System includes 120 Hz monitor for crisp , clear action .... Twin 560's (900 MHz) are 40% faster than a single 580. MoBo will give x16 x16 GFX support ..... Any decent full tower case and 10.0 performance rated PSU per jonnyguru will cost more .... HAF-X w/ Corsair Ax850 would be 2nd choice.

to hit your $2000 limit, or go further you might

-$80 - Corsair Force 3 SSD will be released any day (June 1st ?) at $220 .... it matches vertex 3's performance and will force OCZ to drop price on Vertex 3....pick whichever one has best bang for the buck ... at $220ish
-$45 - Hold off on overclocking until budget allows , drop aftermarket cooler / TIM
-$220 - Get 1 GFX card now and another later.
-$170 - Get a 60Hz monitor
-$50 drop Blue Ray movie support from optical drive

nice but i would add custom loop water cooling to it so no cooling required..........excellent build ..........and also i have a phantom case.........i hope it can make it up

 

[Guest]

ok the mobo gives x8/x8 support........ ?

 

[Guest]

thts why i chose i7 2600kor maybe 960.....and most of the mobos give ample of ram slots + dual x16/x16.....at premium price near to i5-dual x16/x16 config......

i5 2500k
asrock p67 extreme4 mobo
2 560 ti in sli- most cards wont bottleneck at x8/x8 look it up
cpu cooler- http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/message.php?ref=0&numrep=0&config=tomshardwareus.inc&cat=31&post=311942&page=1&p=1&subcat=322&sondage=0&owntopic=0&new=0 -better and quieter than the scythe
corsair force 3 ssd when they come out
samsung spinpoint f3 1tb hdd
water cooling is way overpriced and not much better than air cooling
ram- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231460
are you going to go 3d/multi monitor?

 

[mdd1963]

the P67 MBs having 'only' x8/x8 bandwidth in SLI is of little to no consequence, as these cpus/MBs perform better than X58 boards anyway. (Do NOT choose the lesser performing X58 MBs and prior generation of i7-9x0 cpus)
