Hey Overclockers, :)

Its my first time building a Gaming Pc and here's the parts that i have in mind so far. I'm willing to spend between £1000 - £1500, and i need your gaming build expertise and advice to point out the parts or recommend a better hardware for my First Gaming Build.

Many Thanks :)

Motherboard: Asus z77 Sabertooth 1155
CPU: Intel i7-3770k
Ram/Memory: 16gb Corsair Vengeance 240-pin DDR3
Graphic Card: EVGA GTX 680 FTW 4gb Graphic card
PSU: Corsair HX850 Professional Series gold
Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D
Watercooling: Corsair H100i
Fans: Noctua NF-F12PWM
SSD: Crucial 256gb SSD
Hardrive: Seagate 3tb 72000RPM 64mb cache SATA3

I would be grateful if you guys could give me some helpful feedback. Thank you!
 
Yes i want to run a three way monitor in the future.. im just wondering if the gtx680 is really worth it for the price.. or should i just go for a 660ti SLI for better performance? Im still new to this gathering components.. is the h110 better thn h100i? I chose the h100i because i like the reviews done by linux on noctua fan.

Go for a 7870 3GB card which are around the £320 mark and you can add a second later on easily enough.

The H110 is a bit cheaper than a H100i but has a larger surface area as the radiator is a 280mm version, it will fit the 650D case.
 
There are people on here far more qualified than me to suggest a full system build for you but I have just received an OC built system for the first time as I have always built my own systems so I though I would let OC decide what to use and selected a pre built ( with a few changes ) Ltd edition gaming system.
it came with the

Sapphire HD 7970 OC BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with Crysis 3 & Bioshock PC Games

Cooler Master HAF X Gaming Tower Case - Black (RC-942)

and these are amazing bits of kit if you have room for a full tower then I would get one as it allows you so much future component flexibility and the HAF X is a very impressive case.

good luck with the build as customer service from these guys is second to none IMO
