This is my first build since December 2007. It's about time for my 4-5 year full system upgrade now that I'm unable to run all my games smoothly.

Any suggestions or comments on my build so far?

I would say go for the 670 also and then grab an ssd for $100. Samsung 830 128gb just dropped to $99.

Thanks a lot guys I will look into the GTX 670. If it helps, I'm playing at 1920x1200 resolution, which I guess is more reason to get the 670 instead.

Also, do you guys think my 600W hard drive is enough for all of this? I know it's theoretically more than enough but I would like other input.

Thanks again

600W will be more than enough with a quality PSU like Corsair. The 3570K and 670 are both extremely efficient. Also, I play games at 1080p with my sig rig, which is a very similar system, and I play every game maxed. (Bf3, Crysis 2, Skyrim, L4D2).

600W is enough, but I would NOT recommend the builder series. God awful.

Gtx 670 + SSD over 680. A good 600w is more than enough. XFX Pro 650w is a seasonic unit and is a very good psu, I would look to change to one of these
