes would disappoint.

I think you got angry. I did not mean that which you understood. I meant that you bought a so much costly and latest computer just for playing games..!! While changing your computer to 1155 and 3370k will make your PC best.

its a pc u cant only play games

what do you say to people who buy PS3 or XBOX you buying a consle just for games? :confused:

[Shlomi]

in order to max your pc you need to run games if you can run games that mean your PC can run anything else

and this is me even tho i dont play alot of games i want to buy the best PC even tho i dont need... its something with being Human

Nice build! Yup that PSU should do the trick. For the CPU Cooler, have you considered a Corsair H80, H80i or H100, H100i? And what about Ducky Keyboards and Corsair's Mechanical Keyboards? :D I found a similar build like yours from Logical Increments, share your build ideas.
