Opinions wanted on this build...
TomH426
Looking for comments on the below config before i buy.
Does this look like a reasonable setup?
I need to be able to run MS Office 2010 as well as games like Crysis 1 & 2 ( and eventually 3 ) or Metro 2033.
MB - ASUS P8Z77-V
PSU - Silverstone 750W 80+ Silver
CPU - i5 3570k overclocked - liquid cooled
Ram - 8gb Crucial Tactical 1866mhz ( 2x4 )
GPU - Nvidia geforce gtx 670 2gb
HD1 - Crucial SSD 120 gb
HD2 - Caviar 2tb green
Should i up the Ram or change the HD to a caviar Black?
Does the rest look ok?
sorry, i am new to this.

Lets see if this will work better for you. Please note. I am not building this myself.
I know i could save money by doing so but i don't really have the inclination or time to do it.( I know, heresy)
so i am buying this from Falcon NW if it appears to be suitable.
I am not necessarily looking to save money just looking for good performance in this price range.
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week or within the next 3 weeks max.
Budget Range: about $2000.00
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming with above stated games for now, but i need Office functions as well as just idle net surfing
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but not included in this build i will buy separately
Parts to Upgrade: All new build
Do you need to buy OS: NO ( included )
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, but as stated this is not home built
Location: City, State/Region, Country - East Coast USA
Parts Preferences: none
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe later
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 probably 24" monitor -
Looks nice but check out cyberpower and ibuypower before fixating too much they also build hi-spec computers, but the fans this comes with oughta be good fo OC'ing not sure about silverstone's track record with psu's but I think I recognize their name anyways 750w should be enough for oc'in and probably SLI/Crossfire
