I guess PSU is also left and I need UPS as well. I am not planning to get SSD now. I am confused between i5 4570 and i5 4670.

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? Ans: Games - Crysis 3, Assassin's Creed, Mass Effect, Battlefield, etc. Any game that gets launched in next 2-3 years should be playable. Apart from games, I work on Oracle database 11g and...

GTX 680 is out of my budget. So, its between GTX 670 and HD 7970. I am more inclined towards 7970 because of it's 384-bit memory interface and larger VRAM. Only problem with 7970 over GTX 670 being Crossfire is not as much smooth as SLI. I hope that Crossfire matures in next one year so that if...

I guess I will go with single "Sapphire HD7970 OC 2Gb" which hitman4 suggested for now. With "Asus p8 z77 v pro" I will be able to go for Crossfire in future if needed. I am happy with Graphics card, Mobo and Processor which hitman4 suggested. Is Corsair 500r good enough to handle 2 HD7970...

Thanks for highlighting this.. I am going to use only one monitor with 1080p and can't see using multiple displays in future as well. All I want is to have more than 60 FPS on titles such as Crysis 3, GTA 5 and games coming out in next 3/4 years at 1080p resolution with all settings maxed out...

Yes. So, I just want to have a motherboard, cabinet and PSU which will be able to hold 2 graphics card.. I am fine with 7970 but I am just concern with it's huge size occupying 3 slots making it hard to fit in second 7970..

Agreed. But after 1 year I will have two options, first is to get another 7970 and run it in crossfire mode and second to get top graphics card at that time and get rid of existing 7970. I guess 7970 in crossfire mode will perform much better than top single graphics card (8970 or whatever)...

Thanks.. Will I be able to mount 2 7970 in crossfire on the ASUS motherboard you suggested? I am planning to have second GPU in next 12 months..

1. What is the purpose of the computer? What all applications and games are you going to run? (Stupid answers like 'gaming' or 'office work' will not work. Be exact. Which games? Which applications? Avoid the word 'et cetera.') Ans: Gaming and watching HD movies. Games like BF3, Crysis2, Metro...
