Noctua D14 smokes the H100. Telling you now, just get the 3570K and 670. 95% of the performance for a lot less. That SSD is overpriced!

For games? No, 8 is enough.

gtx 680 is a nice gpu but GeForce GTX 670 is also good around $440+use 16gb ram for better performance...

if you are seriously not OCing, it's a rather sad waste getting a K processor and an OCable mobo, but i'll give you the benefit of the doubt you'll change your mind in the future anyway.

if you have no plans to run your card in SLI, then an 850W PSU is a waste, and can rack up your electricity builds when you're not using the PC in it's rated load for efficiency. for a single 670, 600-650W is more than enough.

You should check slickdeals.com for SSD's. Their prices have been falling rapidly.

Ok thanks for the cooling tip will look into it
about the cpu its $100 difference between 3570k and 3770k not a big deal for me
and between the graphics cards like $240 dollar difference
$340 is really nothing to me when its going to something i love and will use every day you know its completely unnecessary but i want it lol

The SSD ya is overpriced cause its an intel other brands are much cheaper your right

Thanks for input

lol i will be very slow at replying using a very old pc thanks for all posts
