I know its over budget but I only recommend quality parts.

as for your gpu the 570 is the one thats best for that res but 560 can push it, 460 is not the best choice imo.

Its brand name so I know what I'm getting, and it has its own 5 year warranty, the other psu has a reser sticker on it (technps) and a 2 year warranty, I dont' really know who makes that psu.

My pleasure and good luck

470 is a previous generation card. On your budget grab a 6950.

ok. at this point i have no idea which gpu to get. from what ive read the 560 ti has lots of problems but ive also heard that the 6950 has issues with Starcraft II which is the game I primarily play. Any advice? I am lost. haha

ok. i went with the 560. i purchased the build around 4:30 PST. When can i expect my order status to appear through support. I assume tomorrow sometime when the order is processed?

so apparently the 560 is unavailable.at this point im thinking im just going to upgrade to the 570. will my power supply and cooling still be adequate?

ok. so this is becoming increasingly frustrating. instead of spending the extra money to get the 570 i decided to with the 6950. this is not the problem. the problem is that ive now been informed that the case i want is also not available with no eta just as the 560 ti is available with no eta. this seems ridiculous to me. my question is what cases that i can choose from will have equivalent air flow and cooling as the haf 922 but arent a huge increase in price? 

The only thing I will point out is that the haf 922 blue does not allow us to add the side fan for better air flow and 3 x 200mm fans.

My advise is wait and get what you want, I had to wait months for certain things to comeout, but at the end I got what I wanted and I had to wait many many months.

I had to wait 4 months just for the mobo to come out, then another month for the water block for the mobo, dont' even get me started about waiting on 4 x 295 single pcb versions.

at the end, DS wants to sell us what we want, but if their contacts at CM or corsair can't fill their orders fast enough, there is nothing they can do.

if you can find the case and gpu, buy it and send it to DS, they will us that.

Ask DS specifically for this fan to be added to the side, so you endup with 3 x 200mm fans:

haf 200mm non led fan


that will cost $20 installed.

sorry I forgot to mention I guess.
