MOBO : ASUS P67 Sabertooth
RAM : 2x2Gb Corsair Vengeance
GFX : ASUS gtx560Ti TOP
PSU : XFX 850W
CPU : i5 2500K
HDD : 2tb Samsung
MONITOR : LG W2363D 23" + Nvidia 3D glasses

I was also wondering if that precise vengeance memory is compatible with the sabertooth mobo?

The Ram will work, but if you intend to overclock, the cpu will need an after market HSF. And the vengeances have such tall heatsinks that you are bound to run into issues with clearance. So I would consider some memory from Corsair, Gskill, Mushkin or Kingston that doesn't have such tall heatsinks. 1.5V CAS9 1600Mhz being the general specs otherwise.

And looking at your build. If one 560Ti doesn't run BF3 good enough, just get another

I don't intend on overclocking. pretty sure this build will last me quite a while without needing to overclock. I thought the same thing, as soon as I can't run my games maxed out, I'll just add another 560Ti. Going to need it soon because of the 3D setup.
Thanx

yeah, running bf3 in 3d you will probably need a second gtx 560ti anyway (maybe even more lol)

BF3 in 3D? Get a GTX 590. If you're just watching movies the 560 is fine.

Two 560s at 1000mhz core almost is same as 590

Firstly BF3 will run fine on this setup, and secondly I never said I'm biulding it to play bf3 in 3D. I just said that I will need to get another 560 if I intend to. If i had the cash, I still wouldn't buy the 590. Overkill. You can get much cheaper SLI rig.

Except for the fact 3D gaming is twice the resolution and twice the pixels. Those GTX 560 Tis won't look too good when they hit he VRAM wall (and rather quickly too).
