New gaming System, Thoughts anyone??

Hi TH,


Had started a thread 2 days ago however im having issues finding it.

Was wanting to know thoughts about a new build im attempting.
Would be used for AutoCAD but mainly gaming.

CPU: i7 2600k 3.4GHz 8MB cache
GPU: XFX ATI 6950 2GB (planning to unlock and xfire later)
MOBO: ASUS P8P67-M PRO
RAM: G.Skill x series 8GB DDR 1333 CL9
OP.DRIVE: SAMSUNG SH-B123A 12x Blu-ray Reader + 16x DVD Writer Black SATA Retail
PSU: XFX P1-650x xxx edition Bronze cert.
HDD: WD cavier 1TB sata 3 32MB cache 3.5"
CASE: Cooler Master Storm Scout (1x front,rear,top 140mm fan)

Wanting to know thoughts. Am thinking of purchasing the GPU PSU Case and OPdrive first and then the mobo cpu and ram on the next paycheck.
Any thoughts at all? thanks to the person who had already replied on the other thread this builds got the different MOBO for Xfire.

Good mobo choice. I think this build should be fine.

Oh Caviar Blacks are just not worth it, get a F3 or somethng.

Oh k i forgot to mention that im planning on getting a 60GB SSD for windows boot up in the future so would that warrant me getting an average HDD like the cavier?

Uhh i see its the same price for the f3 compared to the cavier? could i just ask why the f3 over the cavier?

Am also thinking of switching the case from the storm scout to the CM 690 II advanced
aparently its bigger allows more airflow.
