The build looks solid to me, I am not crazy about the 580...the 570 is more cost effective, but if you have the money to blow more power to you.

I give it my stamp of approval.

 

[Bossman13]

So your saying i should go with the 570 instead. cause i have the money to spend.

 

[dalmvern]

If you have the money to spend, why not go ahead right now and do SLi 570s?

mmm what is your monitor resolution? No game really requires more than a 6950 for 1920x1200 resolution. A 570 is stronger of course, but a 580 is an overkill for 1920x1200. Bigger or more monitors change this quickly.

 

[Bossman13]

Well im going to buy a 1920x1200 monitor, with my build. but thats not included in this build. so? what do i do? I might But mabye go 2 monitors at the most!

 

[vx53c]

For one monitor then 570 is enough. If two monitors, well then i support 6950 crossfired. Your psu should be enough.
