New gaming pc almost ready to order

[joshmathu]

Hi everyone

I am looking for some final input before I place my order. I currently own the Operating System and Video card in this build.

Should i upgrade to windows 8 ? Should I add another video card ?

I'm also a bit clueless on the motherboard aspect.

Thanks in advance.

Almost forgot do i need to buy more case fans? If so what size and how many? I also prefer plain fans not flashy led stuff.

A few changes.

1. You don't need 16GB of RAM for gaming. 8GB is plenty (plus you need low profile to fit the 212 EVO).

2. The 570 is older generation. Upped it to a 670.
