? My first amazing build for 1500€ (£1300) ($2050)

[mfenn]

I'm in agreement with the others here, that build seems very weak for a $2000 budget.

i5 3470 £145
GA-Z77X-D3H £95
Crucal DDR3 1600 8GB £40
GTX 670 SLI £620
Crucial M4 128GB £83
Seagate 2TB 7200RPM £72
Lite-ON DVD Burner £15
XFX Pro 750W £74
Corsair 400R £79
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit £65
Total: £1288

That's about the same price but gives you double the graphics performance.

Good set-up.
Why A Z77 motherboard? the CPU can't be good overclocked. Mayby because of the SLI...
The SLI is a bit overkill. A single GTX670 is already overkill for the games he want to play.

All this can reduce the price of the Motherboard, GPU and Power supply.
The power supply could be the XFX 550W.

A B75 motherboard i recommed. Very cheap. All the features you need! (Without SLI then)

Also mayby more SSD capacity. 128GB is a little low.

You need Z77 to get SLI support, and you need to get at least a midrange Z77 to get a x8/x8 split on your primary PCIe slots.

Obviously you could build a non-SLI machine for much cheaper, I was showing the OP what he could get with his full budget.
