well i am building a new pc to replace my old one and im thinking on getting all this

CASE: Cooler master 430 black elite http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119227&Tpk=cooler%20master%20430%20elite

RAM: 16gb (2x8gb) corsair vengeance at 1600mhz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233246

Hard Drive: 1tb seagate 7200rpm basic stuff...

Mobo: Asus P8Z68-v pro/gen3 PCIe ready http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131790

VGA: EVGA GeForce GTX660 Ti 2GB GDDR5 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130809

PSU: antec high current gaming series 900w http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371050

CPU: Intel I5 3570K @3.4 GHz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504

CPU Cooler: cooler master Hyper 212 EVO with an extra 120mm fan http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

so i was maybe wondering if there would be any problem with this specs i already got the ram memories, the hard drive and the case so they are out, i was wondering if there would be any problem with the Graphic card with that kind of processor

i am looking for a build that lasts at least 3 to 4 years

any help will be really appreciated

thanx everyone!

Yeah that will work but it's kind of an expensive motherboard. The Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 and Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H are $50 less and they have the ability for 2-way SLI.

Here are some changes that will help with performance and cost about the same.

mobo - asrock z77 extreme4 $120 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007KTY4A6/?tag=pcpapi-20

gpu - evga gtx 670 ftw $340 after rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130802

psu - xfx pro750 xxx edition $85 after rebate http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=62224&vpn=P1750BNLG9&manufacture=XFX&promoid=1285

That's a good mobo that will let you easily oc the cpu and you can add a second gtx 670 later for a good sli setup. The xfx psu is very good and at a great price now that same psu is $125 on newegg. It also will be more than enough for your system even if you add a second gtx 670 later.

What is the budget here? For starters I'd change the motherboard to the aforementioned Z77 Extreme 4 since you can't pair a Z68 board without a BIOS update. If you're buying a good rig I'd pay more for a better case than an Elite 430. Pay more and get a Corsair 300R or Antec 100, or pay a bit more and get something like a Phantom 410. Also that power supply is overkill for a single GPU setup. I'd heavily suggest this instead: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096

The thing is that I already got the csse as a present from a relative and I decided to build in base of it I will be putting it 4 more ciller master fans of 120mm I was thinkg abiut remplacing the mobo when I heard about the update it could save some bother I wouldnt mind expending a little more for a good mobo though

The thing with the psu is that I used the page of asus of wattage calculator and it give a minimum of at least 750w so I though of 900 in case I wanted to add another graphic card, and I though of the gtx 660 ti before the 670 because from a little research I found out that there where no much of a difference between them

Im going with a budget of 1200 - 1500 getting out the case, the hard drive and the ram memory since I already have them

That Asus wattage calculator doesn't take into account real world wattage usage - only perceived wattage usage based on poor quality power supplies . It also hasn't been updated in a long time as it doesn't list NVIDIA 6XX and Radeon 7XXX cards. I think the wattage calculator on PC Part Picker is far more accurate.

All right so i used PC part picker and. Told me a total of 500w of use (w/o monitor, keyboard, fans and such) now i realize ig the calculator was right , that it was indeed an overkill, thank you very much I will consider an psu according to that

Also i've been considerong this mobo: Asus p8z77-v pro http://newegg.com/Product?itemNumber=N82E16813131819
Since it does supports 2-way sli and it is more fitted with the style that i want my case to have, also i looked that this mono it's very good to oc and it's popular among users and other gamers
