Budget:
2.5k Expectations: I've been searching for great desktop for gaming and I expect my money would be worth to spend on what digitalstorm can offer. Usage: Games like BF3, MMORPG's, Videos, Etc Special Needs: The games i'll plan should beplayable at ultra settings, I did select 2gpu=gtx570 1.2gb.. I'm just not sure if the 800 watts is good enuf, and the system memory are fine. I know games like BF3 would require powerful gpu, I would not be bothered If I can play it on High Settings too. Do I need to ask to OC it? Saved Ticket #: 664557 Specifications: I'm open to any suggestions. |

The 800W would be good enough but this gives you room to grow and has 7 year warranty. Gave you overclocking stage 2 with the D14 cpu cooler, the best air cooler. The two together with your cpu can easily handle the oc safely. Check it out and Good Luck.

Welcome to the forums, lexogee.
Taking a look, you could feasibly upgrade to the GTX 570 2.5 GB for a little more bang for your buck, and stay within your budget (minus shipping cost, which would put it over by somewhere around $50, if you can swing that). Otherwise, without your intended monitor resolution, it's hard to give more info on the video cards used. Two 570s will get you ultra settings on a non-3D 1920x1080 resolution monitor, if I'm not mistaken. |

For that resolution you could almost get by with a single gtx 570 2.5GB card. Two in sli would probably be overkill, but give you room to go 1920x1050 if you ever wanted.
