Maybe if ya know a nice monitor i like any suggestions (not to expensive

 

[Outlander_04]

RAM needs to be 1.5 volt or less

 

[thrillgun]

ok, thanks, i deleted the other one, what case/mobo/cd-rewriter do you recommend?

 

[morgoth780]

i'd up your power supply to 750w, so you can sli your gtx 560ti in the future. Get it from a company other than cooler master, like antec, corsair, or seasonic. Also, consider the asrock extreme3 gen3, if it's available in the netherlands.

 

[Outlander_04]

Either of the cases you have listed are good quality . Buy the one you like the best .

A Blu ray drive at 12 x runs much faster than a dvd writer at 12 x . I have used Samsung dvd's and they were fine . Usually these days I use whatever is cheapest and that is often Lite on where I live and they also perform well . But I havent had one of their bluray drives .

Its very hard to justify high priced enthusiast mb's IMO . The performance of all boards based on the Z68 chip set will be very very close . Some may have elaborate heatsinks that let you overclock fractionally more but the end user experience wont be different enough to justify the price difference .
Buy the cheaper one .

Ok thanks for your comments,

The ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 is also available in the netherlands yeah, but do you prefere that one or the ASUS P8Z68-V PRO???
I dont have much knowledge of the mobo's that are on the market thats why i ask


Antec TruePower New Series TP-750 Blue seems to be a good one i think
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371022

and i will take the blue ray disk that i listed, not so much options at the store that makes it for me

the asrock board has future upgradeability because it has pci-e 3.0

 

[thrillgun]

I think i will go with the build on top, i changed it now

HAF 922 is a bit outdated ..... no front USB ports for example....Antec 902 V3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129097

MoBo doesn't have standard 3 year warranty. .... Asus Z68 GEN3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790

PSU is good but expensive for what it is ... XFX Core Edition 750 is $50 cheaper and gets 9.5 perf rating from jonnyguru
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207015

RAM - Skip the tall heat sinks ... they do nothing unless ya count interfering w/ ya CPU cooler. And no.,...you by no means *need* 1.5 volt

http://www.clunk.org.uk/forums/overclocking/39184-p67-sandy-bridge-overclocking-guide-beginners.html

Sandy Bridge does not demand only 1.5v modules, it will be perfectly happy with 1.65v modules too. If someone tries to tell you that you must have 1.5v modules, then they are either trying to sell them to you, or they have been reading misinformation, or both! Another point to consider here, is that in your BIOS, if you head to the memory voltage setting, and enter 1.5v, the text will remain white/grey, if you enter 1.65v, it will turn yellow, and it isn't until 1.73v that it turns red, so at the moment, I'd rest assured that 1.65v modules are OK to use, and I have had this confirmed by Asus, Gigabyte and Corsair

Corsair CAS 9 Low Profile 1.50 V http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233186
Corsair CAS 8 Low Profile 1.35 V http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233199

BR / DVD - Here's another option but no LS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135247

GFX - Ya picked a 830 MHz card for $225 that's outta stock when there's a 900Mhz card in stock for $230
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121425

Monitor:

60 Hz - $170 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052
120 Hz - $320 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236104

Cooler - The 212 will do a 2500k to 4.5 - 4.6 Ghz no problem

$30 - Hyper 212
$50 - Scythe Mugen 3 (5-7C better than 212 under hi OC - figure 4.6 - 4.8 max OC)
$80 - Thermaltake Silver Arrow (7-10C better than 212 under OC - figure 4.8 - 5.0 max OC))

Is this the same one? http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Moederborden_Socket_1155/ASUS/P8Z68-V_PRO/554645/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Moederborden&l2=Intel

I know its in another language but i find i odd that it is that much cheaper, normally its much closer to the price on newsegg, even with $--€

I was already thinking of the other case you linked, and the power supply i want a good one, do you have experience with xfx core??

I will take the memmory without the heat sinks

And thanks for the heads up on the grafic card will buy that one.

I will buy the monitor in about 4 months i think, first want this pc

And if i want to go double 560 TI in 2 years or something, can 750 W pull that off?

750w is perfect for 560ti sli
