Perfect, thanks a lot.

What's an OcUK GTX 580?
And damn, that is a shitload of performance, although for such an expensive build, why not get a better PSU?
Just ordered, should arrive tomorrow!

Factory overclocked?

it's just a random offbrand they have lying around
Someone posted this earlier but apparently nobody clicked on the link.

It's Overclockers.co.uk generic non branded GTX 580.
I may also consider another PSU. The CPU cooler and other stuff is just temporary until I do a little research into an awesome water cooling setup. Milky's builds inspired me to have a go.
I say it Ace-us
For those of you that ordered CPU's and Motherboards from NewEgg, they've made some of them combo deals.

I'm with their customer support right now to see if I can get some money back since I ordered on Sunday.

Just got off the line with NewEgg live chat, the combo was [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.575884[/url].
They were able to credit me back $20 for the purchase, but the only way to get Civ 5 would be to cancel the entire order. $20 is more than enough for me, I love NewEgg!
:love: Newegg
Just talked to one of my friends, the representative he talked to sent the game without having to cancel the order! Time to raise hell in chat again.

I did some more complaining in the chat and they will send me the game without having to cancel my entire order now :D

Woah automerge.
Not that bad here, but I still didn't get anyhting today. UPS guy drove right by my house with my RAM and 1200 marked as "Our for Delivery" and didn't leave anything.
Fffffffffffff
How much power uses this?
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe, Socket-1155
Intel Core™ i5 Quad Processor i5-2500K
Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL8
AMD Sapphire HD5770 1GB
and a Creative Soundblaster Extreme audio.
Would an Corsair CX 500W PSU do the job?
They're shipping my build in 4 separate parts.
One from California (I'm on the East Coast)
and one shipment just for the coupon for the free games that came with my graphics card. :v:

Yes.
Mines on it's way now, should be here by the morning. It got sent out for delivery in just under 4 hours.
I love scan so much.
I'm so jealous of all of you. I won't be able to get myself a 2500K until May, but hopefully prices will have gone down and there will be more of a selection of motherboards and combos.

Living in California has [b]many[/b] advantages. Like how newegg always ships and delivers within 3 days.
Just ordered the i5-2500K and Asus P8P67 EVO. Can't wait to install this sucker.
...Is that an Optimus Maximus?
