[XxDeadlyViperxX]

hi everyone new member to the forums but have read some of you threads for the past few months.
Im building a gaming rig for my nephew. nothing fancy but want him to have some power in his rig for max settings.

he mostly plays mmos( lortro,rift, wow, etc) but MB came with AC Black Flag so he might play it want it to look awesome for him

Budget: not an issue i save for what i want.
Main uses of intended build: gaming
Parts required: looking for recommendations on these items
:confused:
cpu: unsure what good enough and not overkill; like the i7 4960x maybe a 4930K is good enough for his needs?

vid card:this is confusing alot of options not sure which is best. hoping for a single card solution gtx 780 titan or ati?

memory: what has been the solid choice and how much is plenty?

build information (list details of parts): parts that i have already
chasis : Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 VN300M1W2N (Black)

MB: Rampage IV BE :cool:

psu: Corsair Professional Series 760 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX760i

sound card:Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Channel PCI-Express Sound Card

Monitor resolution: i would like an awsome monitor for him 27"-30" suggestions?
Storage requirements: havnt purchased these yet so speak up if you have a better suggestions 😄

Samsung Electronics 840 Pro Series 2.5-Inch 256 GB SATA 6GB/s Solid State Drive MZ-7PD256BW
Western Digital 4TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64 MB Cache Bulk/OEM Desktop Hard Drive, Black, WD4003FZEX

Will you be overclocking: no
Extra information about desired system:

RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400

as chino listed, will give you the top of the notch.

PS: chino you forgot the monitor 😛
mabye one with G-sync?

Yep, I'd say Chino's recommendation is pretty much spot on. If you are willing to wait a bit maybe wait for a Matrix Platinum 780Ti or even go for a Titan Black...but they are all pretty similar.

Monitor is tricky....ASUS is launching PB287Q 4K monitor but this resolution would likely need a couple of high end cards to run it...like a couple of Titans...

The ROG Swift PG278Q is upcoming but again when exactly?? it will be a great gaming monitor with GSync technology...

Readily available is the Dell U2713HM....not strictly a gaming panel it is very good and being IPS has better colours etc. for anyone who likes photography and not just games....

For 60fps at 4k, you need dual GTX 780Tis, R9 290xs, or an R9 295x2, or dual TBE.

4k monitors still too spendy for a good one the rog swift at 1440p & 144 hz looks to be a really good choice..
