:non:
GTX 670 is all you need, now with the i5-3570K the GTX 680 if you can still afford
would be killer....!

it's the size that's I question and if it will block RAM slots..
 
True he could always buy low profile ram but i think the Evo would be cheaper option although it blocks one slot on my neighbor rig not sure if it does that with everybody though.

^ Thanks, it really is quite shocking isn't it, Hope they do better with piledriver, really liked the phenom II's when they 1st came out, but just found myself upgrading to 2600k to keep up.
