A very solid build! Only thing I would say is that it would be better to get an ivy bridge, perhaps an 3570k?

 

[Solstice]

That's a thought...Its only 20$ more. But I heard when overclocking, sandy bridge out performs ivy bridge.

 

[Edsterr]

Not necessarily, ivy bridge still OCs but gets a lot hotter when doing so. You won't be able to get an IB to the same level as an SB without water-cooling, but you should be able to get it (the 3570k) to about 4.5GHz (as opposed to 4.8GHz with the 2500k). IBs also use newer technology so it is future-proofing in a way.

I think soon we might need cooling systems like car radiators for these new CPU's.

Seems a nice build, I was thinking about building a PC that was pretty much this exact spec, except he had the GTX 560 Ti with less cores and a Corsair 600 instead :3

So in terms of compatibility and all its fine? That's whats really important here... Will i have all the necessary ports,slots,etc to make this build a success? Thanks in advance.

PS: Thinking of downgrading CPU Cooler to a CM 212+ EVO since im not doing any hardcore overclocking...maybe 4.0 Ghz, with that extra money i plan on getting a EVGA GTX 570 HD (Great Reviews) What you guys think?
