It has come to my attention that the motherboard is not SLI compatible. Now, I don't really know how to overclock, so would it be worth it to buy a compatible motherboard and learn?

What about the 660ti or a 670 for the GPU? what resolution will you be playing at? Do you plan on OC? A Cpu cooler might be a wise investment also, possibly a SSD also. Also you Mobo is not worth it i recommend a z77 asus p8Z77-v LK

I plan on playing on a 1620x1280 i think (i dont remember - the monitor is in another city at the moment). I do not plan on overclocking, so that's why I didnt include a cpu cooler. I went ahead and changed the i5 to the locked one - that's also why im sticking with the h77 motherboard
