Alright guys, here is my final build. Opinions are welcome. Just one final check to see if i get the best bang for my buck and to see if everything is compatible.

Also, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK I CAN OVERCLOCK THIS PROCESSOR. (sorry for the caps i just wanted to get your attention)

I want to make this as futre proof as possible

Looks good to me. As for ocing you cpu seems to me like everyone is hitting 4.5 these days.

 

[rivashain]

Alright good, thats one less thing to worry about. Do you think i should go for 560ti SLI. Also since im a first time builder do you think i would have a problem setting up sLI and should i get a power supply that has modular cables(atleast thats what i think it is called).

 

[G6ET1987]

Setting up SLI isn't difficult, but Crossfire is the way to go for at the moment with multi GPUs, much better scaling.

But unless you are planning to go eyefinity then single card is probably a good choice and a 580 will be more than enough.

 

[Why_Me]

You went light on the psu, especially seeing how you plan on o/c and I'm guessing adding another one of those cards later on. I would look at a 950w - 1000w psu so your psu isn't running balls to the walls with two of those cards.

 

[cutebeans]

I wouldn't go SLI right now, since the new cards are supposed to be 2x faster.

 

[thrakazog]

For your cpu cooler, get the hyper 212 EVO.......it's the newer upgraded version of the 212+

Looks like u are gonna be rockin BF3!

Save yourself some money and get a standard clock for your GTX 580. Superclocks are not worth it. You can do the same clock and for less. If you plan on going SLI and have a high OC, you will need a better PSU, as mentioned by Why_Me. Nvidia's next cards will not be 2x faster than the current ones. They will be 20% MAX, but more likely around 10% to 15%. Price drops when the cards release will give you a chance for a second card.

Hyper 212 Evo, the case isn't amazing, I have the old one and it leaves a bit to be wanted.

Thanks for the advice, you think this is sufficient?

Well they are the same price right now, atleast on newegg they are.

Then that's great. Make sure you get the AR model (it should say it somewhere in the name). You get lifetime warranty.

And yes, you should able to max out BF3 with great frames.

So is this product your recommending able to handle 580 SLI with my current build and overclocking?

Yep, it has AR in the name.
