Looking for feedback on my build. I realize the mobo is way overboard for what I want to do, but since Z68 will support Ivy Bridge with a BIOS change, I want to go with that.
I plan on gaming at 1920x1200 on a Dell U2410. I havent built a computer from scratch since 1999, and I am just looking for opinions/advice.
I love the look of the FT02B-W, so I plan on using the following parts:
CPU: i7-2600K (Hoping to OC to 4.5-4.7)
Mobo: Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Z68
GPU - 2 x GTX 580 SC SLI
CPU Cooler - Corsair H70 or NH-D14 (I dont like the ugly color, so prefer going with the H70 for the simplistic look)
Memory - 2x4GB Corsair Vengeance Red DDR3 1600
SSD - Crucial 256GB M4
HD - WD Caviar Black 2TB
Optical Drive - Light-on Lightscribe IHAS424-98
PSU - Corsair HX1050
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Any help/advice/feedback would be appreciated, especially with the case/cpu cooling. Should I replace the fans with better ones? I am not sure!
Thank you in advance...
