Hey, I plan on building a new desktop since my laptop has been on its last legs for about 5 years now. I would like something that can actually play games, and not stutter during movies haha.
I'm not quite sure on this build anymore, as I'm indecisive to start with and have read some bad things about the mobo and gpu. I'd appreciate any input.
Case: CM Storm Trooper

Cpu: I5-3570k (just in case I want to OC in the future
Gpu: Asus Gtx 660 ti (is the bandwidth really that bad?)

Mobo: Gigabyte Ud5h

or
Asrock Extreme6

Psu: XFX Pro750W XXX

I can figure the rest out after I get the basics straightened out. I'd like to have room for at least 4 hard drives (two of which will be ssd's), and I'm undecided on whether or not to sli/crossfire. Pay now for a good card or later for a second, is that basically the choice?
I'll probably get 2x8gb ram to start so I can more easily max it out later ( just preference). I'm using a higher psu than I need just so I have room for expansion without wasting the one I already bought. I just like the case
I plan on using win7.
Any recomendations?
