Hello, I've been having second thoughts about one of my computer builds and whether not to buy it. I've thought about it for a while and i still cant figure out what to do. My first build was approved by you guys but now i think i might downgrade the graphics card to a 560 ti. Im also worried the the ram wont work in the build but I probably just overlooked something. I will be buying this in about 10 days. Below are both of the builds.
Intel Core i5-2500K

ASUS P8P67 (REV 3.0)

In this build everything is fine but like I said im having second thoughts on the higher priced graphics card.
Here is the second build.
CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB (2 x 2GB)
LITE-ON DVD Burner
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3
ASUS P8P67 (REV 3.0)
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus
Corsair TX750 V2 Power Supply
EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=02G-P3-1568-KR&family=GeForce%20500%20Series%20Family&sw=
Corsair Special Edition White Graphite Series 600T
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139005
Going to the second build i save about $150 to put into the OS and anything else. I know the psu is an overkill but there is a very high chance I will get a second card for sli down the road. And will cooling be an issue? Also what thermal paste should I use.
The summary is im leaning towards the cheaper build to save a few bucks. The 560Ti will be fine for Crysis 2 if i can play it on a $100 graphics card then i should be able to play it on the ti just fine.
Questions- What sound card should I add onto the cheaper build with a budget of about $50?
What headphones without a mic be could to use to for listening to music in high quality? I was thinking the bose AE2
And what other random *** could i add onto this![Smile :) :)](/data/assets/smilies/smile.gif)
