Hey guys,
i was just wandering if i could please get an opinion on this planned first build of mine

Corsair Obsidian 750D
Asus P8P67 pro
intel I5 2500K (planning to OC possibly)
Corsair Vengeance 8gb
Corsair H60 aio water cooler,
2x nvidia GTX680 (was planning on getting a single 970 or something, but 2x 680's got offered to me for $120)
Corsair RM series 850w PSU
120Gb ssd for OS
2Tb hdd for other storage,

will this be good enough to run high graphics on GTA V
i also plan on playing a hell of a lot of just cause (crossing fingers that this rig may run it on decent settings)

thanks

IIRC, a 690 is a little slower than 2 680s. Looks like you made a fairly good choice.
Though you might be limited on textures you can use. What resolution is your monitor?

I hope you're getting the 2500K and mobo used, for a good price, too.

thanks for the answer
my monitor is 1920 x 1080
and i am getting the mobo and cpu for $150

Can you list out what you're paying for each component? Without that information, it's hard to determine whether or not you're getting a good deal.

Corsair Obsidian 750D - $150
Asus P8P67 pro
intel I5 2500K (planning to OC possibly) -$150 with mobo
Corsair Vengeance 8gb - $30
Corsair H60 aio water cooler - $50
2x nvidia GTX680 (was planning on getting a single 970 or something, but 2x 680's got offered to me for $120)
Corsair RM series 850w PSU - $100
120Gb ssd for OS - $20
2Tb hdd WD black for other storage - $75

695 total

That's pretty good overall. The 750D is nice but expensive; you might consider a Fractal Design R5 for $110 instead.

Thanks m fennel.
I did go back and forth between the fractal and the obsidian for a while. I just personally adore the look of the obsidian

I'd recommend a Phanteks Enthoo Pro for $90-100.
