What would you change about this PC setup?

I could be a troll and say, "Sell it and get [INSERT CONSOLE HERE]," but then I remember that nobody here handles trolls very well, so I'm just going to sift through the comments and eventually move on.

3 RepliesDo you need the i7? That's mainly for editing so you're not going to really benefit a whole lot for gaming

So beside the up to date GPU and 16GB of RAM, why would this cost $3000? I bought everything listed, minus the GPU and only has an 8GB RAM which came to $900, in Australia! Where everything is fantastically expensive! *sips tea*

External soundcards have better audio quality than internal ones because there is little to no interference in an external one. The [url=https://www.mayflowerelectronics.com/shop/mayflower-custom-products/desktop-objective2-with-odac/]ODAC + O2 combo[/url] probably has the best performance/prize ratio. You should probably get a nice pair of headphones too like a pair of [url=http://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/headphones-and-headsets/at-home/music-pleasure/dt-880-edition.html]Beyerdynamics DT 880s[/url] or if you've got lots of money to burn then get the [url=https://www.staxusa.com/stax-sr-009.html]STAX SR-009[/url] (you need a powerful Amp to drive them though). I'd get a triple monitor setup if I were you. It's great for multitasking. I can watch a video, browse bungie.net, and play a game at the same time. And something that IMO is a must have for a good gaming setup is a good mechanical keyboard. I have a [url=http://steelseries.com/products/keyboards/steelseries-6gv2]Steelseries 6gv2[/url] with red Cherry MX switches. It's a good cheap ($100) mechanical keyboard. If you've got money to spend and if you like high quality keyboards then get a Korean one like the [url=http://www.originativeco.com/collections/keyboards/products/kmac-2]KMAC 2[/url] (some assembly and additional parts required). Mechanical keyboards are not only more comfortable to type on but you can also customize them with some [url=http://i.imgur.com/XkeaFSb.jpg]awesome keycaps[/url]!

9 RepliesAwful graphics card choice for that money. My rig cost me close to £3000 (works out at around $5000) but that's factoring in the extra cost of just being in the UK - everything is more expensive here. For that kind of money you want AT LEAST a 3GB GTX 780, if not a GTX 780 Ti. Hell, if you're going hard, do what I did and get two EVGA Classified GTX 780s and run them together. The memory and CPU are overkill for a gaming rig - mine has an i7 3770K and it was a poor choice, more expensive and less of the bonuses. The RAM I have is great for video editing, which is only something I do on occasion. Mine is -blam!-ing overkill. But you can go better than a GTX 770 for that money. Way better.
