Pros
- you have a 25ook the "k" series overclocks to minimum 4.5Ghz - 5.2Ghz+ with a decent HSF
- Motherboard is CF and SLi supported so you can CF and can overclock that CPU to 4.5Ghz with ease biggrin.gif just make sure you are using a F2 version of Bios redface.gif
- 8 GB Low profile RAM which performs good and you will not have problems adding a Huge HSF like a D14 or a Silver Arrow as the RAM is Low Profile biggrin.gif
- GTX 560 Ti which performs better 6870
- the PSU is Modular
- the case is of your choice
- 1TB 7200 RPM HDD as you wanted
- to go with that case you are losing a lot of Graphic performance
- the PSU is modular BUT can run only a single card
