May get 2 more later if needed.

May get another 1 and run 2 or a different GPU.


I still need a HD and case, a full tower is what I'm looking for.

Thanks for anything you guys can mention.

MoBo / CPU - The Asrock boards only come with a 1 year warranty, the upped it to 2 years on the B3 P67 ones after the recall.....I'd want a industry standard 3 year warranty. This Asus P9P67 Pro combo gets ya three years at the same price.

Case / PSU - I'd suggest:

Antec DF-85 ($170) w/ CP-850 ($120) or HAF-X ($180) w/ Corsair AX750 ($170) ..... if ya like the Seasonic's you'd want the X series Seasonic X-850 . Both cases are great for performance systems tho, having built with both, I have to give the edge to the DF (not to mention the $60 price difference). All three PSU's are 1st tier, get 10.0 performance ratings from jonnyguru and will handle twin video cards.

RAM - The Corsairs are lower profile and much cheaper for the same specs ($68)

I'd move up to a current generation card. The factory OC'd 560 Ti's are the best bang for the buck available for 1920 x 1200 ($220).

HD - For generic performance oriented 1TB, there is no "best", pick the one that best fits your applications.

are you looking for saving money, monster performance, looks, quiet ... ?

Looking to run The Old Republic on High and then continue using this comp for future gaming. Saving money would be nice but I'd take performance over savings.
