Notes: I would like to run this computer 24/7 @ 70% load for extended periods of time. I would also like to stay around the 1,600$ price range before MIR. a 128gb ssd would be perferable if it fits into the build. Trying to find combo deals on newegg atm.

You dont need thermal paste the 212 comes with it

 

[feartrich]

yours isn't that great for $1700; the gtx 570 would fit in a quality $1000 PC, which makes it kinda low end for $1700...also you deserve an ssd and a better mobo for that price... pimp it up:

why the rush btw?

 

[chuglife]

Ok, ill take out the thermal paste, Thank you.

Other things are I need suggestions on: graphics cards (6970 or 570 superoverclocked or regular) or maybe other options, good cases (Not sure i need to spend 170$ on the corsair 600T).

Thanks for the suggestions so far.

edit: I have an ssd included in original build. And the rush is because I need to order it before i leave back to college tomorrow.

 

[chuglife]

Hmm I guess i could find a cheaper case, the problem is I need everyting (monitor, speakers, keyboard ect...) So in reality its about a $1,300 pc. I agree that it's close to deserving a 580 or 2x 6870's, but so far i can't fit it into my budget..

 

[chuglife]

Guess ill pull the trigger on the original build -thermal paste unless someone has part suggestions?
