First Performance Build. Thoughts please

[wilky87]

Hi everyone. First of all id like to say that this forum has been a huge help to me. Thanks.

This is my first time building a performance pc and I would appriciate any help or thoughts with my build.

Intel core i5 3570k
Stock cooling

AsRock Z77 extreme 4 motherboard

16GB Corsair Vengence LP 1600

2x Asus AMD Radeon 7950 in crossfire

1TB Barracuda 64Mb cache 7200rpm

Dvd RW

700W Corsair Mudular PSU

All inside a Corsair 200r

I only have the 2 case fans that come with the 200r and cooling/airflow is my main concern

looks good. but if your GPU budget is around 500-600$ i would recommend a R9-290X instead. it should be about 4-5% better with less hassle.

Thanks alot. The reason I bought the 9750s is I got one for free from a relative. I know it will not be long into the future before I need to upgrade the gpus, I just the build will handle current games and not get to hot
