New computer for friend. HIGH-END SPECS wArning!

A friend buying a new good computer, I need your advices, AND yes i want a GTX TITAN ! and i knows its expensive and there is other options to choose, but he really want a suuuuper good gfx card.

But I need help with a good motherboard, im thinking gigabyte, asus or msi. :) Help me and tell me what you think.

* Intel® Core i7-3770K Processor
Socket-LGA1155, Quad Core, 3.5GHz, 8MB, 77W, HD4000, Boxed w/fan

* EVGA GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB PhysX CUDA

* Intel® SSD 520 Series 240GB 2.5"

* Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 32GB CL9

* Corsair HX 850W PSU

* ASUS BW-14D1XT, Blu-Ray Writer

Atm the price is 2209,17 euro without a motherboard.

Should i change anything? Otherwise help me with motherboard ! :)

Just buy it, doesn't really make that much of a difference if you got money to spend, they are all good. If budget were something like 400€, then you should do some deeper research. Ofc fanboys gonna fanboy their products.

And why the bluray-burner? Has anyone ever used one?

He will play on a triple monitor with surround and 3D ? If yes the Titan is obviously the best with his 6GB of vRAM. If he will play on a single monitor with 1080p resolution the Titan is a waste of money. Better getting a GTX 680 or even a 670 because when overclocked they are at the same level.

Yes i know, but I might change for a GTX 690, but its alomst same price as a TITAN so will still go for a TITAN. :P

GTX 690 is a dual gpu and the Titan is a single gpu, then of course the Titan is a better choice over the GTX 690.

But like i said, Titan is a waste of money if you play on a single monitor with 1080p resolution. You will use only 2GB of vRAM (Maximum) with all the filter AA and AF.

Go with SLI 680 or triple cause TITAN is not worth the money in my eyes.

Eh, with a budget of what appears to be 2.500$ or more... I'd go for some SSD Raid 0 setup, a GTX 680/690, probably 2 680's in SLI maybe even Quad if I'm feeling funny., G.Skill Trident's, the i7 3770k, hook it up on a liquid cooling system and nuke that fucker into the 5.4 region. Throw it all in a Lian Li case, and enjoy your 50fps in crysis3.

Uh... Yes? a 8gb kit goes for ~200 though, it's completely and absolutely unreasonably overpriced, overkill and useless as you'll never even make full use of them, but if you have money to waste and benchmarks to win, go for it.

If it's high end i'm sure he will use water cooling? If he won't then i can't really call it high end :)

Why the other socket ? instead of the more used Socket-LGA1155 and with Intel® Core i7-3770K Processor ?
Parent

belto 27 Mar 2013, 14:17
Because the next High-End processor will be in the Socket 2011 (Ivy Bridge-E) and the i7-3960X is a 6-Core processor and is better than the i7-3770K. And of course you got more lane x16 for multigpu solution.
