Building my new and first pc.

[JtoX]

Hello guys, i plan on building my own PC, now i have never done that before i wanted to ask you first what do you think about my build and if there are any flaws.

I will use my pc mainly for gaming.

Mobo : Asus P8Z68-V
Cpu : Intel i5 2500k
RAM : KINGSTON 8GB KIT DDR3 1600MHz CL9 HyperX blu Edition
HDD : WESTERN DIGITAL Caviar Black 1000GB 64MB cache
Case : Cooler Master HAF 922
PSU : Corsair GS800
GPU : Asus GTX 560-ti DC II in SLI


I wanted to ask if the 2 asus gtx 560-ti DC II will fit in my case AND if theres is enough space between the PCIe slots to accommodate these 2 giants cards.
I am also not sure about the HDD because its quite expensive and i wanted to ask if its really worth the money or not!
if not could you please suggest another HDD that maybe be price / performance wise better?

Sorry about my crapy english

Yep, the ASUS ENGTX560 TI DCII will fit as SLI in the HAF 922 easy. However, IMO for only a few bucks more SLI EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR.

A SATA3 HDD adds nothing to performance, so I'd look at the SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB. Don't confuse 'Interface' with actual speed. See -> http://www.harddrivebenchmark.net/high_end_drives.html

RAM F3-12800CL8D-8GBXM ; G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 CAS 8-8-8-24-2N @ 1.50v. Most of the Kingston HyperX "blu" is 1.65v and the Sandy Bridge is best suited with 1.50v DDR3 http://www.kingston.com/hyperx/products/blu.asp
