The 600T case is a great case with it's 200mm fans, but the HafX case is a bit better with another 200mm fan on the side blowing onto gpu's.. The 600T is the ODE case, just different color, and the ODE cases work great, so...
 
The i7-2700k does nothing over the i7-2600k.
 
Upped psu to 1050HX to handle sli, 2x gtx 570's, which is needed to max out games on ultra settings with your 24" monitor.  The single 580 won't do it.
 
Gave you a larger SSD and the 520 series, newer than the 510.
 
Put in the D14 air cooler, the tops in cooling for that chip and stage 2 overclocking.  Stage 3 cooling is not real water cooling, the D14 better.  If you really want hydro cooling, then the H100 would be better, but the D14 is very reliable and does the job...No pump, fan control or cooling tubes to go bad.  They both have fans, but those are reliable.
 
Dropped the performance fans.  All they do is replace slow rpm, high airflow fans for higher rpm and noisier fans.  They mess with a great cooling setup.
 
Overclocking the gpu is never recommended.  Too much stress for little gain.
 
Oooops...I forgot your free t-shirtCry
 
New Nvidia cards are real close to being released, so it might be worth the wait to check out price/performance, but the 570's are real good.
 
See what you think and Good LuckBig%20SmileBig%20Smile

can't wait to see testing, especially 680 vs sli 570, the old standard until now.  If it's priced like 7970 but beats it by a good margin then we have a winner.  A single GTX 680 needs to max gaming at 1920x1050,  otherwise it's still a sli setup.  I"ll say it doesBig%20SmileBig%20SmileBig%20Smile

The rumors I've seen make it likely a single 680 can drive that resolution at max or near max settings, depending on the game of course.  I should wait until someone does a benchmark on 680 sli vs. other cards (Tom's?) before I buy.

I've heard it will come in 2GB and 4GB versions.  I've got a 2.5GB tri 570 sli driving a triple 3600 X 1980 monitor setup, so I don't really need to change it for performance reasons.  For coolness factor though, that's another matter! HahahaLOL

You should buy 3 680's and send me your old, dusty 570's, to check out.
