Hello,

All looking great.

Couple of parts to look at:

SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB - Not sure exactly which WD 1TB drive your looking at (Black, Green, Blue). This Samsung drive comes highly recommended, and is cheaper than the Caviar Black.

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 1600 - Sometimes a little cheaper, than Corsair etc, but still great RAM. Not sure exactly which Kingston 8 GB DDR3 @ 1600 MHz Cl 9 your looking at. Make sure you get a 1.5V kit.

Crucial M4 64GB - OCZ vertex 3 is great. Looks like the Crucial has a lower failure rate.

Thanks! the main reason the components fir together is because of the guides on this page :D
hmm the reason im not sure about the WD 1TB is because it already is inside my old case, which also contains the PSU and the optical drive. so im not buying a wholly new computer :) but the case and parts are all under a year old so shouldnt be a problem. hmm not sure about SLI have heard it causes a hell lot of hassle and the gain is very uneven varying on the game.
My local reseller doesnt have G-skill RAM :pfff: so i checked more and found theese Corsair rams to be better than the kingstons!

RAM : Corsair Vengeance 8 GB Kit PC3-12800, 1600MHz, 2x240 DIMM 8 GB Kit(2x4096 MB) (1.5V)

the crucial looks interesting, will definitely think about it. problem is, theres none to be found here of them either :D but i managed to find a smaller store selling them, the price diff is ver small so ill probably go for the vertex3.

but hey thanks for all the ansvears!


 

You have a board meant for dual vid cards, and a psu for a single gtx 570. You could cut down on the price with a single card board. Where do you plan on purchasing your parts ?
