now you can go 4GB of ram if you like. win7 64bit says it wants 2GB, with socket 1366 we got 6GB of ram so this was not a big deal, but with the new socket and 4GB, I'm not sure if that is enough or not.

this system is build to support another 570 should you need to add it.


you got a 160GB ssd, the setup is:

HDD1 = fast small drive: os/apps/games

HDD2 = regular large drive: media/personal/work file storage


If you think a 80GB is enough for all that then drop the ssd to 80GB.

I gave you the haf 942 cause it has dust filters. but if you clean your case once a week, dust filters would be pointless IMO.

haf has better airflow then 800d, 800d is more for LC systems IMO.

there is a 10 to 15 fps gain with the 580 in some games, however its not worth the extra $200. sli 570 will be about $100 more then a single 580.


the above build is just an idea, tell me what you think and we can change stuff around.

I think there will be a new format out before everything moves over, you can always drop one of those in yourself later.

My pleasure and good luck

if oyu have anymore questions just ask
