Hey,

Well i already ordered my custom rig, and i am on stage 5, however, i can just pay the 60 or so $'s to replace parts. I would like your opinions on it, and do you guys suggest anything to replace? Should I change the preferences, or should i just let it arrive? I appreciate it if DST4ME told me what he thinks of this rig. Also my budget is around $2700, no higher than $3000. I will be gaming on a 1920 x 1080 res, will this PC be able to handle games fine on this native res, lets say GTAIV. Will i be able to max it's settings with 60 FPS? Since this will be my first ATI card, how will it affect games that support PhysX, do i just turn that option off in games?

drop the gpu boost and os tweak.

if you want xp support go with win7 pro

drop the fan upgrade, its not needed with haf.

drop gpu to 1x 5870, at your res you will not notice the difference and also if you should need more gpu power down the line due to bigger monitor then add another 5870, 2 x 5870 is better then 1 x 5970.

if you can take the money from above changes and see if you can get a ssd, either from here or from newegg yourself, but only get models listed here.
