Sounds ok just a change or two try a Noctua NH-D14 instead of the H100, See if you can get Mushkin ram instead of the Corsair the Asus Board is probably the best pick and for video card try an MSI lightning don't worry about the 3gig models hope this helps

Any opinion/advice helps ! Is is a good very good or meh oky build ? if mushkin ram are better i will switch to mushkin. Ill try and find a MSI lighthing. I read around 5 reviews or so in wich H100 beat NHd14 by 2 degrees. They also have the same price :-s

[Excalabur50]

Its a good build the 2600k is a very good chip as to the d14 it out performs the h100 in most situations the h100 only beat it at a certain overclock and the d-14 is nice and quite but if they are the same price then its pretty much what you would like to put in, as to the ram some of the mushkin has better timings and seems better to over clock if that is your thing, otherwise should be a nice rig dont forget to post some pics when you are done and enjoy your build

Thanks exalabur ! i will post some pics it's assembly and pieces will arrive probably friday. Yeah in my country the H100 and the D14 are a mere 10$ in price appart. On their website mushkin and corsair had same timing that;s why i went for corsair. ill go for mushkin asap. thanks !

if you do indeed buy a second gtx 590 you will need a psu with more watts, like possibly a 1000w or so

[t3rr4by73]

I will add a corsair 1250 Watt PSU a month or so before i get my second GTX590. For now one card will do ten fold. Probably better to get 3 way sli then Quad-Sli 590 but i don't plan on getting 580 or holding a year or so to get 3x580 and keep em 3-4-5 years then change em. i plan on getting 2x590 in a 1.5 year interval and keeping them for 1 more year or two then getting the next high end card x 2.

Thanks everyone who helps me ! i really appreciate it !

have a look at the corsair ax1200 Tom gave it a big thumbs up it is nearly a platinum standard psu. As to the gtx590's if you plan to overclock them you may have problems if you leave them stock you should be ok thats why i recommended the gtx580's as you can overclock them relativly safely.

[t3rr4by73]

yeah i read gtx590 Has OC problems that one burned after 1.0V o.0 . The faulty performance might be due to drivers in games and the OC might have been a faulty board or a test board. Probably gigabyte has fixed that ( i hope :-s ). Thanks Excalabur i'll check the corsair 1200 ! Mainly i don't plan on OCing the 590 unless i hit a game that i have under 30-40 fps on 1920x1080 full high details.

Should i get the ASRock Fatal1ty Z68 Professional Gen3 intsead of Z68 V PRO ?
