Hello,

I'm upgrading my PC for gaming and have come up with this build. Please let me know if this looks good for games like BF3 and Arma 2 Day Z.

MOBO:

Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 AMD CrossFireX/NVIDIA SLI W/ HDMI,DVI,DispayPort Dual UEFI BIOS ATX Motherboard GA-Z77X-UD3H

CPU:

Intel Core i5-3570K Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I53570K

GPU:

EVGA GeForce GTX670 FTW 2048MB GDDR5 256bit, Dual Dual-Link DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, 4-Way SLI Ready Graphics Card Graphics

RAM:

Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB Modules) 1600 MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Kit (PC3 12800) 240-Pin SDRAM

PSU:

Please suggest cooling options that I should consider. I currently have a Thermaltake full tower and 2 1TB HDs.

Your comments are appreciated.

[strike]U should pick different PSU.

GTX 670 4x SLI = 1200 recommended by manufacture, so u should have 1050Wmin.

Unless you're looking to overclock right now that is a solid build and doesn't need anything extra for cooling, the standard Intel CPU cooler is plenty for a stock CPU.

"4-Way SLI Ready Graphics Card Graphics" is a quote from the web-store, he isn't using 4 of them in this build. It's like the mobo saying "AMD CrossFireX/NVIDIA SLI W/ HDMI,DVI,DispayPort Dual UEFI BIOS".

Thanx, I have missed that : )

Four 670s would be sweet though.

I added the Hyper 212 EVO cooling system and kept the 750w power supply, this way i will be able to add to the system without having to take the system apart.

All in all, i got a great deal on Amazon; I got all the above components plus the cooling fan for $940 out the door (oh yeah, also got a tube of thermal compound). I paid no tax and no shipping (due to being a Prime member) and got $35 cash back from my Discover card.

Can't wait to start building...order should arrive Tuesday.

Thanks for the help.
