just seen im a 300 bucks under. Will take some upgrade suggestions too. Not sure if upgrading card further at my resolution would be worth it. could always sli another one next year with this build if i get a bigger screen.

Appreciate all the feed back. Cursor is on the order button so let me know what ya think!

thanks

You dont have a video card listed here and get a different hard drive
you can get a faster 1TB drive for cheaper, samsung f.....
anyway 300 dollars worth of video card I guess would be your best bet

upgrading card? which card?

O man forgot to link card really sorry.

I had a gtx 570 picked

EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1572-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express

Also ill have alook into that samsung hdd


Looked at the samsungs. both eco green and spinpoints dont see a huge diff in latency plus the bulk of them i can see are only 32 meg caches. Anyone have a linkto a better hard drive than the original post?
