Either this or the normal version (7970)

I could get the GTX 670 as well.

I'd recommend a Asus 7970 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121560&Tpk=asus%207970&IsVirtualParent=1

Check the reviews. It's one of the better cards out there.

gamingboy :

Thanks alot. Do you have skype, I'd like to ask you some questions.

gamingboy · May 18, 2013

ESKlassen :

You can post them right here or PM me.

Okay. Which is the best overclockable motherboard up to $110 for the i5 - 3570k?

Also will the i5-3570k push this card to its limits?

gamingboy · May 18, 2013

ESKlassen :

You should get the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 or the ASUS P8Z77-V LK. Both are very capable boards.

Your i5 3570k will have no problem running along a 7970. It's hard to bottleneck any single GPU graphics card even on a couple year old CPU.

Will that motherboard do it as well?

gamingboy · May 18, 2013

ESKlassen :

That is a Micro-ATX board. I wouldn't recommend it unless you specifically need Micro-ATX.

Here is one that costs the same, but is regular size: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131824

Better yet, this one?

gamingboy · May 18, 2013

ESKlassen :

It's a step down from the Extreme4. It's still a solid board.

I think I'll get the one you suggested.

The following is what I'm getting:

Intel Core i5-3570K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504
ASUS P8Z77-V LX LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131824
ASUS HD7970-DC2-3GD5 Radeon HD 7970 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121560
Rosewill CAPSTONE Series CAPSTONE-750 750W Continuous @ 50°C http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1301327
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900)

Already have everything else. Does this seem okay and can I put the Processor and Graphics Card in the motherboard without any problem?
