Uhm, 12 gigs ram.
Are you stupid?
I've never had to use above 4gigs and I'm running every game that's come out and my hardware is about 2004-2010 esq parts, mostly 2006.
So what are you going to do with 12 gigs of ram? Run a nasa realtime orbital calculation simulator with simulated gravity for half the galaxy?
Surely a 570 couldn't run BF3 and Skyrim maxed?
For fuck sake, you people can't get this into your head, If i have the money for 12GB of RAM regardless of if i use it or not does it really matter?

Well then, be my guest and waste your fucking money.
Alrighty then, I think its time to close this bad boy of a thread
I'd say get 8GB RAM and a i5 2500K. The LGA1366 is going to be obsolete with in a short time due to LGA2011 coming out, and i7 960 is worse than the 2500K in games. The 2500K overclocks much better aswell, so really, it's a much better choice. You should get one GTX 570 in my opinion, and simply SLI when you see that it isn't enough. XFX makes great 750W PSUs at a small price point, and it'll do SLI GTX 570 with room to spare. Get a Samsung Spinpoint F3 and a Hyper 212+ cooler for overclocking (unless you want to push it farther). A small SSD would be a nice addition aswell. Choose yourself a case, or get someone else's advice on one here.
I don't know how everybody ended up bitching in this thread, but oh well.
Beats me bud, but thanks for the heads up. I'll do it
Fuck, last thing i need to ask motherboard.... what to get for the i5 2500k and 8GB RAM
Do you have an australian site we can use? We can recommend you a motherboard without knowing prices. Would be easier if you gave us the whole budget and a site to choose from.

My i5-2500K, 570, 4 gigs of ram rig ran it PERFECTLY FUCKING MAXED IN THE ALPHA TEST.

framerate? anti aliasing? resolution?
I got 45-50fps outside and 60+ fps inside for the BF3 Alpha, on a Q6600 @ 3.5GHz and 6950 1GB @ 1920x1080 (highest settings it allowed)
I doubt Skyrim will be a GPU killer. Can't be sure about BF3 since that was only the alpha and there is still much to add..

The buget is roughly $1500-2000, and if you could I'd appriciate you to use [url]http://msy.com.au/[/url]
[Select any branch ill sort it out later]
Only do this if you got the time though man :)

The next one with a higher wattage advisabe to use is an Antec at 900W, which is a bit overkill. It's only 30$ extra, so you might want to get it if you plan to use this PSU for future builds too. For SLI GTX 570s with overclocking, a good 750W like this is more than good enough.

Case and cooler is something you have to decide on yourself, or get advice from someone else, as it isn't really my field. The HAF series is supposed to be good, though they look a little rice. Gentle Typhoons are supposedly great fans aswell, and for a CPU cooler [url=http://msy.com.au/product.jsp?productId=1341]this one[/url] is apparently pretty decent. I'm pretty sure you can get better for a bit more, though.
GTX 570 will definitely be fine for Skyrim/BF3, these games aren't using any brand new amazing technology that will cripple a system, chances are they will be on par performance wise with Metro/Crysis2 /w Dx11.

That cooler is meant to be cheap, not good.

I wrote pretty decent, doesn't mean marvelous/fantastic. Either way I also noted that that's not really my field. Critizising is fine but suggest something aswell, since it's not really helping OP.

I'm planning on getting a corsair 850w PSU, It looks pretty sturdy, all 80+ certified and whatnot, as for the case im looking at the DF-35
Other than that, I thank you for the help getting the parts ^^

600 dollar dollar
fucking currency signs how do they work
Get a modular psu if you're spending all that money anyways

That's cool, but I doubt you'll be using more than 750W. You could look into an SSD, too.
