$1800 gaming rig

[Sherman242]

Title says it all, looking for $1800 rig that includes everything, Kb/M, monitor, OS,speakers and wireless.

Would like an upgradable rig (mainly dual graphics card (crossfire/sli etc.)), so psu should be a good one, as well as a green/black themed full/mid tower pc.

There is a reason why it is costly for now.

Only Z87 can do SLI in x8 x8 config.

Crossfire can do across all board but only selected z87 allows x8 x8 config. The rest is only x8 x4 config. This will result in the 2nd card reduce in performance.

You will need a bigger PSU to support 2 gpus. Buy small power now got to buy a bigger one again in the long run. Which will incur double the cost.

Lastly the cooler to go with the oc cpu.

Don't bother with trying to make your rig "xFire/SLI capable in the future" lah...waste $$$ only. By the time you wanna add 2nd GPU, you're better off running a newer-gen single GPU

 

[royfrosty]

Yes not unless you are keen on getting your xfire or SLI within 2-3 months time. Else you would totally forget about it and could not be bothered.

 

[Sherman242]

ohh...

In that case can just ask what I can get in my budget?
Basically a 1.8k rig with everything
