Ok guys, i am a little out of touch with the latest and greatest in the scene for Desktop Gaming as BGA laptop / console work is killing me. So i am here for a new PC Build advice.
My old rig has started Killing HDD's badly. 6 Gone in under 4 months so i think an upgrade is needed.
Parts i dont need are :
Monitor : Using my Two TV's. 1 40 for Solo, 1 60 for Heavy MP / Intense action - 3D wuld be nice since that is 3d and F1 looks immense in 3d.
Mouse : Using a Razer Naga.
: i7 CPU? Or AMD Piledriver? I am thinking to stick with an intel based for a Triple boot option i usually use.
: RAM is cheap atm, But is 32gb a waste or can i get this into the budget?
: Motherboard with UEFI the 'norm' these days?
: Dual SLI / Triple GFX ( Nvidia as i am an Nvidia Fanboy ) 3D output?
: 1x SSD just for Windows and Game / Photoshop installs. Extra HDD space is a must though. for my 'data' as over the years i have accumulated a shocking amount of data. So 4TB+ is needed.
: Case i am unsure of going into the 'cube' design or stick with a nice large case.
: Sound Card with SPDIF output.
: 1200W PSU? Or is that overkill?
: BDBurner
: Onboard wifi? Or do we think standalone wifi is better from a dedicated card?
: Haven't watercooled before but would LOVE to get into it. But should i grab a Zalman Fanned CPU Cooler?
: Good cable management system. Colour coded to match the Case / LED Fans
: Keyboard - Razer Mechanical would be LUSH. But green to match my NAGA LED's.
Yes i have high hopes, and YES i know what i want. It's if i CAN get what i want that is the main issue here lol
Don't think i am missing anything. Primarily used for gaming / Photoshop.
What ideas do we have. Getting fed up of using the missus's laptop so would like to get this going as quick as possible. Preferably paid before the weekend.

but personally I would use a power line adapter as these are much much reliable then the signal on Wi-Fi.
that is one seriously tasty spec!
