I already have a huge pc case, so if there is a more efficient cooler for the cpu, feel free to suggest

Looks good and your PSU will handle it fine. The CM hyper 212+ is a good cooler for the price.

 

[aznshinobi]

Looks solid! Get this MB though.

It's cheaper and better.

PCI Express 3.0, SLI Capable, SLI Bridge, I think it has UEFI, not too sure, sleek black. And you can upgrade to Ivy bridge if you want to.

 

[aznshinobi]

Gives you better parts on the board, allows for future SLI or Crossfire, allows for PCI-E 3.0 for future proofing. Board is DDR3 1600 capable, will OC more and overall just a better placed MB.

 

[Nigelfrost]

Its $30 more but earthwatts 650w is a better choice

Well I'll be buying it now so thanks for all the advice and I am scared!
I'll let you guys know how its running in a week or so!

@nigelfrost. I already own the PSU and I was told it will run it. If not, I'll get one more powerful.

Thanks for your input. I just would like to know if my 500w can handle the oc 560ti. If not, i doubt its worth buying the PSU that comes with the other motherboard.

That board is meant for someone wanting to eventually run dual vid cards so it probably wouldn't be a board you would want to choose if you plan on using a 500w psu. A single card board would suit you better imo.

I don't know how many amps your psu has or how old it is so I'm not sure if it would push that card or not.

Might be a stupid question, but if I buy the singlecard-motherboard instead of the dualcard motherboard, will the psu(500w) run the 560ti more likely?

 

[aznshinobi]

Yes. For sure.

Any 1155 board will be fine for that card. I just looked up that psu of yours and you shouldn't have any problems at all running that card. This is from the Nvidia site for those gtx 560ti's.

500 Watt or greater power supply (Minimum recommended power supply with +12 Volt current rating of 30 Amps.

Newegg has single card 1155 P67 and Z68 boards for around $100

Alright, I bought the system, built it together and I've been using it for 2 weeks now. I have to say that the cpu is amazing. I underestimated it's performance.
I can play BF3 BETA at ultra settings with stable 30+ fps and cpu @ 3.3ghz is only running 60% usage.

So as soon as I get the money, I'll probably upgrade my psu and get another 560ti.


I wanted to thank you all again because I'm not sure if I would've purchased this without your reassuring help.
