Ivy Bridge build $1500

[Gingertechy]

Hello I am currently doing research for a new PC. I am going to link all my parts that I plan on purchasing. What I ask of you is your opinion and if you see any flaws i.e... bottle necking. I have already purchased the case but nothing else. Thank you for your support

Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119213

I will be using this for gaming examples - FFXIV, D3, WoW, StarCraft 2, LoL, and a little bit of CS6.
I picked the power supply because I have a big obsession with clean looking computers the modular will help with that.
I already have 2 500GB HDDs "WD blues" 7200.
I also have a blu ray drive in case I want to hook this up to my Panny. Thank you!

Edit: Changed things up a bit.

I'd change the ssd http://newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226226
and put the blu-ray burner in the new rig,and this new DVD drive in the old one.

Mostly everything look pretty good.

first you do not need 750w really you only need 600-650 w. Second in my personal choice would be msi's twin frozer 670 even though i have a ftw. they have a lot of nice features like an overbuilt pcb and good cooling even if you aren't overclocking.

Everything seems ok but here is what i suggest you to change:

*Motherboard: there is no need for a 200$ in a PC built in this budget range, change it to a Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 or to a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H

*GPU: The GTX 670 FTW is a really overated card, its simply a overclocked reference GTX 670, there are far better choices like the Asus GTX670-DC2-2GD5, Asus GTX670-DC2T-2GD5, MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC, Gigabyte GV-N670WF2-2GD or Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD

*Case: change the HAF 932 for a NZXT Whisper, its a really nice looking case with a really good cable management and its REALLY quiet.

*SSD: change it for a Samsung 830, Plextor M3, Vertex 4 or Mushkin Chronos Deluxe

I'm thinking about Over clocking the GPU so Evga's warrenty would be useful. I went with the 750 because I might sli sometime in the future but thats a maybe and thought I'd just get it just in case. I have a twin frozer 5770 in my current build I really like it I will do some more research to see if the twin frozer has better software features. Thank you.

 

[Gingertechy]

I changed over to the Chronos deluxe it is def a better buy.

*Yes, overclocking a GPU is great but if you do that (no matter which brand you buy from) you will void the warranty.

*I totally understand and support your choice of getting the HX 750, its nice high quality PSU that will allow you to do a future SLI setup, that's why i didn't say anything about it.

*If that's all you need or you are happy with the responses pick a a best answer and close this thread so everyone can see it.

 

[Gingertechy]

Ah I didn't know it voids the warranty thanks for that info! Going to pick a new GPU and close this thanks.

You might want to get Low Profile RAM for use with your cooler, like this:

Not necessarily, the 212 EVO unlike some really high end coolers, leaves a fair amount of space between the RAM slots and the heat skin.

 

[allanitomwesh]

MSI have good cooling. Also like HIS.
