    Posted: 29 Jul 2014 at 2:32pm
Budget:
[$2,000-$3,000]

Expectations:
[I would prefer a computer that is not too noisy. I am going to be playing with a single 27" monitor at 2560x1440 resolution. At the moment I do not plan to utilize any 3D tech.]

Usage:
[Primarily gaming: Marvel Heroes, Elder Scrolls Online, etc.]

Saved Ticket #: [1020570 https://www.digitalstormonline.com/configurator.asp?id=1020570]

If someone has a moment, I would appreciate some input on the system I am considering. For my expectations and intended uses, do you think my build is all right? Would I be fine with the overclock level 2, GTX 780ti, and a 700W power supply? Thank you very much for your time and feedback!

Hi Raselyn.. That Bolt rig looks real good to me.

The 780ti will play great on your monitor.   

The 500watt psu could handle it but the 700w does give you more headroom and piece of mind. Either work. If not, DS would let you know.

Change your secondary HDD from Seagate to the Western Digital Caviar Black. A better drive with longer warranty for just $19.

Good luck and stay in touch.

Thank you for your thoughts, bprat!  When I bought my last DS computer (in January 2013), you were a great help to me, and it is fantastic to see you still being so active on the forums.  This community is lucky to have you!
