Opinions on gaming system

[pcnewbsauce]

Hey guys, I made a thread a few months ago about a gaming rig I was looking into building but a couple things came up and I never pulled the trigger. My main concern is future proofing the PC as much as possible, hence my mobo, harddrive, power supply etc. selections. I would like to add a SSD at some point but for now Ill do without it.

Well, I don't see a CPU in there for one. And I think that a 1000W power supply is a bit of an overkill. Everything else is looking pretty good though =)

I'm guessing an Intel cpu i5-2500k , which would fit in nicely with this build. You can never have too much psu because it gives you the option of adding another GTX 570 if you want later on and you can overclock without worrying about the power supply. Very nice build.

Looks like a pretty nice build!

That CM psu isn't one that you will see recommended on here. That and an 850w psu is the sweet spot for dual 570's.
