Ok, in that case I've changed it back to the $20 cheaper regular EVGA 580. It is out of stock though. I hope it will be back in stock by the time I order it.

Do you guys think I should go with a different motherboard (And if possible could you recommend a good one in that price range?)

[QUOTE=Dr Nick;26064830]No but at nearly twice the RPM, it'll be a lot better. It's also designed for performance and has a much better warranty than a Caviar Green.[/QUOTE] RPM isn't everything. Memory density is a huge factor.
Do you guys think I should get the GTX580, a GTX470, or just wait and get a GTX570 in november?

As for what GPU to get, if I were in your position I would get the 580 without any regrets.
I'm still getting the 580 now, and I want to order this all friday, but I need some more people to look over it and I need more advice on some things. First of all, do I really need 6GBs of tri-channel RAM? Could I save some money and just get 4GBs of dual channel RAM? Second, I need a different case. Upon reading more of the reviews for the one I have on my list now, I found out it has problems with grounding (Any static shock to the case causes it to shock the motherboard and shut down the computer), so I'm looking for a good case with good airflow, a similar amount of space (Or more) to the one I have on my list now, a lot of fans coming with it (And space to add in more, preferably) that doesn't have problems with grounding, as well as having a maximum price of $110. EDIT: Nevermind about the case's grounding issues. If you guys do know of a better case, tell me though.

[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;26251845]I really don't see how this could happen if you put the standoffs in correctly.[/QUOTE] Nevermind, I read more reviews and found out that it was only a few people who had the problem.
How much more will it cost to get one more stick of RAM? If it's only like $20-30 I'd go for it.
It looks like I won't be getting the PC for a few more weeks, so I have enough time to make sure that I get everything right. I've switched my case to a full tower, the Cooler Master HAF 932, a full tower, because it is on discount and has much more space and better airflow. It also only costs $30 more. And also, the cost for one more stick of RAM is about $30-$60 or more, depending on what brand you buy from.
