I haven't bought anything yet but these are the components im thinking of for the build.
CPU: Intel i5 3570k
Heat Sink: Thermaltake Contac 30 Direct Contact Heatpipe Heatsink LGA2011/1366/1156/1155 FM1/AM3/AM2+ 120MM Fan
Motherboard: Gigabyte z77x-ud5h
Memory: Corsair XMS CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB 1X4GB DDR3-1333 CL9-9-9-24 DIMM Memory Module
Hardrive: 120GB Mushkin Chronos SSD
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SE Fermi 776MHZ 1GB 3828MHZ GDDR5 SLI DVI Mini-HDMI HDCP PCI-E DX11 Video Card

Chasis: Thermaltake Commander ATX Mid Tower Case 3X5.25 1X3.5 5X3.5INT No PS
I am using a 24x lightscribe dvd rw drive, a 500GB barracuda HDD, 250 Hitachi HDD, 4Gb of kinston hyper X ram, and a 7.1 Sound blaster live! sound card from my old system.
I am going to buy more fans, and another gpu later on. This pc will be usually used for gaming and school work, with the occasional light video/photo editing. Already have an os. Would like feedback
I am also looking to overclock this thing, if anyone can point me in the right direction as im only mildy familiar with overclocking. Any reply will be greaatly appreciated.
