hey:

you only need 8 GB.

for the brand of 570, I'd consider EVGA, Zotac, MSI, Asus, or Gigabyte, whichever is cheapest.

Get this hard drive instead: twice the space and $20 less.

the 850W is godo for two 570s in SLI...but if you plan to do SLI, do it within 6 months. Once the 600-series comes out, people will recommend that you upgrade instead -- have seen it happen with the 200s-400s and the 400s-500s, will happen again with the 500s-600s. However, 80+ gold is paying a lot of money for little improvement over 80+ Bronze. This XFX is almost half the price:

as for the cooler, I prefer air over water. The Noctua will be as good or better than that H80, with less maintenance hassle.

I would also suggest that a Xigmatek Gaia or a CoolerMaster hyper 212 Evo will give very good results for half the cost of either the H80 or the Noctua. The Noctua will be a few degrees better, and quieter than the less expensive coolers however.

For the video card, evga is very good. I would go with 16 gb of RAM.
For cooler, I would go with a good air heatsink. Water and electronics were not meant to be together. The Hyper 212 is good.
You should consider getting a 1 tb drive or 2x500gb drives and arrange them in RAID formation which will set up each to mirror each other in case one fails. If you happen to use the whole 500 gb then you can just reformat one drive to act as an overflow for the first drive and sacrifice the backup.

The X-850 is sexy but only really for a big silence enthusiast which you obviously aren't because you plan on SLI cards. I would get a slightly cheaper 850W PSU like a Corsair TX or something.

I would then go with 8GB of RAM, even for rendering that should be plenty. Any of the stuff you posted looks OK, Corsair Vengeance LP is good too.

For the CPU cooler any of those would work, H50 is a bit noisy though I have heard. Personally I'd get the Noctua, It's going to be just as good as the H80 if not better.

That case is basically designed for SLI cards, you are fine there.

I would usually lean toward MSI, EVGA or Gainward for an SLI setup. Normally ASUS would be good but they started doing 3 slot coolers which aren't good for SLI.

2 x 500GB in RAID 0 would give you 1 x high performance 1TB drive. By high performance I mean a bit of a boost in transfer rates, it's still going to be nowhere even close to SSD speed.

2 x 500GB in RAID 1 would give you a single 500GB secure storage drive, if one of them fails the other one would kick in and you don't lose any data.

Yeah GPU overclocking is really easy, you can do it in Windows and you rarely have to adjust voltages. MSI afterburner ftw. As for the cards, go ASUS if you don't want to SLI or MSI/EVGA if you do imo.

it will, but he's suggesting the two-fan models will work better in the confined space of the cards being right next to each other
