What drives build...gaming or multithreaded applications ? If gaming, save $100 and get 2500k.

Noc is a great old design cooler....but this is a new day and new designs have nudged out the ole champ .... CM Hyper 612 PWM or Thermalright Silver Arrow.

With your budget, I'd get the Pro version of that MoBo.

Again, for gaming, 8Gb is more than enough.

60 GB is too small and Force 3 120 GB is a Tier 8 .... 61 % slower based upon THG's rankings than a Tier 3 .... I'd move up to Tier 3

In a $1200 build, I can certainly see twin 6870's .... at $2350, it's way light .... I'd put two 560 Ti's in a $1500 build. Two 900 Mhz 560 Ti's get ya 862 fps in Guru3D's game test suite....the 6870's get 701 fps.....that's 23% difference.

The TX850 (I assume the V2 version) costs $125 on this side of the pond. The XFX Core Edition 850 costs $90 and gets the same jonnyguru performance rating of 9.5

The Monitor goes for about $221 over here at discount houses (monitor has been discontinued). A 120Mhz monitor would be $290

[gooseta]

They're much more expensive than the 6870s...

gonna use 2x these 2GB XFX HD 6950 XXX, PCIe 2.1 (x16), 5200MHz GDDR5, GPU 830MHz, 1408 Cores, HDMI/ 2x mini DisplayPort/ 2x DVI

you want to save? don't use the dual monitor setup unless you actually need it for work or something. and instead of running GPUs in crossfire or SLI, get a 6970 or gtx 580. also, unless you're doing video rendering and the like, stick to the 2500k. cheaper and for gaming is a beast. cutting out the dual monitors and such will save you some money. also, an SSD for booting isn't a neccesity, unless you can't stand to wait a minute for your PC to boot. a 2500k w/ a gtx 580 or radeon 6970 plus 8 gigs of RAM running at 1600mhz is perfect for gaming. as for MOBO's yours seems pretty good. you don't need to spend too much unless you're overclocking; even then, 150-200 dollars will do.

hes going to spend over 2 grand and you recommend 2 560ti's??? really??? thats silly. it leaves no room for upgrade and you can fit two 570s in there and 2 580's if you wanted.

gonna use 2x these 2GB XFX HD 6950 XXX, PCIe 2.1 (x16), 5200MHz GDDR5, GPU 830MHz, 1408 Cores, HDMI/ 2x mini DisplayPort/ 2x DVI

get ATLEAST a 6970 or gtx 580. any less and your wasting your money.

also there is no need to spend over 1500 dollars for a pc to max out any game at 1080p
