Normaly our harddrive should be the SSD and the data drive should be the harddrive.

Probably much cheaper to build it yourself

 

[C12Friedman]

Couple of observations...
1) Switch your hard drives, you want the SSD for Boot/system, HDD for Data
2) Drop the overclocking by them. It's easy enough to do yourself, the folks here at Toms can help.
3) Heatsink/Fan, a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 would be a better choice (IMO)

Everything else looks pretty monsterish

So I should do this?

Hard Drive: 120 GB SanDisk Ultra SATA-II 3.0Gb/s SSD - 280MB/s Read & 270MB/s Write [+61] (Single Drive)

Data Hard Drive: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)

Also, I know it would be cheaper to build and there would be guides/videos to show how to, I just don't want to take the risk on building my first gaming rig.

Would my overall setup accomplish what I'm looking for though? (Max settings/fps)

 

[sunnydude]

Thanks C12! Just saw your post after I posted. I'll do that. What makes the CM hyper better than the EVGA or is it just preference?

I was also thinking about the liquid cooling options however, if the fan will do the same or close to it I'd rather stick with that as I have no clue about the liquid cooling and what I should get if that's the way to go...

You wont need 2 670's to run max settings, one will work just fine.

Fairly sure a 1050w PSU isn't needed for SLI 670's either. 750w would be ok, 850w probably recommended.

Can't see any prices either.

Don't pay for over-clocking, follow a guide and do it yourself.

Always better to build than to buy.

Agree with AdrianPerry. Get one 670 for now (it will handle anything you throw at it on MAX) and get a second down the line, say a year or two, when they cost half the price or less.

i'd go CORsiar 850w TX or the next step up from that... 950 or 1000?

don't forget the coupon code at checkout.
