[Solved] First Comp Build. Please Review and tell me what you think :)

Your board is dual channel which means it works best with either 2 or 4 of the same kind of sticks.

I would get 2x 4GB or 4 x 4GBs for the computer (the lower is probably good enough). Crucial RAM has lower failure rates and there is a nice tool on their website that tells you exactly the kinds that will work with your motherboard.

You would do fine with a nice set of 1600 RAM, no need to go higher than that.

I would also get a 2500k instead of a 2500 if I were you. It is only maybe $20 more and if you ever want to OC you have the potential to up the power of the CPU by like 50%.

Otherwise, the setup is pretty nice.

As good as anything else will in the same budget range.

You could always go upwards on the video card, if you have the budget.

570, 580, the 7970 should be available soon'ish and that will blow all of those away.

Those things may not be cheap, but you buy your way into FPS.

You could use lower than the max graphics and be guaranteed to have 60 FPS, but many games do put serious strain on the cards with everything completely maxxed out.

Thanks for your response raiddin re and geofelt. I am planning to buy an gtx 570 sli instead of the 6950. However, I was just wondering if you had a suggestion on where to find the manuals online as i have not bought these products yet. Much help appreciated.
Thanks in advance

^+many @geofelt.
The only thing I'd add is a personal rant. Coolermaster is a dishonest company (fact, not opinion; as determined by competent technical review at HardwareSecrets, some of their PSUs have liar labels on them, and/or are missing protection circuits they claim to possess), so I cannot recommend any of their products, no matter how good. Fortunately, in every market in which they are found, competitors offer similar products at similar prices, e.g. Rosewill for cases, and Xigmatek for CPU coolers; you won't take a hit in the wallet for refusing to support a dishonest business.
Anyway, /rant.
The build looks good, but please don't be convinced to spend money unnecessarily. Look at geofelt's single card recommendations. A GTX560Ti may be all you need, or even less if you don't mind a few "high" vs. "ultra" settings, which often make very little difference.

go for seasonic x750/x850 for psu if you plan to SLI/Crossfire in the near future as in like 1-3 months or so, and with a little headroom it's good, for dual GPU go for the 6990, well i just like it better than the 590 and if not, just stick with a single card a 6950 2gb/6970 2gb is good enough for you ^_^

I just wanted to throw it out there that micro-stuttering, while definitely as annoying as described, isn't from the cause that is described.

One video card doesn't take, say, the top half and the other the bottom half (or left vs right), instead each card takes turns rendering the entire frame.

The stuttering happens because the second card renders too soon after the first one.

The smoothest FPS would be accomplished if each card waited until the other were halfway through their render cycle before it took its turn. This doesn't actually happen in reality.

If Card A rendered at every micro second that ended in a 0, and card B rendered at every micro second ending in a 5, then there would be 5 micro seconds between each frame consistently.

The problem is when Card A goes at every 0 and Card B goes at every, say, 2 instead.

That leaves a gap of 2, then a gap of 8, then a gap of 2, and another gap of 8, and so on.

This is the source of the ever so annoying stuttering problems that only occur with 2x cards. 1x card will always render in the same intervals (100% smooth) and with 3 or 4 cards the first one is always ready soon enough after the last one that there isn't a perceivable gap even if it isn't 100% smooth (like 2, 2, 3, 2, 2, 3, etc).
