A few questions for DST4ME.

First being the motherboard and overclock stage2. I see this being recomended alot. Is this that big a difference to get the ASUS P8Z68-V pro with the stage2 OC vs the ASUS P8P67 with stage1? How much affect is that really having?

Second is about RAM. I see with most recomended builds that you always recomend the 1600mhz ram. Is the 2000mhz not much better or just not worth it?

Lastly I also notice you tend to recomend the 1050w power supply. Is that needed over the 800w?

I don't know much about computers. I just know how to play games on them.

I'm sure this has all been answered many times before but I can't look through all the posts to find all the answers. Your time and advice is much apreciated.

Tho the p8p67 mobo does not support sli, it can do stage 2 oc higher, DS just does not like to do it on that mobo.

I like the extra oc (3.9GHz vs 4.6GHz), cause cpu is the brain of your pc and ocing it is like make you be able to think much much faster, so in just about everything it will matter in some games not so much, at higher res the gpu is more of a facter then cpu.

the z68 pro give you ability to go sli if needed in the future with a proper psu and a good oc.

As DGL said for gaming specially faster ram means nothing, so thats a waste and why I don't recommend it, if you want to benchmark and get the highest possible oc the cpu can get for a short time so you can get a high benchmark then highest ram is needed.

As for psu, I like to use quality one, where for ram I don't care much with brand, for psu its different, quality corsair psus are hx and ax models, only use those and I only recommend things I would use myself, what goes for me goes for everybody else also, now as DGL mentined the 1050hx has a 7 year warranty from corsair but DS's warranty is only 1 year parts.

Now if you know you have no use for sli whatsoever,and are fine with 3.9GHz oc I suggest you go with mobo you have and the 750w hx psu, if not then go with deluxe or z68 pro and the 1050hx.

your build looks good but to be sure you are not over spending we need to know What is the native resolution of the monitor you gonna be gaming at?

you nailed it on the head with that build IMHO, you just add a ssd, another 570 if res goes up and more gpu power is needed, and the 500gb hdd is simply the cheapest choice, right now hdd prices are very high so its not worth it to get the 1TB black caviar yet, so get that and add that as hdd2 later and use ssd as hdd1 and use the 500GB as a back up for ssd.

adding ssd/hdd is easy, you need to clone the hdd to ssd to move os/apps/games and etc all in one shot, after that clone your os drive to an external as a back up. (in this case if you follow what I said, you need is an external enclosure to put the 500GB hdd in).

My pleasure and good luck
