Hello everyone!
I have opened this thread with the intent to seek advice on the system I have built for myself. I intended to build a very good gaming system with the intention of later adding an SLI, a system that would allow me to run any game on highest settings at a 1900x1200 resolution with 60+ fps. During the building of this pc I my intentions were on getting some of the best parts whilst preserving a decent performance/price ratio, with a tendency to go for pricier only to make sure the quality of the product is superior. The things that I am interested in are:
1. Is this system compatible and would it all fit together nicely?
2. Any recommendations for replacing a part, whilst preserving a decent performance/price ratio.

This board has everything the Asus Pro does but runs a bit cheaper.

Also I would look at a Corsair or XFX 750w psu and not a Cooler Master, down size on the RAM to 8GB (2x4GB) and add an after market cpu h/s...something like the Cooler Master EVO which can be had a for a decent price @ amazon.

What I did forget to say was I am hoping the rig will keep me running the games for the next 3 years, high graphic demanding ones I mean, such as the next Crysys, at 60 fps, will this rig do it?
I did hear gigabyte's do not do well in SLI and that EVGA FTW would be better suited in this case.
I do not mind paying extra for extra quality products.

I understand and there is no need to worry as my friend is working at the company and it is quite reputable, I am thinking they may not import these specific items :)
I prefer to buy the items locally because shiping times are down, shipping prices are down, fast service in case it is needed

EDIT: would you please recommend a good optic unit as well, a blue ray writer i mean? I have forgotten I have no idea what to purchase in this case, thank you again

Also I am not from the UK, but from Eastern Europe and many sites do not deliver here so its whole lot less complicated to buy locally, instead the company seems to not import G.skill, but they do many other such as Corsair, Kingston etc., the same goes for the HDD and SSD and power supply companies

From Romania, I did not mention it as I did not see the importance of it because I was interested in getting advice building my PC, however I used newegg (and amazon) in order to specify the products I was looking for and keep the pages in the english language, I can link you the website from which I intend to make the purchase www.mediadot.ro but I have no idea how this is more useful seeing as the currency is in local format and that it does not have an english option (might just use google translate though) =))
