I don't think the Samsung 840 SSD is a bad choice, but the 830 is a better performer, as is the OCZ Vertex 3. If you can get your hands on an 840 Pro, then that will give you the best SSD performance.

Your PSU is overkill, unless you plan on running two video cards in the future.

Okay cool. And yes I do plan to run dual cards in about 6 months

No reason to choose NV now with AMD single GPU cards ruling the land and from what I see 670 FTW is a faster card and 60 dollars cheaper.


ALSO NOTE a cooler master evo is a great cooler but it has no business in a high end build

Use this site: www.newegg.com

Unless you don't like the size, get a 27" with 2560x1440. More eye candy.

+1 for the GTX670. It's only ~6% behind the GTX680 (you wouldn't be able to see the difference) but a fair bit cheaper. It's really the only high-end card that I'd say can justify its cost. 7970 and GTX680 are overpriced for what they deliver.

yea i like this. there is no need to spend $190 on a mb when the extreme4 will fit your needs. you could go cheaper on the psu. i would also on get 1 670 first to see if you actually need 2 in sli.

+1 to this. It'll also be cheaper if you grab the second GTX670 a year down the line.
