You could probably get a 6870 for the same price as the 560.
I like Corsair RAM.
Cool case.

 

thanks, anyone else?

and i can't seem to find that can you give me a link to it on newegg? thanks

 

oh found it, my motherboard is a pci express 2.0 x 16, the 6870 is 2.1 x 16.

thanks though, love any help i can get!

 

You could always bump the 560 up to a 560ti. A bit more expensive but it's worth it.

 

The 6870 will work. As long as your not using a 1.0 mobo you are fine. 2.1 is backwards compatible with 2.0.

 

anyone used this processor or the 4170?

 

More RAM the better I say, also is it worth waiting for the new Windows?

 

well 8gb of ram is PLENTY but my main issue is i have had mixed opinions on whether or not i should get the intel i3 or the fx 4170 or fx4100

 

Yeah the 8GB of ram is solid. The processor depends on what you want to use the rig for, for everyday use and non gaming, the AMD performs well but for gaming, intel always tops out. Dont forget to make sure the socket on the mobo fits whatever chip you pick =)

 

now an i5

 

Great choice and well worth it man =) make sure its the 2500k

 

dont worry it is, i also have the radeon 7850 by asus

 

I'm in love with the NZXT cases. They're sexy and cool.

Your heatsink looks like a stock one. I recently upgraded to a Zalman heatsink and I'm in love with not only its performance but its style.

Re-link them all, ya did it wrong =p

 

Make sure you actually get a SATA cable to connect the harddrive to the motherboard. You are buying the bare drive, so it doesn't come with one.

 

99% of the time the mobo's come with 1-4 sata cables.. Mine was a cheapy and it even came with 2 .

 

Your current build is VERY good but save your money by pirating window 7 ultimate and burn the iso on a 4gb or higher usb an use a window 7 activator, is basically the same thing, use your spare money for a p67 lga 1155 motherboard and a i5 2500k. the rest are perfect.
