Hi there guys I was wondering if this build would work. I'm making this build to do 1080p gaming on a LG 47Inch HDTV. I never overclocked before and in the future I will do a SLI configuration. If there's any other parts you would feel I would need to upgrade let me know.

Hard Drive: Western Digital WD AV-GP WD10EURX 1TB

That case should come with fans, also I would recommend changing the case to a 200r (big corsair fanboy) and the CPU cooler to a Hyper 212 EVO as it's cheaper, and will still get the job done.

It was actually proven that Enermax cooler was a couple degrees lower then than the Cooler Master Cooler. I'm replacing the stock fan for the back with an aftermarket 120mm fan. I'll probably upgrade the case to a full tower for more fan support.

Any reason you'd need the ultimate version of win7?
Not really.

If the price differential between the enermax and the evo is not great,then get the enermax. But if it is,then the evo gives you comparable performance while being cheaper. Get where computerchap is going with this?

As for the OS,you could always bring it down to the normal 64bit edition and save a few more bucks.Or invest that in a liquid cooling solution like the CM seidon 120/240 or corsair h80/100

I might actually go with a Windows 8.1 because of a little bit more stability. I'm kind of scared to try a liquid cooling solution because I would have to maintenance it (or thats what I believe). The Enermax and the Cooler Master were on exact price point. But I decided to get the Black one. What cases and LED light would you recommend?
