Hi, I have been visiting tomshardware (aswell as a few other places) for the past month or so to plan my first PC gaming rig. I would like to see myself playing Battlefield 3, Skyrim, SW:TOR on full graphics, with a SLI tri-screen set-up if I were to upgrade 2 x GPU.

So I figure what better place to ask for a little clarity on whether my weeks of research of paid off at all, i'm really only looking for someone with a decent bit of experience in the PC industry to give me a thumbs up or a blunt bit of advise... Whatever gets me set with getting a fresh PC I won't have to update for a while

Here goes:


Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Case: COOLER MASTER Storm Scout SGC-2000-KKN1-GP Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Regarding the build I have a few queries:

Will my Mobo have a slot for a SSD HD?

Does the PSU & Case seem appropriate for the hardware listed above, I am making a mistake by not including extra cooling?

Would you recommend a different Manufacturer of GPU, Mobo, CPU?

Any help/advise would be hugely appreciated !

I'd drop your RAM down to 8, you'll never you 8 even if ur just gaming.
I'd also drop the 2600k to the 2500k as there is no difference if your just gaming and use the money to get a even better GPU. 580 or 6870 X2 <-- THis is better btw
