Maybe swap out the i5 for an i5 2500k. It is just cheaper and has identical specs to the ivy bridge variant

Aside from that, it all looks good. But, you might want to add windows 7 and a COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus Just to make sure that your CPU is at a proper temp at all times

I've already got a copy of windows 7, and i've swapped the 3570k for the 2500k and the cooling that you recommended

With a serial code? Just making sure... As of right now, this is pretty top notch, I'll look over it one more time to see if there are any other things though

Yep! I bought a new copy in advance, i've also heard some people complaining about AMD drivers, would I be better off with an nvidia gpu? I've also heard SLI is better than crossfire if i added another card in the future

I really have always heard that AMD had better drivers. Maybe they were wrong? If not, it really isn't much of a big deal. Radeon is still cheaper and faster

this is true the nvida control panel is just hands down easier to turn on sli and adjust everything. Also the gtx 660ti will perform better then the radeon 7850.

Why such a big HDD? Just to store more games?

I'll stick with AMD then, and as i'm still well within my budget i'm tempted to swap my current HDD for the 10000 rpm VelociRaptor HDD, or maybe get some more cooling
