Also, do you guys recommend any Headsets. Currently on my list - Astro A40

What do you think?

Seems overkill to me for a gaming rig, no need for an overclocked CPU or the rampage extreme motherboard. Same with the ram.

32GB is very extreme

I'm also going to be editing in photoshop... etc.
Plus, might be running a minecraft server just so me and my friends can have a go at it with each other.
I'm also going to be recording in games like Battlefield 4 and other next gen games.
Also @keynes, i chose that motherboard because it's the only one with 4x PCIe3.0 x16 (red) slots to fit the 2 graphics cards, sound card and the wireless.

 

[keynes]

Other motherboards should be able to handle 2 GPUs, a sound card and wireless card. Mine does and it was significantly cheaper compare to the rampage IV extreme, if you are an extreme overclockers or wish to add more than 2 GPUs then I think that's the best motherboard you can get.

Just changed the motherboard to ASUS® P9X79 PRO.
Do i need to buy the fast track service?

Only if you need it within a week. The days indicated on the website are estimates and it could take longer than the days quoted. Have you considered home plugs rather than a wireless card? They offer a more reliable connection.

 

[DeadlyDisease]

No option for it, but i never knew how it worked.

You basically just plug one in a plug socket near your router and have a Ethernet cable to it and the you have one near the PC with a Ethernet cable to the PC and it uses your house wiring so basically its like a wired connection, I have a few of these ones http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-...UTF8&qid=1374950972&sr=8-1&keywords=homeplugs

The wireless on my PC wasn't great but since I used these I have had no problems.

 

[adator]

If you go to system refinements and then to wireless router on the configure PC page they are in there.

 

[DeadlyDisease]

So it's like an ethernet cable straight to your PC, just a tiny bit slower?

 

[keynes]

I find it more reliable than a wireless card.

 

[DeadlyDisease]

Well, i'm not taking off the wireless, but i did put it down to a cheaper version so i can get them plugs.
I will/might be ordering it on wednesday if nothing complicated gets in my way.
Also, do you recommend any headsets?
