everything is nice and shinny. See if you can get a cheaper but as good motherboard and up your ssd (crucial 128gb).
The motherboard you chose is so new that i cannot give you any good or bad comment on it. Only that asrock extreme4 gen3 might be cheaper and give you all the asus does. The 570 runs hot, keep that in mind. Explore possibilities of 6950x2 or 6970x2. Your PSU should be enough, but i may advise for a 1000watts since you are watercooling and the 6970s add more power draw. Compare performance of your chosen cooler to Xigmatek Aegir/Zalman x10 performa/Corsair A70 and H80

Thanks for the advice, apparently the 6970's in crossfire are crashing alot? Especially in battlefield 3

Be careful of the PSU, I could be wrong, which I suspect, but you're trying to power 2 570s, and a cpu, with 900W. Not sure if that's enough. I could be wrong though so PLEASE DO NOT BASE JUDGEMENTS OFF OF ME.

 

[Dogs666]

Hmm. What pay would you get

 

[Dogs666]

What psu sorry, I'm on my iPad and it automatically corrects everything
