So im looking for a gaming build for a budget of 1400-1600 i want the spec to be the best it can be i also like to try games in 3D so if it is good enuff for that all the better.

I do plan on doing some editing / streaming etc on it so needs to be capable of that too.

Dont need Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse/Blu-ray/OS

I just want a monster.

Also id prefer the gfx to be nvidia.

thx.

The 3820 will help with video editing, and provide an upgrade path to ivybridge-E

Used 2 x 670's though you could just use one or go for 1 x GTX 680

Looks ok, you will need to spec a SSD and add a second hard drive.

Are you looking building yourself or get a pre built unit.
 
Not gunna lie id prefer prebuilt because when i built my last pc my cable management was awful and i know that can help with the air flow a lot. and i have a 2tb hardrive in my current pc.

Could that also be due to the case and PSU you used?

The cases above have good cable management holes and the XFX XXX PSU's are semi modular.

Dpeneds what case you have.. Newer cases have a lot of room around th back of the motherboard tray.. This is where you can hide the cable and it won't affect any airflow..

Im no perfectionist and i managed to do it. :)

You can get a lot better value if you build it yourself..

the case has features that make cable management very easy. i have the case and found it simple to cable manage with a non-modular psu so with that semi-modular xfx it should be much easier.
