What card u will choose? A 570 GTX like me?- :D Or do a 670... ;) But wouldn't get a 680, is taking lot more energy, and let's be more environment-friendly. ;) 8)

And why soooo expensive case? And I have an ASUS Mobo, why u want a MSI one? Reason?

16 GB RAM? U crazy? :D

Btw I'd go for some i5 CPU.

680 has a new chip-set, and is more powerful...wanted top-o-dah line baby.

Got a good deal on the case, like 20-30 dollars off. I know its expensive, but eh.

Got another good deal on the MSI one, it was cheaper.

16GB of RAM, yus, I am crazy :D

On EBAY now for a fantastic deal on the i7-3770k, might get it for half off :D

Future-proofing. I want this sucker to last me a long, long time. I'm just hoping the PSU will be able to give enough juice and keep enough headroom to be stable. Fingers crossed.


And I found a camera, but no SD card. Ill keep looking for one.

Also, question-I am being pressed into buying Corsair Link, is it necessary? As far as I have seen, I can get readings off of things using free programs as opposed to paying a hundred dollars on a piece of hardware.

850W will give you loads of headroom with a single GPU config. Also if you're going with the 600 series, their power efficiency is great, so no worries there really.

If all corsair link does is monitor temps, you don't need it... Most case fans run at 100% or you can change them in BIOS. If you have an MSI mobo with UEFI (or whatever it is :P ) then you will have "control centre" which allows you to change fan speeds, and see temps of all components and even the mainboard. So no you don't need it :)

Ok, thanks for the input brother, and yeah the Mobo has UEFI. Ill save that hundred dollars and use it on something else.


Just won an Ebay Auction, got the 680 for 410 Dollars :D

Cause it's a nice case designed for high performance machines. I personally think the Cooler Master HAF line is the best, but to each his own. I have a HAF 932 Blue Edition. I paid the full price for mine, all $180 for it.

Not bad. I think I may do some Ebay shopping for another 7970 after I start my new job.

Btw, did you go with the Razer Lycosa?

Hmmm... possibly if it's in Full HD and maybe even in 3D (does that even exist already? xD )
And sharpie, you said it already, "for music and VIDEOS", and we all know of course what type/kind of "VIDEOS" you mean by that... -.- xD *facepalm* :p
