Hey guys, I have my build almost figured out. Just have a couple questions left to answer.
Approximate Purchase Date: in a week or so
Budget Range: around $1500
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, school (engineering/programming), internet
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com, amazon, whats ever cheapest really
Country: USA
Parts Preferences:Intel, NVIDA
Overclocking: Yes slight, 4-4.2GHz
SLI or Crossfire: possibly in the future
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Would like it to last at least 3 or 4 years, would like it to be pretty quiet. (don't want an air plane in my room) basically want to be able to play any games on max settings.
Here's my build.

1) For the motherboard, I've seen a lot of people recommend the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H. Should I switch to that? Or stick with my Asrock extreme4? or switch to the extreme6?

2) For my GPU I'm going with the 670, just haven't decided on a brand. Torn between EVGA and GIGABYTE. Heard the windforce was the way to go.
3) I'm also very unsettled about my SSD choice, have seen the Mushkin, Crucrail M4, and the Samgsung tossed around all over the place. But don't really know the difference or advantages of one over the others.
4) just wanted to make sure everything would fit in the Corsair 500r with a possible SLI in the future.
Thanks for all the advice in advance.
