Ok you have a 550W PSU its good for one GPU, but your mobo is a sli/crossfire board you can save money there or up the PSU to 750W to sli/crossfire down the road.

MOBO for single GPU

total-$1183 before rebates.you have enough to buy OS and other stuff.
note:
that power supply is a rebranded Enermax which means top notch quality.550w will easily run your system even with overclocks.
PRO4 Z77 does not supports SLi but does supports overclocking.
this 670 with a little OC will beat a stock 680 for less.
throw that 200mm fan on top of your case for a big improvement in ventilation.
evo will easily take you 4.5GHz and 12GB ssd is more than enough for OS and some games.
enjoy

Hm, the only problem I really have is 2500k vs 3570k. I do know that Ivy Bridge has 4000 and Sandy has 3000 series GPU. And that both have same clock speeds and are easily OCable. And remember I am ordering this today, so that is out of stock and I am aware of that which is why I was going to OC it myself.

................so what's the question?

................so what's the question?

The GC you posted I can't get because I'm ordering today. My question is which is better, 3570k or 2500k?

 

[hellfire24]

well it's worth waiting IMO.for gaming,2500k will do the job very well.
