    Go have a look around the forum or something, have a look at builds and see what we recommend.

    Fill out the form in the stickies also, we can't help you with just that small amount of information

    I'm dead busy all day tomorrow so I won't be able to throw up a build until tomorrow evening :-/.

    If anyone else wants to help this gentleman out in the meantime you're more than welcome.

    Game dev? Intel i7 and nVidia all the way IMO. Multithreading, Kepler, CUDA, PhysX... AMD is a more cost effective option for guys that are purely gaming, but for us devs, gotta bite that bullet.

    Also if this is your first build and you are not overclocking the i7, consider skipping out the water cooling. It is tricky and expensive.
