Hows my build look?
Last response: in Systems
Just ordered most of the parts from www.newegg.com
CASE: LIAN LI Lancool PC-K7B 89.99
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard 154.99
PCU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop 219.99
RAM:G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB 49.99
PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V v2.2 / EPS12V v2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified 134.99
OPTICAL: SAMSUNG Black 16X DVD-ROM 40X CD-ROM SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model TS-H353C - OEM 16.99
SSD: Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) 109.99
HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive 59.99
Still need a GPU which I will probably go with a nice 560ti. My question to the pros is, does this look like a decent build? With tax and shipping this came out to $910.00. I plan on going SLI with the 560ti as well in the future.

More about : hows build
looks pretty solid to me.
I would suggest the AS Rock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3. All the same features, but SSD Caching to speed up your mechanical drive, also $125 instead of $155, will still do sli/crossfire.
why the DVD ROM, when a DVD RW is the same price?
a decent wi-fi card is about $20, a decent USB card is $15

1. I'd a wanted a MoBo w/ an industry standard 3 year warranty.
2. I'd run a 50 cable to the PC.
3. With regard to SSD caching .... won't do beans for ya.

If you can’t afford a decent size SSD (40GB+) then there are more cost effective ways around using a small SSD and SSD cashing like spending less on a motherboard, (H67 chipset or even a P67 chipset) and putting the saved money into a decent size SSD.

Finally, another feature of a Z68 chipset is known as SSD caching which is where it allows the use of a small (say 10 or 20 GB) Solid state hard drive to act as a cache for a larger ‘traditional’ hard disk. If you are already planning the use of a Solid State drive this feature is redundant.If you can’t afford a decent size SSD (40GB+) then there are more cost effective ways around using a small SSD and SSD cashing like spending less on a motherboard, (H67 chipset or even a P67 chipset) and putting the saved money into a decent size SSD.
