If you are going to be overclocking, you'll need a better cooler. I suggest:

750w is what you want to power dual 560's.

AND on the cooler, thanks, might get that, or might go a bit higher, whats the next best cooler for like a 4.6ghz oc?

 

[siege_templar]

Thermaltake Frio for a few dollars more, or if you can find it...the Scythe Mugen 3. Otherwise your going to spend a small fortune.

All those Gen3 boards I linked up above all have the PCI-E 3.0 slots.

 

[siege_templar]

Thanks, but the AsRock boards only have 1 pcie gen 3 slot, and the msi board has to as well as 1 more pcie gen 2, i may got to a 3 way card setup down the track.

 

[siege_templar]

Those 2 coolers you said, costs a bit 2 much 4 me. but i saw this for $59, the noctala NH-U9B-SE2 or however it is spelled...
btw most my prices are from here http://cpl.net.au/pdf/page1.pdf
and CHEERS.

I'm not sure how you got that. For example if you click the link to that extreme3 gen3 board to pccasegear and read the specs it says right on there: 2 x PCI-Express 3.0 next to "Slots".

 

[siege_templar]

i am so good at reading....
I am more going towards the msi boards for the mb features... likeoc genuine and those other ones....
