Greetings

I want to buy a FragBox. This is what I configured. The only thing I have doubts on is the videocard. Should I go for a nVidia Titan instead? I will play at 1080p over HDMI on a TV. I want to play games on highest settings. Thanks for input on anything that can change.

Power Supply
SilverStone® 1000 Watt Modular
Motherboard
Asus® Rampage IV GENE
Processor
Intel® Core i7 4930K 3.4Ghz (6 cores)
+Processor Overlock FragBox
Processor Cooler
Asetek® Liquid Cooling FragBox
Memory
1866MHz 4x8GB (32GB)
Video Card
AMD® Radeon® HD 7970 3GB
Sound Card
OnBoard Audio
Networking
OnBoard Ethernet
Hard Drive
Crucial® M500 SSD 480GB
Optical Drive
SlotLoad Bluray Writer
64Bit Operating System
Microsoft® Windows 8 Standard

And no, I will not build a computer myself. Money is not an issue.

The i7 is a waste for gaming. Save youself some money and get an i5-4670K. It will work just as well. As for the GPU, wait a few more weeks to get the PC. AMD is about to release their new line of GPU's that are faster than the GTX Titian..

Cool. I'll wait for better GPU. Also, is 32GB RAM overkill? Thou I want to be future proof-ed for a couple years.

lol, yeah. I didn't even notice that. 32GB is definitely overkill for gaming. 8GB is enough for several years, but 16GB wouldn't hurt if money is not an issue...

Are you running a mega-factory with that ram? 12 and you are more than covered. GPU is more than adequate for a long time with 1080p resolution in mind.
