Ask DS specifically for this fan to be added to the top, so you endup with 4 x 200mm fans:

haf 200mm non led fan

Ask for vcore lower then 1.4 for your oc.

you can drop the psu lower but then in the future if you want to upgrade the sli to future cards and they have needs of a 580 sli the 750w can't do it.

Answers:

adding ssd is very easy and you clone to move everything in one shot from hdd to ssd.

you can follow my clone guide here

which 570 you go with depends on what your res is gonna be.

DS can put in whatever you like however:

a. the 1TB WD BC is chosen for its speeds that other drives don't have, including the 500GB BC.

b. as mentioned before prices of hdds are high right now, you gonna pay what you normally pay for a 1TB for a 500GB right now, aka less speed/space for the same money.

now my questions:

my build above is based on yorr res being 1900 x 1200, if your res is higher or lower, my config will change, so What is the native resolution of the monitor you gonna be gaming at? (if you want me to build a pc that will support your monitor upgrade, I will need to know the res of that monitor).

I am in your situation with putting an old drive in a new machine and I will yell you what I was told. You will have no problems just plug it in and delete what you dont want and keep what you do. It is extreamly easy to add or remove a drive it will take less than 2 mins of your time. VCORE is the voltage going to your cpu...the faster an overclock the more voltage required. The down side is if you go above 1.4 the life of the cpu tends to go down.

Good luck with your build!

Heh I guess I am better at helping others than myself

Thanks for the help everyone.  I ordered my new computer last night.  In the bottom of the request (in the space with limited characters) I requested the vcore 1.4 and the fan.

Hopefully I'll get the computer soon.

Any idea when the price of hard drives might be coming down?

Once again thanks for all of your help.
