Hey everyone,

Could use some help on what you guys recommend for my Rig in progress.

i5-3570k Processor
GTX-670 Graphics card
2x4GB Corsair Vengeance Ram
Asus Sabertooth 990FX
Corsair Hydro H70

There's my specs, hoping this will be a half decent build for gaming; thanks for any insight/recommendations!

Edit: Also looking to OC, if possible :)

i would say a 750watt or a 850watt will work fine, make sure to get a modular PSU so you dont have unnecessary cables.

That's an AMD mobo with an Intel CPU and will not work. Don't bother with a Sabertooth. If you are not going for a max overclock (and looks like you're not by the cooler) stick with a Z77 mobo in the ~$150 price range. If you really like Asus the P8Z77-V LK.

If you plan to add a second GPU you need to go 750W or better. If not, keep it around 550W even if OCing. Get a Corsair, Seasonic, XFX or the like.

Just curious, what would you recommend for a cooler? Also; thank you very much for the help.

I like cheap air so can't really make many informed liquid cooling recommendations. You can search here and Anandtech for liquid cooler roundups. That's probably a nice cooler, all I was getting at is that folks really pushing high clocks are going to go with an H100i or the like.
