ok so this is what we are planning on buying, total of 1873.9$ + some other stuff after those extra charges, our current budget is 2000$, we plan on sticking with everything else but we are having some trouble if there would be any bottleneck around that setup or if our 850WTXM would be having any trouble? lets say if we add all those fans available with level 10 GT, or if we will get any stability issues or anything similar.

should we aim for the 850WAXM?? (corsair AX series), instead of this (Corsair TX Series)? or we need those 1,000W beast?

the Noctua NH-D14 a reliable cooler? i've seen some on review and other people said they were satisfied with it,

overclocking= only the CPU to 4.3Ghz - 4.5Ghz everything else stays at stock

but let me ask is it necessary to overclock my CPU to 4.3 to 4.5? will i have any bottleneck if i don't?

this set up good to go?

The PSU is more than enough.It will not be a problem.
Noctua is the one of the best coolers in the world ( air cooling).
To overclock raise the multiplier from BIOS to 4.2- 4.3 i think it will be ok without raising the voltage.
Is not necessary to overclock to 4.5Ghz , because it will not be any bottleneck.Any quad who is at 3.6Ghz minimum is not a bottleneck.

let me ask will this be stable if it were run at 15-18hours a day and like a few hours rest after shut down? or since i'm over clocking my PCU to 4.2ghz do we have to limit the time it's switched on?

thanks for the quick reply

edit: sorry i forgot to write, plan to play bf3, bf2, mw2,mw3, black ops, batman, alice,

for monitors, using 3 monitors but mostly playing on 1, reason for big ram is for when using autocad and other stuff, chose i5 2500k since it fits the budget well.

PSU = Plenty
CPU on temps. should be fine, just verify. My I5-2500k @ 4.2 Max temp running prime 95 is under 60C (Have the zalman 9900Max HSF) ADDED: should say I live in a COLD house, room temp is 18C and my Idle temps are around 22->25C.

Didn't ask for so disregaurd if you want to
On your HDD selection
For $150 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185
There is no real advantage of a sata III HDD over a Sata II HDD, waste of a good SATA III port. Only improvement in performance is burst speed. WD black's were my prefered HDD, switched to Samsung F3s
On SSD.
Curcial M4 have higher customer satifaction than force. $180. 8 gigs more space and dought you would see a difference in real life performance.

That Caviar Black isn't worth $300. Get the Samsung, or a Seagate.
