Any reason in particular you need the 3GB version of the GPU? (gaming at high resolutions, multiple monitors, etc)

Also you could save some money by going with the P8P67 Deluxe instead of the ws revolution

 

[Sean Webster]

Toss the SSD and get a crucial M4 instead.

Also, why the WS mobo, get the pro or deluxe.

I have heard great things about it and have the C300 in my sig rig. This little guy has been causing a stir though. 510 read and write with great software. worth a shot!

And I heard the WS was great for SLI due to the x16/x16 pcie

Yeah, the M4 and the 510 are better than teh sandforce drives atm, due the the amount of issues with them.

Also you may want to look into mobos with pci-e 3.0. Asus is releasing some soon. So when IB comes out you can sell the i5 you have and upgrade no hassle.

Yea i was looking at that. It may sound stupid but if im putting money into a build, one thing i hate is an UGLY MOBO!!

this guy's budget is in the thousands. I think anything he buys will suffice for "internet browsing"

lol very true. except faildozer

dont mean to offend anyone lol

 

[Schmuckley]

i'd think those 2 570s would provide more horsepower..and yes..faildozer would be a bad choice..no matter what one's budget is ..lol p.s. stay awayy from sandforce-controlled ssds..

 

[NguyenAdam]

That is one lucky brother. D:

No need to get a 750w PSU when a 550w will be fine when overclocking to the max. Something like:

I know but i wanna sli. its either the 570's now or the 580's way down the road plus this white one will go perfectly with the case after the sanding and paint.

You guys are gonna be in for a treat when i do my build log!!

Alright. I would get the 850w version then if you want to overclock everything to the max.
