-if you are talking about the 3570k, the z77m will work but the z77-v LK board is a better choice
-there are no 680ti s. if you are getting a 660ti, the 7950 is a higher performing option
-get a proper seasonic psu
-id get a seagate given the price difference. they are both just as likely to fail
-get 1.5v ram. kingston ram is often 1.65v which is overspec for intel chips
-there are better options for a SSD other than the intel 520

-About mobo. Why?
-No,no I was thinking about 680
-Said above
-I love less likely to fail
-I checked that it should be 1.5v. Could somebody check that?
-For an ssd there are not (at least for me :p)

But mobo will support 680, right?

asus z77 m boards often dont work. thats about it

680s are a scam. 670s perform the same for 100 bucks less. and if you are only running 1 video card and are not going to run 2 cards later on, a 7970 is a even better purchase

its going to be the same.

if you can get kingston 1.5v ram, you are overspending since they almost never put them out on sale

you better get a SSD at this price range. makes a bigger difference than adding more GPU horsepower

Actually I was just interested whether mobo would support higher-end cards like 680 and 7970 :D

I don't know what mobo to buy. OK for that ASUS.

Now nvidia performs nearly the same with far less specifications. It has better architecture. I love better architectures.

TheBigTroll is true about 680, you never need 680,because its too expensive, 660 non-ti SLI and 7850 CF beat in everything for less cost. Not only that, overclock 670 and 7970 beat stock 680 performance.
Be wise, choose 670 or 7970, you get better performance/price.
