New Gaming Build. Please let me know your opinions.

So let's see now... you have a $180 case, a $170 850w psu and a single gtx 560. Your build looks imbalanced .

I Got the case because I like it, I Got the PSU for future SLI. Im overclocking The CPU and the GPU... I feel safer with more headroom I will have with an 850 modular PSU. I actually switched it to the 750 and saved 25 bucks. Im only at 1280x720 res right now so thats why im getting the single GPU. Once I get my 1920x1080 monitor then Im going to go sli 560s

This build includes a factory o/c gtx 570 and is set up to add another one in the future for SLI. It also includes an after market h/s (thermal paste comes w/it).. Also this case is a great one for LANS.

I really do like the things you did and I really appreciate your help. I should have mentioned, Price really isnt an issue up to 1500 or so. Im just trying to keep it lower while not sacrificing anything. I wont go with anything other than a Single Rail 700+ Corsair, Antec, Seasonic PSU... Im kind of picky about that. For GPU, I was going to buy the 580, but there is no point. I was either going for the 560 or 570. The MSI Twin FROZR caught my eye and I plan to overclock it as much as I can so im assuming it with out perform a stock 570. I am getting the Lanboy case. The things I will change would be the GPU and Motherboard. I see that the Asrock looks pretty good, lets just hope the BIOS isnt Finnicky like the ASUS Pro right now

You can o/c one of those 560's until they start smoking, and they still won't get close to touching a 570.
