I was thinking of getting the Asus Crosshair V Formula with the AMD 1100T 6 core processor.
I would like the Nvidia GTX 570.
I don't know what else is good for the money.
thanks for helping. :)
What are you planning to do with this build? Where are you located?
Don't go AMD for high end gaming or otherwise right now, many reasons why not but I'll leave it at that, if it's just for games you want something like:

Case is subjective, From scan £980 without OS.
I keep feeling the need to post that build GreenDolphin made for me in these threads haha. But I know everyone has their own tastes
Post it, he got a couple of things wrong in his build though without meaning to be arrogant.

It's abit over his £1000. Though it comes at about £1074 ish when you checkout.
It's definitely not a bad build, but you can get better, H60 performs worse than the NH-D14 and isn't quieter with stock fans, 850w not necessary, single fan card when you can get dual for the same price, overpaying for RAM, thermal paste
not necessary and 2600k is wasted money for gaming. Not to mention he couldn't fit an SSD in a £1,100 build, crazy.
Though I'm not just using my build for gaming, if you read my thread I mention that I'm also be using it for modelling, recording video game footage and UDK stuff, so I could use the extra power, even if it is slight. Though the NH-D14 doesn't fit on my CPU socket. But not sure if you were just using that as an example.
He did also suggest I do the whole SSD caching thing.
I'd be happy to see your suggested build and link it to me :)
In that case the 2600k is probably beneficial to you, and I wouldn't change much as I said the parts good already, but 850w is overkill, the NH-D14 does fit 1155 which is the 2600k unless I'm missing something so I'd get that, XMS3 RAM without stupid heatspreaders that do nothing, dual fan 570 for the same price as I said, no thermal paste and a nicer case.
That's about it.

Yeah I was definitely aware of this. It was only meant to be used as an example for that OPs specific needs until someone posted a better build for him. Also the NH-D14 costs around £65, a Titan Fenrir EVO performs the same and costs half as less at £35 from what I'm aware.

If that was true wouldn't everyone just buy the Titan Fenrir EVO?

H60 would fit in just below the H70 at around 50.5c
I must probably be doing something odd on my end then. Statistical reviews I'm finding online state that they perform nearly identical to each other, with the Titan sometimes leading ahead, for a large price difference. Although it definitely performs its job the price/performance ratio is rather high in comparison to similar performing coolers.
CPU coolers have a very deep logarithmic scale.
Get a i5 2500k if you're just gonna play games. Cuts the cost of an i7 2600k at least.
