New Gaming PC

Lets clear some stuff up.

first and formost, what res you gonna be doing is based on the monitor's native res.

so what is the native res of your monitor, and please post the first number of the res, the second number does not mean much depending, I'm assuring its 1900 x 1200/1080.

if that is the case you got some problems:

580 will do the same as 570 at that res, the 3GB of vram will make zero difference at that res.

Asetek will get beat by noctua and a70 coolers, and its not something I would recommend for somebody that wants to own a pc for 5 years and do no work on it.

change the psu to 1000w corsair and some other stuff:

Here you go Ticket# 566334 --- $2439 (To see this build click here)

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

this pc will have the same/better performance/reliability.

Looking over your build it does look better. Since I have $600 to play with is there anything you would upgrade?

there is nothing to do to make it perform better to be honest, unless you want to add teh second 570 now, personally I would wait and see if I need it, if not I would save taht money for a gpu upgrade in 2 years.

well there is one thing, go with stage 1 or 2 oc.

milkey H70 is not real LC, if you want LC you gonna want stage 3 or higher, the noctua/a70 will give you the same/better performance than h70.

LOL those stage 2 supposed lc system are really funny IMHO, real LC always does better then air cooling so when you see noctua and a70 beating these supposes lc systems, its really funny If I were these lc systems, I would be ashamed of myself
