• New build; Can someone check this?
    13 replies, posted
So I finally have enough money to afford a proper new PC, I picked these parts but I'd appreciate it if someone would check/give advice on this. I'm planning to play some of the games coming out soon, and am also doing video editing/heavy photoshopping. [img]http://vps.marlamin.nl/build.png[/img] If you have any recommendations for other parts, the preferred site is [url]https://www.alternate.nl/html/highlights.html?tn=HARDWARE[/url] The monitor I currently have is quite tiny, so any advice regarding a monitor would be welcome. Price is not really an issue, but I don't want/need a 30 inch or something overly expensive like that.

get a hyper 212+ over the d14 i would also say spend the extra ~60 on a ud5 over the p8p67 deluxe, better for dual cards, but i don't think gigabyte boards have UEFI yet, which is a con to some

The UD5 isn't available yet as rev 3.
I have the D14, it's a great cooler even with stock fans. Sandy Bridge is supposed to run pretty damn cool, if you want to spend the extra $$ on it, make sure you have the case space for it (600t should fit it?). Most RAM heatspreaders aren't tall enough to hit the 120, but you can easily raise that.

And ordered, sadly I couldn't use the XFX PSU because even though it says its in stock it's actually not. :saddowns:
what PSU did you go with then you won't be able to SLi 570s on a 650w
Got the Corsair 750HX, if this ain't enough for SLI I guess I'll have to get a replacement in the future.
That should probably be enough for SLI.
should work but you'll be cutting it close, I wouldn't overclock the 570s on it but the 2500k shouldn't have any problems
Allrighty, thanks for the advice.
