check out ode 1, its got more power then you need at that res, but if your res changes then you may need upgrades that ode 1 can't do.

so i won t be able to upgrade it in the future ? i kinda want to buy somthing thats going to last awile and the most powerful i can afford im a little confused about the graffic cards is the 580 really worth that much or should i cut back in this area and im not sure which mother board is the best match with the ram the Rampage III Extreme (Intel X58 Chipset) says it supports 2000 mhz would that be a better buy for future upgrades of the ram ? thankyou for your advice ! |

you can upgrade ode 1, but not to dual sli, is that what you are looking for?
like I said forget your config, its not even the right platform, that is the old platform, you need to be on the p67 platform with the 2600k, which is what ode 1 offers, you can do all kinds of upgrade to it minus dual sli. Edited by DST4ME - 21 Sep 2011 at 7:17pm |

That is ok for ssd I would go with intel 320 or crucial m4 or c300.
but the 800w psu puts a limit on gpu upgrades, it cant' handle sli 580, so in the future if the gpu upgrades has the need of sli 580, then the 800w can't do it. not crazy about your mobo, upgrade fan is pointless. |

Almost but no cigar, drop the pointless fan upgrade and instead add the A70 cpu cooler then go to oc stage 2.
ocing the cpu is the one thing that makes the most difference in your pc's performance. |

The fan upgrade does not change all the fans, the haf x has front 230mm red led fan, the fan upgrade is six 120mm fans, and the front mentioned led fan does not get replaced, they are also louder then the stock fans, you will endup with the red led front fan and then 6 smaller, louder blue led fans.
if you want blue led fans ask DS specifically to change all the fans in the case to this one: haf 200mm blue led fan these fans are the blue led version of the stock fan, but you need to make sure to ask DS to change the front red 230mm led fan with the above 200mm blue led fan. then you need to ask them to also change the side and top fan non led fans with the one from above.' last ask them to also add the fan from above to the second optional fan slot in the top. now you should end up with a haf x with four 200mm blue led fans, one on side, one on front, two on top. they use the make a hafx blue version that had all 3 fans in blue, but for some reason they stopped making it. stage 2 will be fine and stable, DS tests their systems and does not send out unstable systems, but on this platform and with that cpu and the a70, stage 2 oc is easily done with good temps. to beat the a70/noctua you need to go to stage 4 lc, and again with this platform its not necessary.

Thats a solid beast, don't forget that it can support sli 570/580's requierments
 so future gpu upgrades are wide open, and gpu upgrades are the heaviest upgrade power wise.

In one of my previous posts:
so that is something you need to take into account. the 1050hx has a 7 year warranty and its a much better psu then the midgrade 800gs. |

Not sure what you mean, many different companies make the 570, evga is my favorite, also no they don't have to be the same brand.

As long as they are both stock you should be fine, personally I like to match my card, so just ask DS or request them to use a stock evga and then get an evga yourself.
