Need some advise

Before I change stuff, let me tell you that getting a 580 does not mean your pc will play all games at highest settings and good aa, as a matter of fact, if the 570 can't do it, the 580 can't either, in most cases.

In short, you want to have teh best shot of playing all games at highest settings at that res, you gonna want sli 570.

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

even in sli 570/580 can't play all games at highest with good aa, some games like metro will need more.

when intel gen 3 comes out add that as hdd1.

the 2600K is much better then the 950, its not even a contest, the B3 infront of the motherboard means that the mobo is the new version and does not suffer from the sata issue.

the pics here are misleading a bit, you have to read the fine print under the pic, in short the case is not blue like the pic, it has one led fan and that is the front 200mm red led fan, so since that fan is red, I gave it the red light, if you want it to be blue you have to ask DS specifically to change the front 230mm red led fan with this blue 230mm led fan:

haf blue led 230mm fan

then you can choose blue light, btw the haf x can fits another one of those big fans on the top, so ask DS to add a 200mm fan to the top panel also, now keep in mind the front fan I talked about earlier is a 230mm fan, the rest of haf x fans are 200mm so the one to add to the top is this one:

haf 200mm non led fan

however if you want it blue led then its this one:

haf blue led 200mm fan
