As the title says, i'l be looking to get a high end gaming computer , may or may not be watercooling, yet to decide. May implement it into a desk.

Any suggestions on what to use?
i haven't been keeping up with the modding scene and what not so any help will be appreciated.

Budge is yet to be decided, i do have ways to get parts cheap so budget shouldn't be a huge problme.

One change to that. Two is more than enough for 99% of all multi monitor super High res sets ups.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

I would say that a 3930k would be a better choice over the 3970x, Close to half the price and about 2% difference in gaming performance and around 5% difference for work. Also 680s would be a better choice than Titans as the price of a Titan won't be worth it unless you're aiming for tri-sli benchmarking. 2 680s woulod be enough for high res gaming and you can always expand if it isn't enough.

Price range? If I had all the money in the world I could do wonders, but I don't. I am often asked to build budget gaming PCs for friends/customers. If you have a tight budget, my answer would be far different than if you have $3000 to drop on this.

If $2k is the budget or a few more:
CrossHair V Formula-Z
8350
8-16gb DomGT
1 ssd - 1 7200hd
1 X amd7970 or a gtx if you prefer.
add a case and psu and ur there .. oh win7pro.or8.

Unless u r get'n Really Really good prices .. then Please, by all means, do tell.
Best of Luck

what do you have to spend on core components? (cpu/mb/gpus/psu/ram)

if you can keep storage, displays and peripherals out of your budget, it will help people make more accurate suggestions..

Look at my signature. not counting the case, monitor, or HDDs I have $1300 tied up. Now running RAID0 on 2x SSDs(preferably 120gb) would be very benifitial, but then you're gonna have to buy graphics. If you want to give me a specific wishlist, or list of ideas, then we will start chopping $ until we find something that works. I can tell you that I have absolutely no problems playing EVERYTHING on full ultra. Even Crysis 3. So for a budget build while still keeping in the High end class the 660 Ti would do nice. Ans then, like me, add a 2nd later on down the road. I also started with 1 SSD, and will add 2x new ones sometime soon. I will then dedicate my current ssd to hdd cache for my storage drives.
