Yo guys i was planing to buy a new pc, to build it from scratch. I was planing to get these parts: Intel i7 3930k Asus P9X79 http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_2011/P9X79/ (its not the PRO,Deluxe or WS, its the base version) Asus GTX 590 Kingston 12GB 2000Mhz T1 SSD 128GB 1TB WD 7200 RPM 64Mb 1000W Coolermaster Silent Pro HAF-X and some random 2011 Cooler for the procesor. I don't plan to OC i just want to play high end games on full ultra graphic, so i was needing help on is this PC build good enough? Maybe in near future ill put some SLI or Crossfire. So is the motherboard ok ? Is the combo ok ?
No point of getting 3930k if you don't plan to OC or doing some heavy programming\rendering. Get a 2500k and Z68 board and save 500$. Get a 7970 instead or a pair of 7950.
Well i wont OC it but i will do rendering, so that is why i am aiming at that processor. So if i replace the GTX 590 whit the AMD 7970 it will boost the PC performance ingame ? And whit the current Asus p9x79 motherboard i will have no problems in performance ?
The 7970 is a no brainer. The 590 will put out more heat, use more power and make more noise. You'll get more performance form it but it comes at a cost, besides the 7970 runs basically everything maxed 1080p@60fps.
Dont know about AMD, you are right about the heat of the GTX 590, had 8800GT burnd after 3.5 years of use but it was OC version. I was also thinking about getting one Asus Matrix 580, and then after some time maybe another one for SLI. Is that combo ok ?

Right now the best single card out there is the 7970 and its only $50 more than a 580 gtx. For that price its definitely worth it, plus the crossfire capability of the 7970 is ridiculous, 90% scaling and above for most games. The i7 3930k isn't a good idea either, go with an i7 2600k, for gaming its sad to say but both cpus are the exact same.
Hmmm ill go for the 7970 then. Nvidia failed big time.liberaid
Not exactly; they're to release their next generation of cards later this year. AMD's just early to the party, or Nvidia's late, depending on how you look at it :P
